2 : 1 Isaid in my heart,Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.But behold, this also was vanity.
|
|
2 : 2 Isaid of laughter,It is mad,and of pleasure,What use is it?
|
|
2 : 3 Isearched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine&emdash;my heart still guiding me with wisdom&emdash;and how to lay hold onfolly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life.
|
|
2 : 4 I made great works. Ibuilt houses and plantedvineyards for myself.
|
|
2 : 5 I made myselfgardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees.
|
|
2 : 6 I made myself pools from which to water the forest of growing trees.
|
|
2 : 7 I bought male and female slaves, and hadslaves who were born in my house. I had also great possessions ofherds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.
|
|
2 : 8 I also gathered for myself silver andgold and the treasure ofkings andprovinces. I gotsingers, both men and women, and manyconcubines,the delight of the sons of man.
|
|
2 : 9 So I became great andsurpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also mywisdom remained with me.
|
|
2 : 10 And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heartfound pleasure in all my toil, and this was myreward for all my toil.
|
|
2 : 11 Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all wasvanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothingto be gained under the sun.
|
|
2 : 12 So I turned to considerwisdom and madness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king? Onlywhat has already been done.
|
|
2 : 13 Then I saw that there is more gain in wisdom than in folly, as there is more gain in light than in darkness.
|
|
2 : 14 The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that thesame event happens to all of them.
|
|
2 : 15 Then I said in my heart,What happens to the fool will happen to me also. Why then have I been so very wise?And I said in my heart that this also is vanity.
|
|
2 : 16 For of the wise as of the fool there isno enduring remembrance, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten.How the wise dies just like the fool!
|
|
2 : 17 So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me, forall is vanity and a striving after wind.
|
|
2 : 18 I hatedall my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I mustleave it to the man who will come after me,
|
|
2 : 19 and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.
|
|
2 : 20 So Iturned about and gave my heart up to despairover all the toil of my labors under the sun,
|
|
2 : 21 because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.
|
|
2 : 22 What has a man fromall the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun?
|
|
2 : 23 Forall his days are full of sorrow, and hiswork is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.
|
|
2 : 24 There is nothing better for a person than that he shouldeat and drink and find enjoymentin his toil. This also, I saw, isfrom the hand of God,
|
|
2 : 25 for apart from himwho can eat or who can have enjoyment?
|
|
2 : 26 For to the one who pleases himGod has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has giventhe business of gathering and collecting,only to give to one who pleases God.This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
