H559 [H8804]
I said
H3820
in my heart
H3212 [H8798]
, Come now
H5254 [H8762]
, I will test
H8057
thee with mirth
H7200 [H8798]
, therefore enjoy
H2896
pleasure
H1892
: and, behold, this also is vanity.
2
H559 [H8804]
I said
H7814
of laughter
H1984 [H8781]
, It is mad
H8057
: and of mirth
H2090
, What
H6213 [H8802]
doeth it?
3
H8446 [H8804]
I sought
H3820
in my heart
H4900 [H8800]
to give
H1320
myself
H3196
to wine
H5090 [H8802]
, yet acquainting
H3820
my heart
H2451
with wisdom
H270 [H8800]
; and to lay hold
H5531
on folly
H7200 [H8799]
, till I might see
H2896
what was that good
H1121
for the sons
H120
of men
H6213 [H8799]
, which they should do
H8064
under the heaven
H4557
all
H3117
the days
H2416
of their life.
4
H1431 [H8689]
I made for myself great
H4639
works
H1129 [H8804]
; I built
H1004
houses
H5193 [H8804]
; I planted
H3754
vineyards:
5
H6213 [H8804]
I made
H1593
me gardens
H6508
and orchards
H5193 [H8804]
, and I planted
H6086
trees
H6529
in them of all kind of fruits:
6
H6213 [H8804]
I made
H1295
me pools
H4325
of water
H8248 [H8687]
, to water
H3293
with them the wood
H6779 [H8802]
that bringeth forth
H6086
trees:
7
H7069 [H8804]
I procured
H5650
me male
H8198
and female servants
H1121
, and had servants born
H1004
in my house
H7235 [H8687]
; also I had great
H4735
possessions
H1241
of herds
H6629
and flocks
H3389
above all that were in Jerusalem
H6440
before me:
8
H3664 [H8804]
I gathered
H3701
me also silver
H2091
and gold
H5459
, and the special treasure
H4428
of kings
H4082
and of the provinces
H6213 [H8804]
: I procured
H7891 [H8802]
me male
H7891 [H8802]
and female singers
H8588
, and the delights
H1121
of the sons
H120
of men
H7705
, as musical instruments, and of all sorts.
9
H1431 [H8804]
So I was great
H3254 [H8689]
, and increased
H6440
more than all that were before
H3389
me in Jerusalem
H2451
: also my wisdom
H5975 [H8804]
remained with me.
10
H5869
And whatever my eyes
H7592 [H8804]
desired
H680 [H8804]
I kept
H4513 [H8804]
not from them, I withheld
H3820
not my heart
H8057
from any joy
H3820
; for my heart
H8056
rejoiced
H5999
in all my labour
H2506
: and this was my portion
H5999
of all my labour.
11
H6437 [H8804]
Then I looked
H4639
on all the works
H3027
that my hands
H6213 [H8804]
had wrought
H5999
, and on the labour
H5998 [H8804]
that I had laboured
H6213 [H8800]
to do
H1892
: and, behold, all was vanity
H7469
and vexation
H7307
of spirit
H3504
, and there was no profit
H8121
under the sun.
12
H6437 [H8804]
And I turned
H7200 [H8800]
myself to behold
H2451
wisdom
H1947
, and madness
H5531
, and folly
H120
: for what can the man
H935 [H8799]
do that cometh
H310
after
H4428
the king
H3528
? even that which hath been already
H6213 [H8804]
done.
13
H7200 [H8804]
Then I saw
H3426
that
H2451
wisdom
H3504
excelleth
H5531
folly
H216
, as far as light
H3504
excelleth
H2822
darkness.
14
H2450
The wise man's
H5869
eyes
H7218
are in his head
H3684
; but the fool
H1980 [H8802]
walketh
H2822
in darkness
H3045 [H8804]
: and I myself perceived
H259
also that one
H4745
event
H7136 [H8799]
happeneth to them all.
15
H227
Then
H559 [H8804]
said
H3820
I in my heart
H4745
, As it happeneth
H3684
to the fool
H7136 [H8799]
, so it happeneth
H1571
even to me
H3148
; and why was I then more
H2449 [H8804]
wise
H1696 [H8765]
? Then I said
H3820
in my heart
H1892
, that this also is vanity.
16
H2146
For there is no remembrance
H2450
of the wise
H5973
more than
H3684
of the fool
H5769
for ever
H3528
; seeing that which now
H3117
is in the days
H935 [H8802]
to come
H7911 [H8738]
shall all be forgotten
H4191 [H8799]
. And how dieth
H2450
the wise
H3684
man? as the fool.
17
H8130 [H8804]
Therefore I hated
H2416
life
H4639
; because the work
H6213 [H8738]
that is wrought
H8121
under the sun
H7451
is grievous
H1892
to me: for all is vanity
H7469
and vexation
H7307
of spirit.
18
H8130 [H8804]
Yea, I hated
H5999
all my labour
H6001
which I had taken
H8121
under the sun
H3240 [H8686]
: because I should leave
H120
it to the man
H310
that shall be after me.
19
H3045 [H8802]
And who knoweth
H2450
whether he shall be a wise
H5530
man or a fool
H7980 [H8799]
? yet shall he have rule
H5999
over all my labour
H5998 [H8804]
in which I have laboured
H2449 [H8804]
, and in which I have showed myself wise
H8121
under the sun
H1892
. This is also vanity.
20
H5437 [H8804]
Therefore I went about
H2976 0
to cause
H3820
my heart
H2976 [H8763]
to despair
H5999
of all the labour
H5998 [H8804]
which I took
H8121
under the sun.
21
H3426
For there is
H120
a man
H5999
whose labour
H2451
is in wisdom
H1847
, and in knowledge
H3788
, and in equity
H120
; yet to a man
H5998 [H8804]
that hath not laboured
H5414 [H8799]
in it shall he leave
H2506
it for his portion
H1892
. This also is vanity
H7227
and a great
H7451
evil.
22
H1933 [H8802]
For what hath
H120
man
H5999
of all his labour
H7475
, and of the vexation
H3820
of his heart
H1931
, in which
H6001
he hath laboured
H8121
under the sun?
23
H3117
For all his days
H4341
are sorrows
H6045
, and his labour
H3708
grief
H3820
; yea, his heart
H7901 [H8804]
taketh not rest
H3915
in the night
H1892
. This is also vanity.
24
H2896
There is nothing better
H120
for a man
H398 [H8799]
, than that he should eat
H8354 [H8804]
and drink
H5315
, and that he should make his soul
H7200 [H8689]
enjoy
H2896
good
H5999
in his labour
H2090
. This
H7200 [H8804]
also I saw
H3027
, that it was from the hand
H430
of God.
26
H5414 [H8804]
For God giveth
H120
to a man
H2896
who is good
H6440
in his sight
H2451
wisdom
H1847
, and knowledge
H8057
, and joy
H2398 [H8802]
: but to the sinner
H5414 [H8804]
he giveth
H6045
toil
H622 [H8800]
, to gather
H3664 [H8800]
and to store up
H5414 [H8800]
wealth, that he may give
H2896
to him that is good
H6440
before
H430
God
H1892
. This also is vanity
H7469
and vexation
H7307
of spirit.
