Ecclesiastes 2:11-20

Then I looked
<06437> (8804)
on all the works
<04639>
that my hands
<03027>
had wrought
<06213> (8804)_,
and on the labour
<05999>
that I had laboured
<05998> (8804)
to do
<06213> (8800)_:
and, behold, all [was] vanity
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_,
and [there was] no profit
<03504>
under the sun
<08121>_.
And I turned
<06437> (8804)
myself to behold
<07200> (8800)
wisdom
<02451>_,
and madness
<01947>_,
and folly
<05531>_:
for what [can] the man
<0120>
[do] that cometh
<0935> (8799)
after
<0310>
the king
<04428>_?
[even] that which hath been already
<03528>
done
<06213> (8804)_.
{even...: or, in those things which have been already done}
Then I saw
<07200> (8804)
that
<03426>
wisdom
<02451>
excelleth
<03504>
folly
<05531>_,
as far as light
<0216>
excelleth
<03504>
darkness
<02822>_.
{that...: Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc}
The wise man's
<02450>
eyes
<05869>
[are] in his head
<07218>_;
but the fool
<03684>
walketh
<01980> (8802)
in darkness
<02822>_:
and I myself perceived
<03045> (8804)
also that one
<0259>
event
<04745>
happeneth
<07136> (8799)
to them all.
Then
<0227>
said
<0559> (8804)
I in my heart
<03820>_,
As it happeneth
<04745>
to the fool
<03684>_,
so it happeneth
<07136> (8799)
even to me
<01571>_;
and why was I then more
<03148>
wise
<02449> (8804)_?
Then I said
<01696> (8765)
in my heart
<03820>_,
that this also [is] vanity
<01892>_.
{happeneth even...: Heb. happeneth to me, even to me}
For [there is] no remembrance
<02146>
of the wise
<02450>
more than
<05973>
of the fool
<03684>
for ever
<05769>_;
seeing that which now
<03528>
[is] in the days
<03117>
to come
<0935> (8802)
shall all be forgotten
<07911> (8738)_.
And how dieth
<04191> (8799)
the wise
<02450>
[man]? as the fool
<03684>_.
Therefore I hated
<08130> (8804)
life
<02416>_;
because the work
<04639>
that is wrought
<06213> (8738)
under the sun
<08121>
[is] grievous
<07451>
unto me: for all [is] vanity
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_.
Yea, I hated
<08130> (8804)
all my labour
<05999>
which I had taken
<06001>
under the sun
<08121>_:
because I should leave
<03240> (8686)
it unto the man
<0120>
that shall be after
<0310>
me. {taken: Heb. laboured}
And who knoweth
<03045> (8802)
whether he shall be a wise
<02450>
[man] or a fool
<05530>_?
yet shall he have rule
<07980> (8799)
over all my labour
<05999>
wherein I have laboured
<05998> (8804)_,
and wherein I have shewed myself wise
<02449> (8804)
under the sun
<08121>_.
This [is] also vanity
<01892>_.
Therefore I went about
<05437> (8804)
to cause
<02976> (0)
my heart
<03820>
to despair
<02976> (8763)
of all the labour
<05999>
which I took
<05998> (8804)
under the sun
<08121>_.
