Ecclesiastes 2:15-26
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>
whether he shall be a wise
<02450>
<02450>
[man] or a fool
<05530>_?
<05530>_?
over all my labour
<05999>
<05999>
under the sun
<08121>_.
<08121>_.
This [is] also vanity
<01892>_.
<01892>_.
For there is
<03426>
<03426>
a man
<0120>
<0120>
whose labour
<05999>
<05999>
[is] in wisdom
<02451>_,
<02451>_,
and in knowledge
<01847>_,
<01847>_,
and in equity
<03788>_;
<03788>_;
yet to a man
<0120>
<0120>
it [for] his portion
<02506>_.
<02506>_.
This also [is] vanity
<01892>
<01892>
and a great
<07227>
<07227>
evil
<07451>_.
{leave: Heb. give}<07451>_.
man
<0120>
<0120>
of all his labour
<05999>_,
<05999>_,
and of the vexation
<07475>
<07475>
of his heart
<03820>_,
<03820>_,
wherein
<01931>
<01931>
he hath laboured
<06001>
<06001>
under the sun
<08121>_?
<08121>_?
For all his days
<03117>
<03117>
[are] sorrows
<04341>_,
<04341>_,
and his travail
<06045>
<06045>
grief
<03708>_;
<03708>_;
yea, his heart
<03820>
<03820>
in the night
<03915>_.
<03915>_.
This is also vanity
<01892>_.
<01892>_.
[There is] nothing better
<02896>
<02896>
for a man
<0120>_,
<0120>_,
and [that] he should make his soul
<05315>
<05315>
good
<02896>
<02896>
in his labour
<05999>_.
<05999>_.
This
<02090>
<02090>
that it [was] from the hand
<03027>
<03027>
of God
<0430>_.
{should make...: or, delight his senses}<0430>_.
[hereunto], more
<02351>
than I?<02351>
