 2:7 I got 7069 z8804 me seruants 5650 and maydens, 8198 and had x1961 seruants borne 1121 in my house; 1004 also x1571 I had x1961 great 7235 z8687 possessions 4735 of great 1241 and small cattell, 6629 aboue all x4480 x3605 that were x7945 x1961 in Ierusalem 3389 before 6440 me.

 2:8 I gathered 3664 z8804 me also x1571 silver 3701 and gold, 2091 and the peculiar treasure 5459 of kings 4428 and of the provinces: 4082 I gat 6213 z8804 me men singers 7891 z8802 and women singers, 7891 z8802 and the delights 8588 of the sons 1121 of men, 120 [as] musical instruments, 7705 and that of all sorts.

 2:9 So I was great, 1431 z8804 and increased y3254 z8689 more x3254 then all x4480 x3605 that were x7945 x1961 before 6440 mee in Ierusalem; 3389 also x637 my wisedome 2451 remained 5975 z8804 with me.

 2:9 So I was great, 1431 z8804 and increased y3254 z8689 more x3254 than all x4480 x3605 that were x7945 x1961 before 6440 me in Jerusalem: 3389 also x637 my wisdom 2451 remained 5975 z8804 with me.

 2:10 And whatsoeuer x3605 x834 mine eyes 5869 desired, 7592 z8804 I kept 680 z8804 not x3808 from x4480 them; I withheld 4513 z8804 not x3808 x853 my heart 3820 from any x4480 x3605 ioy: 8057 for x3588 my heart 3820 reioyced 8056 in all x4480 x3605 my labour; 5999 and this x2088 was x1961 my portion 2506 of all x4480 x3605 my labour. 5999

 2:10 And whatsoever x3605 x834 mine eyes 5869 desired 7592 z8804 I kept 680 z8804 not x3808 from x4480 them, I withheld 4513 z8804 not x3808 x853 my heart 3820 from any x4480 x3605 joy; 8057 for x3588 my heart 3820 rejoiced 8056 in all x4480 x3605 my labour: 5999 and this x2088 was x1961 my portion 2506 of all x4480 x3605 my labour. 5999

 2:11 Then I x589 looked 6437 z8804 on all x3605 the workes 4639 that my hands y3027 had wrought, 6213 z8804 x7945 x3027 and on the labour 5999 that I had laboured 5998 z8804 x7945 to doe: 6213 z8800 and behold, x2009 all x3605 [was] vanitie, 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit, 7307 and [there was] no x369 profit 3504 vnder x8478 the Sunne. 8121

 2:11 Then I x589 looked 6437 z8804 on all x3605 the works 4639 that my hands y3027 had wrought, 6213 z8804 x7945 x3027 and on the labour 5999 that I had laboured 5998 z8804 x7945 to do: 6213 z8800 and, behold, x2009 all x3605 [was] vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit, 7307 and [there was] no x369 profit 3504 under x8478 the sun. 8121

 2:12 ¶ And I x589 turned 6437 z8804 my selfe to behold 7200 z8800 wisedome, 2451 and madnesse 1947 and folly: 5531 for x3588 what x4100 can the man 120 [doe], that commeth 935 z8799 x7945 after 310 the king? 4428 [euen] x853 that which x834 hath bene already 3528 done. 6213 z8804

 2:12 ¶ And I x589 turned 6437 z8804 myself to behold 7200 z8800 wisdom, 2451 and madness, 1947 and folly: 5531 for x3588 what x4100 [can] the man 120 [do] that cometh 935 z8799 x7945 after 310 the king? 4428 [even] x853 that which x834 hath been already 3528 done. 6213 z8804

 2:13 Then I x589 saw 7200 z8804 that 3426 x7945 wisedome 2451 excelleth 3504 folly, 5531 x4480 as farre as light 216 excelleth 3504 darkenesse. 2822 x4480

 2:13 Then I x589 saw 7200 z8804 that 3426 x7945 wisdom 2451 excelleth 3504 folly, 5531 x4480 as far as light 216 excelleth 3504 darkness. 2822 x4480

 2:14 The wise mans 2450 eyes 5869 [are] in his head, 7218 but the foole 3684 walketh 1980 z8802 in darknes: 2822 and I my selfe x589 perceiued 3045 z8804 also x1571 that one y259 euent 4745 x7945 x259 happeneth 7136 z8799 to x854 them all. x3605

