21:002:014 The wise man’s eyes are in his head;
but the fool walketh in
darkness:
and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth
to
them all.
21:002:015 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 is vanity.
21:002:016 For there is no remembrance of the wise
more than of the fool
for
ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come
shall
all
be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the
fool.
21:002:017 Therefore I hated life; because the work
that is wrought under
the
sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and
vexation of
spirit.
21:002:018 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.
21:002:019 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise
man 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 is
also
vanity.
21:002:020 Therefore I went about to cause my heart
to despair of all the
labour
which I took under the sun.
21:002:021 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom,
and in
knowledge,
and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured
therein
shall he leave it for his portion. This also is
vanity
and
a great evil.
21:002:022 For what hath man of all his labour, and
of the vexation of
his
heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
21:002:023 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail
grief; yea, his
heart
taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
21:002:024 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.
This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
21:002:025 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
21:002:026 For God giveth to a man that is 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 him that is good
before
God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
21:003:001 To every thing there is a season, and a
time to every purpose
under
the heaven:
21:003:002 A time to be born, and a time to die; a
time to plant, and a
time
to pluck up that which is planted;
21:003:003 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time
to break down, and
a
time to build up;
21:003:004 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a
time to mourn, and a
time
to dance;
