Ecclesiastes 2:11-20
on all the works
<04639>
<04639>
that my hands
<03027>
<03027>
and on the labour
<05999>
<05999>
and, behold, all [was] vanity
<01892>
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_,
<07307>_,
and [there was] no profit
<03504>
<03504>
under the sun
<08121>_.
<08121>_.
wisdom
<02451>_,
<02451>_,
and madness
<01947>_,
<01947>_,
and folly
<05531>_:
<05531>_:
for what [can] the man
<0120>
<0120>
after
<0310>
<0310>
the king
<04428>_?
<04428>_?
[even] that which hath been already
<03528>
{even...: or, in those things which have been already done}<03528>
that
<03426>
<03426>
wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
excelleth
<03504>
<03504>
folly
<05531>_,
<05531>_,
as far as light
<0216>
<0216>
excelleth
<03504>
<03504>
darkness
<02822>_.
{that...: Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc}<02822>_.
The wise man's
<02450>
<02450>
eyes
<05869>
<05869>
[are] in his head
<07218>_;
<07218>_;
but the fool
<03684>
<03684>
in darkness
<02822>_:
<02822>_:
also that one
<0259>
<0259>
event
<04745>
to them all.<04745>
Then
<0227>
<0227>
I in my heart
<03820>_,
<03820>_,
As it happeneth
<04745>
<04745>
to the fool
<03684>_,
<03684>_,
even to me
<01571>_;
<01571>_;
and why was I then more
<03148>
<03148>
in my heart
<03820>_,
<03820>_,
that this also [is] vanity
<01892>_.
{happeneth even...: Heb. happeneth to me, even to me}<01892>_.
For [there is] no remembrance
<02146>
<02146>
of the wise
<02450>
<02450>
more than
<05973>
<05973>
of the fool
<03684>
<03684>
for ever
<05769>_;
<05769>_;
seeing that which now
<03528>
<03528>
[is] in the days
<03117>
<03117>
the wise
<02450>
<02450>
[man]? as the fool
<03684>_.
<03684>_.
life
<02416>_;
<02416>_;
because the work
<04639>
<04639>
under the sun
<08121>
<08121>
[is] grievous
<07451>
<07451>
unto me: for all [is] vanity
<01892>
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_.
<07307>_.
all my labour
<05999>
<05999>
which I had taken
<06001>
<06001>
under the sun
<08121>_:
<08121>_:
it unto the man
<0120>
<0120>
that shall be after
<0310>
me. {taken: Heb. laboured}<0310>
