Ecclesiastes:2:17-26
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ Therefore I hated life, for, a vexation unto me, was the work which was done under the sun, for, all, was vanity, and a feeding on wind.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ Therefore hated, I, all my toil, wherein I was toiling, under the sun, in that I should leave it for the man who should come after me;
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ and who could know whether a, wise man, he would be or a foolish, and yet he would lord it over all my toil, wherein I had toiled and wherein I had acted wisely, under the sun, even this, was vanity.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ Then resolved I, to give my heart over to despair, concerning all the toil, wherein I had toiled, under the sun.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ For here is a man, whose toil hath been with wisdom and with knowledge and with skill, yet, to a man who hath not toiled therein, shall he leave it as his portion, even this, was vanity and a great vexation.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what hath the man for all his toil, and for the striving of his heart, wherein, he himself, toiled under the sun?
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For, all his days, are pains, and, vexatious, is his employment, even in the night, his heart lieth not down, even this, was, vanity.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ There was nothing more blessed for Man that he should eat and drink, and see his desireth for blessedness in his toil, even this, saw, I myself, that, from the hand of God, it was.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:25 @ For who could eat and who could enjoy, so well as I?
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For, to a man who is good before him, hath he given wisdom and knowledge and gladness, whereas, to the sinner, he hath given employment, to gather and heap up, to give to one who is good before God, even this, was vanity, and a feeding on wind.
