Ecclesiastes 2:20-26

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}
