1 I H589 PPRO-1MS said H559 in mine heart H3820 , Go to H1980 VQI2MS-3FS now H4994 IJEC , I will prove H5254 thee with mirth H8057 , therefore enjoy H7200 W-VQI2MS pleasure H2896 : and , behold H2009 IJEC , this H1931 PPRO-3MS also H1571 CONJ is vanity H1892 .
2 I said H559 VQQ1MS of laughter H7814 , It is mad H1984 : and of mirth H8057 , What H4100 IPRO doeth H6213 it H2090 ?
3 I sought H8446 in mine heart H3820 to give H4900 myself H1320 CMS-1MS unto wine H3196 , yet acquainting H5090 mine heart H3820 with wisdom H2451 ; and to lay hold H270 on folly H5531 , till H5704 PREP I might see H7200 VQY1MS what H335 IPRO was that H2088 DPRO good H2896 AMS for the sons H1121 L-CMP of men H120 D-NMS , which H834 RPRO they should do H6213 under H8478 NMS the heaven H8064 D-NMD all H4557 CMS the days H3117 CMP of their life H2416 .
4 I made me great H1431 works H4639 ; I built H1129 me houses H1004 NMP ; I planted H5193 me vineyards H3754 NMP :
5 I made H6213 VQQ1MS me gardens H1593 and orchards H6508 , and I planted H5193 trees H6086 NMS in them of all H3605 NMS kind of fruits H6529 :
6 I made H6213 VQQ1MS me pools H1295 of water H4325 NMD , to water H8248 L-VHFC therewith H4480 the wood H3293 that bringeth forth H6779 trees H6086 :
7 I got H7069 VQQ1MS me servants H5650 NMP and maidens H8198 , and had H1961 VQQ3MS servants born H1121 W-CMP in my house H1004 ; also H1571 CONJ I had H1961 VQQ3MS great H7235 VHFA possessions H4735 NMS of great H1241 and small cattle H6629 above all H3605 M-CMS that were in Jerusalem H3389 before H6440 L-CMP me :
8 I gathered H3664 me also H1571 CONJ silver H3701 NMS and gold H2091 , and the peculiar treasure H5459 of kings H4428 NMP and of the provinces H4082 : I got H6213 VQQ1MS me men singers H7891 and women singers H7891 , and the delights H8588 of the sons H1121 of men H120 D-NMS , as musical instruments H7705 , and that of all sorts .
9 So I was great H1431 , and increased more H3254 than all H3605 M-CMS that were before H6440 L-CMP me in Jerusalem H3389 : also H637 CONJ my wisdom H2451 remained H5975 with me .
10 And whatsoever H3605 W-CMS mine eyes H5869 CMD-1MS desired H7592 I kept H680 not H3808 NADV from H4480 them , I withheld H4513 not H3808 ADV my heart H3820 NMS-1MS from any H3605 M-CMS joy H8057 ; for H3588 CONJ my heart H3820 NMS-1MS rejoiced H8056 in all H3605 M-CMS my labor H5999 : and this H2088 W-PMS was H1961 VQQ3MS my portion H2506 CMS-1MS of all H3605 M-CMS my labor H5999 .
11 Then I H589 PPRO-1MS looked H6437 on all H3605 B-CMS the works H4639 that my hands had wrought H7945 , and on the labor H5999 that I had labored H5998 to do H6213 : and , behold H2009 IJEC , all H3605 was vanity H1892 NMS and vexation H7469 of spirit H7307 NFS , and there was no H369 W-NPAR profit H3504 under H8478 NMS the sun H8121 .
12 And I H589 PPRO-1MS turned H6437 myself to behold H7200 L-VQFC wisdom H2451 NFS , and madness H1947 , and folly H5531 : for H3588 CONJ what H4100 IPRO can the man H120 D-NMS do that cometh H7945 after H310 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS ? even that which H834 RPRO hath been already H3528 done H6213 .
13 Then I H589 PPRO-1MS saw H7200 that wisdom H2451 LD-NFS excelleth H3504 folly H5531 , as far as light H216 D-NMS excelleth H3504 darkness H2822 D-NMS .
14 The wise man H2450 I-AMS \'s eyes H5869 CMD-3MS are in his head H7218 ; but the fool H3684 walketh H1980 VQPMS in darkness H2822 BD-NMS : and I myself H589 PPRO-1MS perceived H3045 also H1571 CONJ that one event H7945 happeneth H7136 to H854 them all H3605 CMS-3MP .
