Ecclesiastes 2:18-26

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}
