as5973 the fool.3684 17 Therefore I hated8130 853 life;2416 because3588 the work4639 that is wrought7945 6213 under8478 the sun8121 is grievous7451 unto5921 me: for3588 all3605 is vanity1892 and vexation7469 of spirit.7307 18 Yea, I589 hated8130 853 all3605 my labor5999 which I7945 589 had taken6001 under8478 the sun:8121 because I should leave7945 5117 it unto the man120 that shall be7945 1961 after310 me. 19 And who4310 knoweth3045 whether he shall be1961 a wise2450 man or176 a fool?5530 yet shall he have rule7980 over all3605 my labor5999 wherein I have labored,7945 5998 and wherein I have showed myself wise7945 2449 under8478 the sun.8121 This2088 is also1571 vanity.1892 20 Therefore I589 went about5437 to cause 853 my heart3820 to despair2976 of5921 all3605 the labor5999 which I took7945 5998 under8478 the sun.8121 21 For3588 there is3426 a man120 whose labor7945 5999 is in wisdom,2451 and in knowledge,1847 and in equity;3788 yet to a man120 that hath not7945 3808 labored5998 therein shall he leave5414 it for his portion.2506 This2088 also1571 is vanity1892 and a great7227 evil.7451 22 For3588 what4100 hath1933 man120 of all3605 his labor,5999 and of the vexation7475 of his heart,3820 wherein he7945 1931 hath labored6001 under8478 the sun?8121 23 For3588 all3605 his days3117 are sorrows,4341 and his travail6045 grief;3708 yea,1571 his heart3820 taketh not3808 rest7901 in the night.3915 This2088 is also1571 vanity.1892 24 There is nothing369 better2896 for a man,120 than that he should eat7945 398 and drink,8354 and that he should make his soul7200 853 5315 good2896 in his labor.5999 This2090 also1571 I589 saw,7200 that3588 it1931 was from the hand4480 3027 of God.430 25 For3588 who4310 can eat,398 or who4310 else can hasten2363 hereunto, more2351 than4480 I? 26 For3588 God giveth5414 to a man120 that is good7945 2896 in his sight6440 wisdom,2451 and knowledge,1847 and joy:8057 but to the sinner2398 he giveth5414 travail,6045 to gather622 and to heap up,3664 that he may give5414 to him that is good2896 before6440 God.430 This2088 also1571 is vanity1892 and vexation7469 of spirit.7307 |