 2:14 The wise man's 2450 eyes 5869 [are] in his head; 7218 but the fool 3684 walketh 1980 z8802 in darkness: 2822 and I myself x589 perceived 3045 z8804 also x1571 that one y259 event 4745 x7945 x259 happeneth 7136 z8799 to x854 them all. x3605

 2:15 Then y227 said 559 z8804 I x589 in my heart, 3820 As it happeneth 4745 to the foole, 3684 so it happeneth 7136 z8799 euen x1571 to me, y1571 and why x4100 was I x589 then x227 more 3148 wise? 2449 z8804 then I said 1696 z8765 in my heart, 3820 That this x2088 also x7945 x1571 is vanitie. 1892

 2:15 Then y227 said 559 z8804 I x589 in my heart, 3820 As it happeneth 4745 to the fool, 3684 so it happeneth 7136 z8799 even x1571 to me; y1571 and why x4100 was I x589 then x227 more 3148 wise? 2449 z8804 Then I said 1696 z8765 in my heart, 3820 that this x2088 also x7945 x1571 [is] vanity. 1892

 2:16 For x3588 [there is] no x369 remembrance 2146 of the wise, 2450 more then 5973 of the foole 3684 for euer; 5769 seeing that which now 3528 x7945 [is], in the dayes 3117 to come 935 z8802 shall x3605 be forgotten; 7911 z8738 and how x349 dieth 4191 z8799 the wise 2450 man? as x5973 the foole. 3684

 2:16 For x3588 [there is] no x369 remembrance 2146 of the wise 2450 more than 5973 of the fool 3684 for ever; 5769 seeing that which now 3528 x7945 [is] in the days 3117 to come 935 z8802 shall all x3605 be forgotten. 7911 z8738 And how x349 dieth 4191 z8799 the wise 2450 [man]? as x5973 the fool. 3684

 2:17 Therefore I hated 8130 z8804 x853 life, 2416 because x3588 the worke 4639 that is wrought 6213 z8738 x7945 vnder x8478 the Sunne 8121 [is] grieuous 7451 vnto x5921 mee: for x3588 all x3605 [is] vanitie, 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit. 7307

 2:17 Therefore I hated 8130 z8804 x853 life; 2416 because x3588 the work 4639 that is wrought 6213 z8738 x7945 under x8478 the sun 8121 [is] grievous 7451 unto x5921 me: for x3588 all x3605 [is] vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit. 7307

 2:18 ¶ Yea I x589 hated 8130 z8804 x853 all x3605 my labour 5999 which I x7945 x589 had taken 6001 vnder x8478 the Sunne: 8121 because I should leaue y3240 z8686 x7945 x5117 it vnto the man 120 that shalbe x7945 x1961 after 310 mee.

 2:18 ¶ Yea, I x589 hated 8130 z8804 x853 all x3605 my labour 5999 which I x7945 x589 had taken 6001 under x8478 the sun: 8121 because I should leave y3240 z8686 x7945 x5117 it unto the man 120 that shall be x7945 x1961 after 310 me.

 2:19 And who x4310 knoweth 3045 z8802 whether he shall be x1961 a wise 2450 man or x176 a foole? 5530 yet shall he haue rule 7980 z8799 ouer all x3605 my labour, 5999 wherein I haue laboured, 5998 z8804 x7945 and wherein I haue shewed my selfe wise 2449 z8804 x7945 vnder x8478 the Sunne. 8121 This x2088 [is] also x1571 vanitie. 1892

 2:19 And who x4310 knoweth 3045 z8802 whether he shall be x1961 a wise 2450 [man] or x176 a fool? 5530 yet shall he have rule 7980 z8799 over all x3605 my labour 5999 wherein I have laboured, 5998 z8804 x7945 and wherein I have shewed myself wise 2449 z8804 x7945 under x8478 the sun. 8121 This x2088 [is] also x1571 vanity. 1892

 2:20 Therefore I x589 went about 5437 z8804 to cause y2976 z0 x853 my heart 3820 to despaire 2976 z8763 of x5921 all x3605 the labour 5999 which I tooke 5998 z8804 x7945 vnder x8478 the Sunne. 8121

