Psalms 39:5-6

39:5

Behold, thou hast made
<05414> (8804)

my days
<03117>

[as] an handbreadth
<02947>_;

and mine age
<02465>

[is] as nothing before thee: verily every
<03605>

man
<0120>

at his best state
<05324> (8737)

[is] altogether
<03605>

vanity
<01892>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

{at...: Heb. settled}

39:6

Surely every man
<0376>

walketh
<01980> (8691)

in a vain shew
<06754>_:

surely they are disquieted
<01993> (8799)

in vain
<01892>_:

he heapeth up
<06651> (8799)

[riches], and knoweth
<03045> (8799)

not who shall gather
<0622> (8802)

them. {a vain...: Heb. an image}

Ecclesiastes 1:14

1:14

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

all the works
<04639>

that are done
<06213> (8738)

under the sun
<08121>_;

and, behold, all [is] vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07469>

of spirit
<07307>_.

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

2:1

I said
<0559> (8804)

in mine heart
<03820>_,

Go to now
<03212> (8798)_,

I will prove
<05254> (8762)

thee with mirth
<08057>_,

therefore enjoy
<07200> (8798)

pleasure
<02896>_:

and, behold, this also [is] vanity
<01892>_.

2:2

I said
<0559> (8804)

of laughter
<07814>_,

[It is] mad
<01984> (8781)_:

and of mirth
<08057>_,

What
<02090>

doeth
<06213> (8802)

it?

2:3

I sought
<08446> (8804)

in mine heart
<03820>

to give
<04900> (8800)

myself
<01320>

unto wine
<03196>_,

yet acquainting
<05090> (8802)

mine heart
<03820>

with wisdom
<02451>_;

and to lay hold
<0270> (8800)

on folly
<05531>_,

till I might see
<07200> (8799)

what [was] that good
<02896>

for the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

which they should do
<06213> (8799)

under the heaven
<08064>

all
<04557>

the days
<03117>

of their life
<02416>_.

{to give...: Heb. to draw my flesh with wine} {all...: Heb. the number of the days of their life}

2:4

I made me great
<01431> (8689)

works
<04639>_;

I builded
<01129> (8804)

me houses
<01004>_;

I planted
<05193> (8804)

me vineyards
<03754>_:

2:5

I made
<06213> (8804)

me gardens
<01593>

and orchards
<06508>_,

and I planted
<05193> (8804)

trees
<06086>

in them of all [kind of] fruits
<06529>_:

2:6

I made
<06213> (8804)

me pools
<01295>

of water
<04325>_,

to water
<08248> (8687)

therewith the wood
<03293>

that bringeth forth
<06779> (8802)

trees
<06086>_:

2:7

I got
<07069> (8804)

[me] servants
<05650>

and maidens
<08198>_,

and had servants born
<01121>

in my house
<01004>_;

also I had great
<07235> (8687)

possessions
<04735>

of great
<01241>

and small cattle
<06629>

above all that were in Jerusalem
<03389>

before
<06440>

me: {servants born...: Heb. sons of my house}

2:8

I gathered
<03664> (8804)

me also silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>_,

and the peculiar treasure
<05459>

of kings
<04428>

and of the provinces
<04082>_:

I gat
<06213> (8804)

me men singers
<07891> (8802)

and women singers
<07891> (8802)_,

and the delights
<08588>

of the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

[as] musical instruments
<07705> <07705>_,

and that of all sorts. {musical...: Heb. musical instrument and instruments}

2:9

So I was great
<01431> (8804)_,

and increased
<03254> (8689)

more than all that were before
<06440>

me in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

also my wisdom
<02451>

remained
<05975> (8804)

with me.

2:10

And whatsoever mine eyes
<05869>

desired
<07592> (8804)

I kept
<0680> (8804)

not from them, I withheld
<04513> (8804)

not my heart
<03820>

from any joy
<08057>_;

for my heart
<03820>

rejoiced
<08056>

in all my labour
<05999>_:

and this was my portion
<02506>

of all my labour
<05999>_.

2:11

Then I looked
<06437> (8804)

on all the works
<04639>

that my hands
<03027>

had wrought
<06213> (8804)_,

and on the labour
<05999>

that I had laboured
<05998> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)_:

and, behold, all [was] vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07469>

of spirit
<07307>_,

and [there was] no profit
<03504>

under the sun
<08121>_.

Ecclesiastes 2:20-23

2:20

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>_.

2:21

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}

2:22

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>_?

2:23

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>_.

Ecclesiastes 4:8

4:8

There is
<03426>

one
<0259>

[alone], and [there is] not a second
<08145>_;

yea, he hath neither child
<01121>

nor brother
<0251>_:

yet [is there] no end
<07093>

of all his labour
<05999>_;

neither is his eye
<05869>

satisfied
<07646> (8799)

with riches
<06239>_;

neither [saith he], For whom do I labour
<06001>_,

and bereave
<02637> (8764)

my soul
<05315>

of good
<02896>_?

This [is] also vanity
<01892>_,

yea, it [is] a sore
<07451>

travail
<06045>_.
