Ecclesiastes:2:17-26




jub@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ [Therefore] I hated life because [every] work that is wrought under the sun [was] grievous unto me; for all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ [Yea], I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun, which I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ And who knows whether he shall be a wise [man] or a fool, he who shall have rule over all my labour in which I have laboured and in which I have showed myself wise under the sun? This [is] also vanity.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ Therefore my heart began to despair again regarding all the labour which I took under the sun.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ That the man who worked with wisdom and with knowledge and with uprightness would have to leave his portion to a man that has not laboured therein. This also [is] vanity and a great evil.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what does man have of all his labour and of the vexation of his heart in which he has laboured under the sun?

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days [are only] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart does not take rest in the night. This is also vanity.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ [There is] nothing better for a man [than] that he should eat and drink and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. I also have seen that this [is] from the hand of God.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:25 @ For who can eat, or who can care for himself better than I?

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For God gives to the man that [is] good in [his] sight wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to the one that is good before [God]. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.:
