["I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also <FI>is<Fi> vanity.","I said of laughter, <FI>It is<Fi> mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?","I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what <FI>was<Fi> that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.<RF>to give…: Heb. to draw my flesh with wine<Rf><RF>all…: Heb. the number of the days of their life<Rf>","I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:","I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all <FI>kind of<Fi> fruits:","I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:","I got <FI>me<Fi> servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:<RF>servants born…: Heb. sons of my house<Rf>","I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, <FI>as<Fi> musical instruments, and that of all sorts.<RF>musical…: Heb. musical instrument and instruments<Rf>","So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.","And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.","Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all <FI>was<Fi> vanity and vexation of spirit, and <FI>there was<Fi> no profit under the sun.<CM>","And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what <FI>can<Fi> the man <FI>do<Fi> that cometh after the king? <FI>even<Fi> that which hath been already done.<RF>even…: or, in those things which have been already done<Rf>","Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.<RF>that…: Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc<Rf>","The wise man's eyes <FI>are<Fi> in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.","Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also <FI>is<Fi> vanity.<RF>happeneth even…: Heb. happeneth to me, even to me<Rf>","For <FI>there is<Fi> no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now <FI>is<Fi> in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise <FI>man<Fi>? as the fool.<CM>","Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun <FI>is<Fi> grievous unto me: for all <FI>is<Fi> vanity and vexation of spirit.","Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.<RF>taken: Heb. laboured<Rf>","And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise <FI>man<Fi> or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This <FI>is<Fi> also vanity.","Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.","For there is a man whose labour <FI>is<Fi> in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it <FI>for<Fi> his portion. This also <FI>is<Fi> vanity and a great evil.<RF>leave: Heb. give<Rf>","For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?","For all his days <FI>are<Fi> sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.","<FI>There is<Fi> nothing better for a man, <FI>than<Fi> that he should eat and drink, and <FI>that<Fi> he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it <FI>was<Fi> from the hand of God.<RF>should make…: or, delight his senses<Rf>","For who can eat, or who else can hasten <FI>hereunto<Fi>, more than I?","For <FI>God<Fi> giveth to a man that <FI>is<Fi> good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to <FI>him that is<Fi> good before God. This also <FI>is<Fi> vanity and vexation of spirit.<RF>in his…: Heb. before him<Rf><CM>"]
