Ecclesiastes 2:19

2:19

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>_.

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

[even] of all that have been before

them: they also that come after
<0314>

shall not rejoice
<08055> (8799)

in him. Surely this also [is] vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07475>

of spirit
<07307>_.

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

and justice
<06664>

in a province
<04082>_,

marvel
<08539> (8799)

not at the matter
<02656>_:

for [he that is] higher
<01364>

than the highest
<01364>

regardeth

and [there be] higher
<01364>

than they

For who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

what [is] good
<02896>

for man

in [this] life
<02416>_,

all
<04557>

the days
<03117>

of his vain
<01892>

life
<02416>

which he spendeth
<06213> (8799)

as a shadow

for who can tell
<05046> (8686)

a man
<0120>

what shall be after
<0310>

him under the sun
<08121>_?

{all...: Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity}

Curse
<07043> (8762)

not the king

<04093>_;

and curse
<07043> (8762)

not the rich
<06223>

in thy bedchamber
<02315> <04904>_:

for a bird
<05775>

of the air
<08064>

shall carry
<03212> (8686)

the voice
<06963>_,

and that which hath

wings
<03671>

shall tell
<05046> (8686)

the matter
<01697>_.

{thought: or, conscience}