 2:20 Therefore I x589 went about 5437 z8804 to cause y2976 z0 x853 my heart 3820 to despair 2976 z8763 of x5921 all x3605 the labour 5999 which I took 5998 z8804 x7945 under x8478 the sun. 8121

 2:21 For x3588 there is 3426 a man 120 whose labour 5999 x7945 [is] in wisedome 2451 and in knowledge, 1847 and in equitie: 3788 yet to a man 120 that hath not x7945 x3808 laboured 5998 z8804 therein, shall hee leaue 5414 z8799 it [for] his portion; 2506 This x2088 also x1571 [is] vanitie, 1892 and a great 7227 euill. 7451

 2:21 For x3588 there is 3426 a man 120 whose labour 5999 x7945 [is] in wisdom, 2451 and in knowledge, 1847 and in equity; 3788 yet to a man 120 that hath not x7945 x3808 laboured 5998 z8804 therein shall he leave 5414 z8799 it [for] his portion. 2506 This x2088 also x1571 [is] vanity 1892 and a great 7227 evil. 7451

 2:22 For x3588 what x4100 hath 1933 z8802 man 120 of all x3605 his labour, 5999 and of the vexation 7475 of his heart 3820 wherein y1931 hee x7945 x1931 hath laboured 6001 vnder x8478 the Sunne? 8121

 2:22 For x3588 what x4100 hath 1933 z8802 man 120 of all x3605 his labour, 5999 and of the vexation 7475 of his heart, 3820 wherein y1931 he x7945 x1931 hath laboured 6001 under x8478 the sun? 8121

 2:23 For x3588 all x3605 his dayes 3117 [are] sorrowes, 4341 and his traueile, 6045 griefe; 3708 yea x1571 his heart 3820 taketh not x3808 rest 7901 z8804 in the night. 3915 This x2088 is also x1571 vanitie. 1892

 2:23 For x3588 all x3605 his days 3117 [are] sorrows, 4341 and his travail 6045 grief; 3708 yea, x1571 his heart 3820 taketh not x3808 rest 7901 z8804 in the night. 3915 This x2088 is also x1571 vanity. 1892

 2:24 ¶ [There is] nothing x369 better 2896 for a man, 120 [then] that he should eat 398 z8799 x7945 and drinke, 8354 z8804 and that he should make his soule 5315 x7200 x853 enioy y7200 z8689 good 2896 in his labour. 5999 This 2090 also x1571 I x589 saw, 7200 z8804 that x3588 it x1931 [was] from the hand 3027 x4480 of God. 430

 2:24 ¶ [There is] nothing x369 better 2896 for a man, 120 [than] that he should eat 398 z8799 x7945 and drink, 8354 z8804 and [that] he should make his soul 5315 x7200 x853 enjoy y7200 z8689 good 2896 in his labour. 5999 This 2090 also x1571 I x589 saw, 7200 z8804 that x3588 it x1931 [was] from the hand 3027 x4480 of God. 430

 2:25 For x3588 who x4310 can eate? 398 z8799 or who x4310 else can hasten 2363 z8799 [hereunto] more 2351 then x4480 I?

 2:25 For x3588 who x4310 can eat, 398 z8799 or who x4310 else can hasten 2363 z8799 [hereunto], more 2351 than x4480 I?

 2:26 For x3588 [God] giueth 5414 z8804 to a man 120 that [is] good 2896 x7945 in his sight, 6440 wisedome, 2451 and knowledge, 1847 and ioy: 8057 but to the sinner 2398 z8802 hee giueth 5414 z8804 traueile, 6045 to gather 622 z8800 and to heape vp 3664 z8800 that he may giue 5414 z8800 to him that is good 2896 before 6440 God: 430 This x2088 also x1571 [is] vanitie 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit. 7307

 2:26 For x3588 [God] giveth 5414 z8804 to a man 120 that [is] good 2896 x7945 in his sight 6440 wisdom, 2451 and knowledge, 1847 and joy: 8057 but to the sinner 2398 z8802 he giveth 5414 z8804 travail, 6045 to gather 622 z8800 and to heap up, 3664 z8800 that he may give 5414 z8800 to [him that is] good 2896 before 6440 God. 430 This x2088 also x1571 [is] vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit. 7307
