Ecclesiastes 2:15-26

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>_.
For there is
<03426>
a man
<0120>
whose labour
<05999>
[is] in wisdom
<02451>_,
and in knowledge
<01847>_,
and in equity
<03788>_;
yet to a man
<0120>
that hath not laboured
<05998> (8804)
therein shall he leave
<05414> (8799)
it [for] his portion
<02506>_.
This also [is] vanity
<01892>
and a great
<07227>
evil
<07451>_.
{leave: Heb. give}
For what hath
<01933> (8802)
man
<0120>
of all his labour
<05999>_,
and of the vexation
<07475>
of his heart
<03820>_,
wherein
<01931>
he hath laboured
<06001>
under the sun
<08121>_?
For all his days
<03117>
[are] sorrows
<04341>_,
and his travail
<06045>
grief
<03708>_;
yea, his heart
<03820>
taketh not rest
<07901> (8804)
in the night
<03915>_.
This is also vanity
<01892>_.
[There is] nothing better
<02896>
for a man
<0120>_,
[than] that he should eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8804)_,
and [that] he should make his soul
<05315>
enjoy
<07200> (8689)
good
<02896>
in his labour
<05999>_.
This
<02090>
also I saw
<07200> (8804)_,
that it [was] from the hand
<03027>
of God
<0430>_.
{should make...: or, delight his senses}
For who can eat
<0398> (8799)_,
or who else can hasten
<02363> (8799)
[hereunto], more
<02351>
than I?
For [God] giveth
<05414> (8804)
to a man
<0120>
that [is] good
<02896>
in his sight
<06440>
wisdom
<02451>_,
and knowledge
<01847>_,
and joy
<08057>_:
but to the sinner
<02398> (8802)
he giveth
<05414> (8804)
travail
<06045>_,
to gather
<0622> (8800)
and to heap up
<03664> (8800)_,
that he may give
<05414> (8800)
to [him that is] good
<02896>
before
<06440>
God
<0430>_.
This also [is] vanity
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_.
{in his...: Heb. before him}
