Ecclesiastes 1:13

And I gave
<05414> (8804)

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}

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.

4:4

Again, I considered
<07200> (8804)

all travail
<05999>_,

and every right
<03788>

work
<04639>_,

that for this a man
<0376>

is envied
<07068>

of his neighbour
<07453>_.

This [is] also vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07469>

of spirit
<07307>_.

{every...: Heb. all the rightness of work} {for this...: Heb. this is the envy of a man from his neighbour}

Suffer
<05414> (8799)

not thy mouth
<06310>

to cause thy flesh
<01320>

to sin
<02398> (8687)_;

neither say
<0559> (8799)

thou before
<06440>

the angel
<04397>_,

that it [was] an error
<07684>_:

wherefore should God
<0430>

be angry
<07107> (8799)

at thy voice
<06963>_,

and destroy
<02254> (8765)

the work
<04639>

of thine hands
<03027>_?

[it is] good
<02896>

and comely
<03303>

[for one] to eat
<0398> (8800)

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

and to enjoy
<07200> (8800)

the good
<02896>

of all his labour
<05999>

that he taketh
<05998> (8799)

under the sun
<08121>

all
<04557>

the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_,

which God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8804)

him: for it [is] his portion
<02506>_.

{It is good...: Heb. there is a good which is comely, etc} {all the days: Heb. the number of the days}

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>_.

6:2

A man
<0376>

to whom God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8799)

riches
<06239>_,

wealth
<05233>_,

and honour
<03519>_,

so that he wanteth
<02638>

nothing for his soul
<05315>

of all that he desireth
<0183> (8691)_,

yet God
<0430>

giveth him not power
<07980> (8686)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

thereof, but a stranger
<0376> <05237>

eateth
<0398> (8799)

it: this [is] vanity
<01892>_,

and it [is] an evil
<07451>

disease
<02483>_.

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 8:15

8:15

Then I commended
<07623> (8765)

mirth
<08057>_,

because a man
<0120>

hath no better thing
<02896>

under the sun
<08121>_,

than to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

and to be merry
<08055> (8800)_:

for that shall abide
<03867> (8799)

with him of his labour
<05999>

the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_,

which God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8804)

him under the sun
<08121>_.

9:9

Live
<02416>

joyfully
<07200> (8798)

with the wife
<0802>

whom thou lovest
<0157> (8804)

all the days
<03117>

of the life
<02416>

of thy vanity
<01892>_,

which he hath given
<05414> (8804)

thee under the sun
<08121>_,

all the days
<03117>

of thy vanity
<01892>_:

for that [is] thy portion
<02506>

in [this] life
<02416>_,

and in thy labour
<05999>

which thou takest
<06001>

under the sun
<08121>_.