15 Then said H559 I H589 PPRO-1MS in my heart H3820 , As it happeneth H4745 to the fool H3684 , so it happeneth H7136 even H1571 CONJ to me ; and why H4100 WL-IGAT was I H589 PPRO-1MS then H227 ADV more H3148 wise H2449 ? Then I said H1696 in my heart H3820 , that this H2088 DPRO also H7945 is vanity H1892 .
16 For H3588 CONJ there is no H369 NPAR remembrance H2146 of the wise H2450 more than H5973 of the fool H3684 forever H5769 L-NMS ; seeing that which now H7945 is in the days H3117 D-NMP to come H935 shall all H3605 be forgotten H7911 . And how H349 W-IJEC dieth H4191 VQY3MS the wise H2450 man ? as H5973 the fool H3684 .
17 Therefore I hated H8130 life H2416 ; because H3588 CONJ the work H4639 that is wrought H7945 under H8478 NMS the sun H8121 is grievous H7451 AMS unto H5921 PREP-1MS me : for H3588 CONJ all H3605 is vanity H1892 NMS and vexation H7469 of spirit H7307 NMS .
18 Yea , I H589 PPRO-1MS hated H8130 all H3605 NMS my labor H5999 which I H589 PPRO-1MS had taken H6001 NMS under H8478 NMS the sun H8121 : because I should leave H7945 it unto the man H120 that shall be after H310 me .
19 And who H4310 W-IPRO knoweth H3045 VQPMS whether he shall be H1961 VQY3MS a wise H2450 I-AMS man or H176 CONJ a fool H5530 ? yet shall he have rule H7980 over all H3605 B-CMS my labor H5999 wherein I have labored H5998 , and wherein I have showed myself wise H7945 under H8478 NMS the sun H8121 . This H2088 DPRO is also H1571 CONJ vanity H1892 .
20 Therefore I H589 PPRO-1MS went about H5437 to cause my heart H3820 NMS-1MS to despair H2976 of H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS the labor H5999 which I took H7945 under H8478 NMS the sun H8121 .
21 For H3588 CONJ there is H3426 PART a man H120 NMS whose labor H7945 is in wisdom H2451 B-NFS , and in knowledge H1847 , and in equity H3788 ; yet to a man H120 WL-NMS that hath not H7945 labored H5998 therein shall he leave H5414 it for his portion H2506 . This H2088 DPRO also H1571 CONJ is vanity H1892 NMS and a great H7227 AFS evil H7451 .
22 For H3588 CONJ what H4100 hath H1933 man H120 LD-NMS of all H3605 B-CMS his labor H5999 , and of the vexation H7475 of his heart H3820 CMS-3MS , wherein he hath labored H6001 NMS under H8478 NMS the sun H8121 ?
23 For H3588 CONJ all H3605 CMS his days H3117 CMP-3MS are sorrows H4341 , and his travail H6045 grief H3708 ; yea H1571 CONJ , his heart H3820 taketh not H3808 NADV rest H7901 VQQ3MS in the night H3915 . This H2088 DPRO is also H1571 CONJ vanity H1892 NMS .
24 There is nothing H369 ADV better H2896 AMS for a man H120 , than that he should eat H7945 and drink H8354 , and that he should make his soul H7200 VQQ1MS good H2896 AMS in his labor H5999 . This H2090 also H1571 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS saw H7200 VQQ1MS , that H3588 CONJ it H1931 was from the hand H3027 M-GFS of God H430 D-EDP .
25 For H3588 CONJ who H4310 W-IPRO can eat H398 VQY3MS , or who H4310 W-IPRO else can hasten H2363 hereunto , more H2351 than H4480 PREP-1MS I ?
26 For H3588 CONJ God giveth H5414 VQQ3MS to a man H120 L-CMS that is good H2896 in his sight H6440 L-CMP wisdom H2451 NFS , and knowledge H1847 W-VQFC , and joy H8057 : but to the sinner H2398 he giveth H5414 VQQ3MS travail H6045 , to gather H622 and to heap up H3664 , that he may give H5414 L-VQFC to him that is good H2896 before H6440 L-CMP God H430 D-NAME-4MP . This H2088 DPRO also H1571 CONJ is vanity H1892 NMS and vexation H7469 of spirit H7307 NMS .
