[1]I saidH559[H8804] in mine heartH3820, Go to nowH3212[H8798], I will proveH5254[H8762] thee with mirthH8057, therefore enjoyH7200[H8798] pleasureH2896: and, behold, this also is vanityH1892. [No book]
[2]I saidH559[H8804] of laughterH7814, It is madH1984[H8781]: and of mirthH8057, WhatH2090 doethH6213 itH8802? [No book]
[3]I soughtH8446[H8804] in mine heartH3820 to giveH4900[H8800] myselfH1320 unto wineH3196, yet acquaintingH5090[H8802] mine heartH3820 with wisdomH2451; and to lay holdH270[H8800] on follyH5531, till I might seeH7200[H8799] what was that goodH2896 for the sonsH1121 of menH120, which they should doH6213[H8799] under the heavenH8064 allH4557 the daysH3117 of their lifeH2416. [No book]
[4]I made me greatH1431[H8689] worksH4639; I buildedH1129[H8804] me housesH1004; I plantedH5193[H8804] me vineyardsH3754: [No book]
[5]I madeH6213[H8804] me gardensH1593 and orchardsH6508, and I plantedH5193[H8804] treesH6086 in them of all kind of fruitsH6529: [No book]
[6]I madeH6213[H8804] me poolsH1295 of waterH4325, to waterH8248[H8687] therewith the woodH3293 that bringeth forthH6779[H8802] treesH6086: [No book]
[7]I gotH7069[H8804] me servantsH5650 and maidensH8198, and had servants bornH1121 in my houseH1004; also I had greatH7235[H8687] possessionsH4735 of greatH1241 and small cattleH6629 above all that were in JerusalemH3389 before meH6440: [No book]
[8]I gatheredH3664[H8804] me also silverH3701 and goldH2091, and the peculiar treasureH5459 of kingsH4428 and of the provincesH4082: I gatH6213[H8804] me men singersH7891[H8802] and women singersH7891[H8802], and the delightsH8588 of the sonsH1121 of menH120, as musical instrumentsH7705, and that of all sortsH7705. [No book]
[9]So I was greatH1431[H8804], and increasedH3254[H8689] more than all that were beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389: also my wisdomH2451 remainedH5975 with meH8804. [No book]
[10]And whatsoever mine eyesH5869 desiredH7592[H8804] I keptH680[H8804] not from them, I withheldH4513[H8804] not my heartH3820 from any joyH8057; for my heartH3820 rejoicedH8056 in all my labourH5999: and this was my portionH2506 of all my labourH5999. [No book]
[11]Then I lookedH6437[H8804] on all the worksH4639 that my handsH3027 had wroughtH6213[H8804], and on the labourH5999 that I had labouredH5998[H8804] to doH6213[H8800]: and, behold, all was vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307, and there was no profitH3504 under the sunH8121. [No book]
[12]And I turnedH6437[H8804] myself to beholdH7200[H8800] wisdomH2451, and madnessH1947, and follyH5531: for what can the manH120 do that comethH935[H8799] afterH310 the kingH4428? even that which hath been alreadyH3528 doneH6213.[H8804] [No book]
[13]Then I sawH7200[H8804] thatH3426 wisdomH2451 excellethH3504 follyH5531, as far as lightH216 excellethH3504 darknessH2822. [No book]
[14]The wise man'sH2450 eyesH5869 are in his headH7218; but the foolH3684 walkethH1980[H8802] in darknessH2822: and I myself perceivedH3045[H8804] also that oneH259 eventH4745 happenethH7136 to them allH8799. [No book]
[15]ThenH227 saidH559[H8804] I in my heartH3820, As it happenethH4745 to the foolH3684, so it happenethH7136[H8799] even to meH1571; and why was I then moreH3148 wiseH2449[H8804]? Then I saidH1696[H8765] in my heartH3820, that this also is vanityH1892. [No book]
[16]For there is no remembranceH2146 of the wiseH2450 more thanH5973 of the foolH3684 for everH5769; seeing that which nowH3528 is in the daysH3117 to comeH935[H8802] shall all be forgottenH7911[H8738]. And how diethH4191[H8799] the wiseH2450 man? as the foolH3684. [No book]
[17]Therefore I hatedH8130[H8804] lifeH2416; because the workH4639 that is wroughtH6213[H8738] under the sunH8121 is grievousH7451 unto me: for all is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. [No book]
[18]Yea, I hatedH8130[H8804] all my labourH5999 which I had takenH6001 under the sunH8121: because I should leaveH3240[H8686] it unto the manH120 that shall be after meH310. [No book]
[19]And who knowethH3045[H8802] whether he shall be a wiseH2450 man or a foolH5530? yet shall he have ruleH7980[H8799] over all my labourH5999 wherein I have labouredH5998[H8804], and wherein I have shewed myself wiseH2449[H8804] under the sunH8121. This is also vanityH1892. [No book]
[20]Therefore I went aboutH5437[H8804] to causeH2976 my heartH3820 to despairH2976[H8763] of all the labourH5999 which I tookH5998[H8804] under the sunH8121. [No book]
[21]For there isH3426 a manH120 whose labourH5999 is in wisdomH2451, and in knowledgeH1847, and in equityH3788; yet to a manH120 that hath not labouredH5998[H8804] therein shall he leaveH5414[H8799] it for his portionH2506. This also is vanityH1892 and a greatH7227 evilH7451. [No book]
[22]For what hathH1933[H8802] manH120 of all his labourH5999, and of the vexationH7475 of his heartH3820, whereinH1931 he hath labouredH6001 under the sunH8121? [No book]
[23]For all his daysH3117 are sorrowsH4341, and his travailH6045 griefH3708; yea, his heartH3820 taketh not restH7901[H8804] in the nightH3915. This is also vanityH1892. [No book]
[24]There is nothing betterH2896 for a manH120, than that he should eatH398[H8799] and drinkH8354[H8804], and that he should make his soulH5315 enjoyH7200[H8689] goodH2896 in his labourH5999. ThisH2090 also I sawH7200[H8804], that it was from the handH3027 of GodH430. [No book]
[25]For who can eatH398[H8799], or who else can hastenH2363[H8799] hereunto, more than IH2351? [No book]
[26]For God givethH5414[H8804] to a manH120 that is goodH2896 in his sightH6440 wisdomH2451, and knowledgeH1847, and joyH8057: but to the sinnerH2398[H8802] he givethH5414[H8804] travailH6045, to gatherH622[H8800] and to heap upH3664[H8800], that he may giveH5414[H8800] to him that is goodH2896 beforeH6440 GodH430. This also is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. [No book]
