my heart
<03820>

to seek
<01875> (8800)

and search out
<08446> (8800)

by wisdom
<02451>

concerning all [things] that are done
<06213> (8738)

under heaven
<08064>_:

this sore
<07451>

travail
<06045>

hath God
<0430>

given
<05414> (8804)

to the sons
<01121>

of man
<0120>

to be exercised
<06031> (8800)

therewith. {to be...: or, to afflict them}

Ecclesiastes 1:16

1:16

I communed
<01696> (8765)

with mine own heart
<03820>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Lo, I am come to great estate
<01431> (8689)_,

and have gotten
<03254> (8689)

more wisdom
<02451>

than all [they] that have been before
<06440>

me in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

yea, my heart
<03820>

had great
<07235> (8687)

experience
<07200> (8804)

of wisdom
<02451>

and knowledge
<01847>_.

{had...: Heb. had seen much}

2:10

And whatsoever mine eyes
<05869>

desired
<07592> (8804)

I kept
<0680> (8804)

not from them, I withheld
<04513> (8804)

not my heart
<03820>

from any joy
<08057>_;

for my heart
<03820>

rejoiced
<08056>

in all my labour
<05999>_:

and this was my portion
<02506>

of all my labour
<05999>_.

I know
<03045> (8804)

that, whatsoever God
<0430>

doeth
<06213> (8799)_,

it shall be for ever
<05769>_:

nothing
<0369>

can be put
<03254> (8687)

to it, nor any thing taken
<01639> (8800)

from it: and God
<0430>

doeth
<06213> (8804)

[it], that [men] should fear
<03372> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.

Ecclesiastes 4:1

4:1

So I returned
<07725> (8804)_,

and considered
<07200> (8799)

all the oppressions
<06217>

that are done
<06213> (8737)

under the sun
<08121>_:

and behold the tears
<01832>

of [such as were] oppressed
<06231> (8803)_,

and they had no comforter
<05162> (8764)_;

and on the side
<03027>

of their oppressors
<06231> (8802)

[there was] power
<03581>_;

but they had no comforter
<05162> (8764)_.

{side: Heb. hand}

Ecclesiastes 4:16--5:1

4:16

[There is] no end
<07093>

of all the people
<05971>_,

[even] of all that have been before
<06440>

them: they also that come after
<0314>

shall not rejoice
<08055> (8799)

in him. Surely this also [is] vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07475>

of spirit
<07307>_.

5:1

Keep
<08104> (8798)

thy foot
<07272>

when thou goest
<03212> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

and be more ready
<07138>

to hear
<08085> (8800)_,

than to give
<05414> (8800)

the sacrifice
<02077>

of fools
<03684>_:

for they consider
<03045> (8802)

not that they do
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>_.

Ecclesiastes 5:19

5:19

Every man
<0120>

also to whom God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

riches
<06239>

and wealth
<05233>_,

and hath given him power
<07980> (8689)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

thereof, and to take
<05375> (8800)

his portion
<02506>_,

and to rejoice
<08055> (8800)

in his labour
<05999>_;

this
<02090>

[is] the gift
<04991>

of God
<0430>_.

Ecclesiastes 6:12

For who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

what [is] good
<02896>

for man
<0120>

in [this] life
<02416>_,

all
<04557>

the days
<03117>

of his vain
<01892>

life
<02416>

which he spendeth
<06213> (8799)

as a shadow
<06738>_?

for who can tell
<05046> (8686)

a man
<0120>

what shall be after
<0310>

him under the sun
<08121>_?

{all...: Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity}

Ecclesiastes 7:26

7:26

And I find
<04672> (8802)

more bitter
<04751>

than death
<04194>

the woman
<0802>_,

whose heart
<03820>

[is] snares
<04685>

and nets
<02764>_,

[and] her hands
<03027>

[as] bands
<0612>_:

whoso pleaseth
<02896> <06440>

God
<0430>

shall escape
<04422> (8735)

from her; but the sinner
<02398> (8802)

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)

by her. {whoso...: Heb. he that is good before God}

Ecclesiastes 9:1

9:1

For all this I considered
<05414> (8804)

in my heart
<03820>

even to declare
<0952> (8800)

all this, that the righteous
<06662>_,

and the wise
<02450>_,

and their works
<05652>_,

[are] in the hand
<03027>

of God
<0430>_:

no man
<0120>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

either
<01571>

love
<0160>

or hatred
<08135>

[by] all [that is] before
<06440>

them. {I considered...: Heb. I gave, or, set to my heart}

Ecclesiastes 9:3

9:3

This [is] an evil
<07451>

among all [things] that are done
<06213> (8738)

under the sun
<08121>_,

that [there is] one
<0259>

event
<04745>

unto all: yea, also the heart
<03820>

of the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>

is full
<04390> (8804)

of evil
<07451>_,

and madness
<01947>

[is] in their heart
<03824>

while they live
<02416>_,

and after
<0310>

that [they go] to the dead
<04191> (8801)_.
