V.1 I said 559-1 in mine heart, 3820 Go to 3212-3 now, I will prove 5254-17 thee with mirth, 8057 therefore enjoy 7200-3 pleasure: 2896 and, behold, this also [is] vanity. 1892

2:2 I said 559-1 of laughter, 7814 [It is] mad: 1984-26 and of mirth, 8057 What doeth 6213-6 it? 2090

2:3 I sought 8446-1 in mine heart 3820 to give 4900-2 myself 1320 unto wine, 3196 yet acquainting 5090-6 mine heart 3820 with wisdom; 2451 and to lay hold 270-2 on folly, 5531 till I might see 7200-4 what [was] that good 2896 for the sons 1121 of men, 120 which they should do 6213-4 under the heaven 8064 all 4557 the days 3117 of their life. 2416

2:4 I made me great 1431-52 works; 4639 I builded 1129-1 me houses; 1004 I planted 5193-1 me vineyards: 3754

2:5 I made 6213-1 me gardens 1593 and orchards, 6508 and I planted 5193-1 trees 6086 in them of all [kind of] fruits: 6529

2:6 I made 6213-1 me pools 1295 of water, 4325 to water 8248- 53 therewith the wood 3293 that bringeth forth 6779-6 trees: 6086

2:7 I got 7069-1 [me] servants 5650 and maidens, 8198 and had servants born 1121 in my house; 1004 also I had great 7235-53 possessions 4735 of great 1241 and small cattle 6629 above all that were in Jerusalem 3389 before 6440 me:

2:8 I gathered 3664-1 me also silver 3701 and gold, 2091 and the peculiar treasure 5459 of kings 4428 and of the provinces: 4082 I gat 6213-1 me men singers 7891-6 and women singers, 7891-6 and the delights 8588 of the sons 1121 of men, 120 [as] musical instruments, 7705 and that of all sorts. 7705

2:9 So I was great, 1431-1 and increased 3254-52 more than all that were before 6440 me in Jerusalem: 3389 also my wisdom 2451 remained 5975-1 with me.

2:10 And whatsoever mine eyes 5869 desired 7592-1 I kept 680- 1 not from them, I withheld 4513-1 not my heart 3820 from any joy; 8057 for my heart 3820 rejoiced 8056 in all my labour: 5999 and this was my portion 2506 of all my labour. 5999

2:11 Then I looked 6437-1 on all the works 4639 that my hands 3027 had wrought, 6213-1 and on the labour 5999 that I had laboured 5998-1 to do: 6213-2 and, behold, all [was] vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit, 7307 and [there was] no profit 3504 under the sun. 8121

2:12 And I turned 6437-1 myself to behold 7200-2 wisdom, 2451 and madness, 1947 and folly: 5531 for what [can] the man 120 [do] that cometh 935-4 after 310 the king? 4428 [even] that which hath been already 3528 done. 6213-1

2:13 Then I saw 7200-1 that 3426 wisdom 2451 excelleth 3504 folly, 5531 as far as light 216 excelleth 3504 darkness. 2822

2:14 The wise man's 2450 eyes 5869 [are] in his head; 7218 but the fool 3684 walketh 1980-6 in darkness: 2822 and I myself perceived 3045-1 also that one 259 event 4745 happeneth 7136-4 to them all.

2:15 Then said 559-1 I in my heart, 3820 As it happeneth 4745 to the fool, 3684 so it happeneth 7136-4 even to me; and why was I then 227 more 3148 wise? 2449-1 Then I said 1696-14 in my heart, 3820 that this also 1571 [is] vanity. 1892

2:16 For [there is] no remembrance 2146 of the wise 2450 more than 5973 of the fool 3684 for ever; 5769 seeing that which now 3528 [is] in the days 3117 to come 935-6 shall all be forgotten. 7911-8 And how dieth 4191-4 the wise 2450 [man]? as the fool. 3684

2:17 Therefore I hated 8130-1 life; 2416 because the work 4639 that is wrought 6213-8 under the sun 8121 [is] grievous 7451 unto me: for all [is] vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit. 7307

2:18 Yea, I hated 8130-1 all my labour 5999 which I had taken 6001 under the sun: 8121 because I should leave 3240-55 it unto the man 120 that shall be after 310 me.

2:19 And who knoweth 3045-6 whether he shall be a wise 2450 [man] or a fool? 5530 yet shall he have rule 7980-4 over all my labour 5999 wherein I have laboured, 5998-1 and wherein I have shewed myself wise 2449-1 under the sun. 8121 This [is] also vanity. 1892

2:20 Therefore I went about 5437-1 to cause my heart 3820 to despair 2976-15 of all the labour 5999 which I took 5998-1 under the sun. 8121

2:21 For there is 3426 a man 120 whose labour 5999 [is] in wisdom, 2451 and in knowledge, 1847 and in equity; 3788 yet to a man 120 that hath not laboured 5998-1 therein shall he leave 5414-4 it [for] his portion. 2506 This also [is] vanity 1892 and a great 7227 evil. 7451

2:22 For what hath 1933-6 man 120 of all his labour, 5999 and of the vexation 7475 of his heart, 3820 wherein 1931 he hath laboured 6001 under the sun? 8121

2:23 For all his days 3117 [are] sorrows, 4341 and his travail 6045 grief; 3708 yea, his heart 3820 taketh not rest 7901-1 in the night. 3915 This is also vanity. 1892

2:24 [There is] nothing better 2896 for a man, 120 [than] that he should eat 398-4 and drink, 8354-1 and [that] he should make his soul 5315 enjoy 7200-52 good 2896 in his labour. 5999 This 2090 also I saw, 7200-1 that it [was] from the hand 3027 of God. 430

2:25 For who can eat, 398-4 or who else can hasten 2363-4 [hereunto], more 2351 than I?

2:26 For [God] giveth 5414-1 to a man 120 that [is] good 2896 in his sight 6440 wisdom, 2451 and knowledge, 1847 and joy: 8057 but to the sinner 2398-6 he giveth 5414-1 travail, 6045 to gather 622-2 and to heap up, 3664-2 that he may give 5414- 2 to [him that is] good 2896 before 6440 God. 430 This also [is] vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit. 7307
