Ecclesiastes 6

1 The vanity of riches without use. 3 Of children, 6 and old age without riches. 9 The vanity of sight and wandering desires. 11 The conclusion of vanities.

 6:1 ¶ There is 3426 an evil 7451 which x834 I have seen 7200 z8804 under x8478 the sun, 8121 and it x1931 [is] common 7227 among x5921 men: 120

 6:2 A man 376 to whom x834 God 430 hath given 5414 z8799 riches, 6239 wealth, 5233 and honour, 3519 so that he wanteth 2638 nothing x369 for his soul 5315 of all x4480 x3605 that x834 he desireth, 183 z8691 yet God 430 giveth him not power 7980 z8686 x3808 to eat 398 z8800 thereof, x4480 but x3588 a stranger 376 5237 eateth 398 z8799 it: this x2088 [is] vanity, 1892 and it x1931 [is] an evil 7451 disease. 2483

 6:3 ¶ If x518 a man 376 beget 3205 z8686 an hundred 3967 [children], and live 2421 z8799 many 7227 years, 8141 so that the days 3117 of his years 8141 be x7945 x1961 many, 7227 and his soul 5315 be not x3808 filled 7646 z8799 with x4480 good, 2896 and also x1571 [that] he have x1961 no x3808 burial; 6900 I say, 559 z8804 [that] an untimely birth 5309 [is] better 2896 than x4480 he.

 6:4 For x3588 he cometh 935 z8804 in with vanity, 1892 and departeth y3212 z8799 x1980 in darkness, 2822 and his name 8034 shall be covered 3680 z8792 with darkness. 2822

 6:5 Moreover x1571 he hath not x3808 seen 7200 z8804 the sun, 8121 nor x3808 known 3045 z8804 [any thing]: this 2088 hath more rest 5183 than y2088 the other. x4480 x2088

 6:6 ¶ Yea, x432 though y432 he live 2421 z8804 a thousand 505 years 8141 twice 6471 [told], yet hath he seen 7200 z8804 no x3808 good: 2896 do not x3808 all x3605 go 1980 z8802 to x413 one 259 place? 4725

 6:7 All x3605 the labour 5999 of man 120 [is] for his mouth, 6310 and yet x1571 the appetite 5315 is not x3808 filled. 4390 z8735

 6:8 For x3588 what x4100 hath the wise 2450 more 3148 than x4480 the fool? 3684 what x4100 hath the poor, 6041 that knoweth 3045 z8802 to walk 1980 z8800 before x5048 the living? 2416

 6:9 ¶ Better 2896 [is] the sight 4758 of the eyes 5869 than the wandering 1980 z8800 x4480 of the desire: 5315 this x2088 [is] also x1571 vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit. 7307

 6:10 That x4100 which hath been x7945 x1961 is named 7121 8034 z8738 already, 3528 and it is known 3045 z8737 that x834 it x1931 [is] man: 120 neither x3808 may 3201 z8799 he contend 1777 z8800 with x5973 him that is mightier 8623 x7945 than x4480 he.

 6:11 ¶ Seeing x3588 there be 3426 many 7235 z8687 things 1697 that increase 7235 z8688 vanity, 1892 what x4100 [is] man 120 the better? 3148

 6:12 For x3588 who x4310 knoweth 3045 z8802 what x4100 [is] good 2896 for man 120 in [this] life, 2416 all 4557 the days 3117 of his vain 1892 life 2416 which he spendeth 6213 z8799 as a shadow? 6738 for x834 who x4310 can tell 5046 z8686 a man 120 what x4100 shall be x1961 after 310 him under x8478 the sun? 8121
