Ecclesiastes 5:9-20

Moreover the profit
<03504>

of the earth
<0776>

is for all: the king
<04428>

[himself] is served
<05647> (8738)

by the field
<07704>_.

He that loveth
<0157> (8802)

silver
<03701>

shall not be satisfied
<07646> (8799)

with silver
<03701>_;

nor he that loveth
<0157> (8802)

abundance
<01995>

with increase
<08393>_:

this [is] also vanity
<01892>_.

When goods
<02896>

increase
<07235> (8800)_,

they are increased
<07231> (8804)

that eat
<0398> (8802)

them: and what good
<03788>

[is there] to the owners
<01167>

thereof, saving
<0518>

the beholding
<07207> (8675) <07212> (8801)

[of them] with their eyes
<05869>_?

The sleep
<08142>

of a labouring man
<05647> (8802)

[is] sweet
<04966>_,

whether he eat
<0398> (8799)

little
<04592>

or much
<07235> (8687)_:

but the abundance
<07647>

of the rich
<06223>

will not suffer
<03240> (8688)

him to sleep
<03462> (8800)_.

There is
<03426>

a sore
<02470> (8802)

evil
<07451>

[which] I have seen
<07200> (8804)

under the sun
<08121>_,

[namely], riches
<06239>

kept
<08104> (8803)

for the owners
<01167>

thereof to their hurt
<07451>_.

But those riches
<06239>

perish
<06> (8804)

by evil
<07451>

travail
<06045>_:

and he begetteth
<03205> (8689)

a son
<01121>_,

and [there is] nothing
<03972>

in his hand
<03027>_.

As he came forth
<03318> (8804)

of his mother's
<0517>

womb
<0990>_,

naked
<06174>

shall he return
<07725> (8799)

to go
<03212> (8800)

as he came
<0935> (8804)_,

and shall take
<05375> (8799)

nothing
<03972>

of his labour
<05999>_,

which he may carry away
<03212> (8686)

in his hand
<03027>_.

And this
<02090>

also [is] a sore
<02470> (8802)

evil
<07451>_,

[that] in all points
<05980>

as he came
<0935> (8804)_,

so shall he go
<03212> (8799)_:

and what profit
<03504>

hath he that hath laboured
<05998> (8799)

for the wind
<07307>_?

All his days
<03117>

also he eateth
<0398> (8799)

in darkness
<02822>_,

and [he hath] much
<07235> (8687)

sorrow
<03707> (8804)

and wrath
<07110>

with his sickness
<02483>_.

Behold [that] which I have seen
<07200> (8804)_:

[it is] good
<02896>

and comely
<03303>

[for one] to eat
<0398> (8800)

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,

and to enjoy
<07200> (8800)

the good
<02896>

of all his labour
<05999>

that he taketh
<05998> (8799)

under the sun
<08121>

all
<04557>

the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_,

which God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8804)

him: for it [is] his portion
<02506>_.

{It is good...: Heb. there is a good which is comely, etc} {all the days: Heb. the number of the days}

Every man
<0120>

also to whom God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

riches
<06239>

and wealth
<05233>_,

and hath given him power
<07980> (8689)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

thereof, and to take
<05375> (8800)

his portion
<02506>_,

and to rejoice
<08055> (8800)

in his labour
<05999>_;

this
<02090>

[is] the gift
<04991>

of God
<0430>_.

For he shall not much
<07235> (8687)

remember
<02142> (8799)

the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_;

because God
<0430>

answereth
<06031> (8688)

[him] in the joy
<08057>

of his heart
<03820>_.

{For...: or, Though he give not much, yet he remembereth, etc}
