Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

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>_.

I said
<0559> (8804)

of laughter
<07814>_,

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

and of mirth
<08057>_,

What
<02090>

doeth
<06213> (8802)

it?

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}

I made me great
<01431> (8689)

works
<04639>_;

I builded
<01129> (8804)

me houses
<01004>_;

I planted
<05193> (8804)

me vineyards
<03754>_:

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>_:

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>_:

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}

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}

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.

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>_.

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 2:15

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}

Ecclesiastes 2:17

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>_.

Ecclesiastes 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>_.

Ecclesiastes 2:21-23

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>_.

Ecclesiastes 2:26

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}
