And I gave H5414 my heart H3820 to know H3045 wisdom, H2451 and to know H3045 madness H1947 and folly: H5531 I perceived H3045 that this H2088 also H1571 is vexation H7475 of spirit. H7307

I applied H5437 my heart H3820 to know, H3045 and to search, H8446 and to seek H1245 out wisdom, H2451 and the reason H2808 of things, and to know H3045 the wickedness H7562 of folly, H3689 even of foolishness H5531 and madness: H1947

All H3605 this H2088 have I seen, H7200 and applied H5414 my heart H3820 to every H3605 work H4639 that is done H6213 under H8478 the sun: H8121 there is a time H6256 wherein H834 one man H120 rules H7980 over another to his own hurt. H7451

When H834 I applied H5414 my heart H3820 to know H3045 wisdom, H2451 and to see H7200 the business H6045 that is done H6213 on the earth: H776 (for also H1571 there is that neither H1571 H369 day H3117 nor night H3915 sees H7200 sleep H8142 with his eyes: H5869 )

Then I beheld H7200 all H3605 the work H4639 of God, H430 that a man H120 cannot H3808 H3201 find H4672 out the work H4639 that is done H6213 under H8478 the sun: H8121 because H834 though H834 a man H120 labor H5998 to seek H1245 it out, yet he shall not find H4672 it; yes H1571 farther; though H518 a wise H2450 man think H559 to know H3045 it, yet shall he not be able H3201 to find H4672 it.

The works H4639 of the LORD H3068 are great, H1419 sought H1875 out of all H3605 them that have pleasure H2656 therein.

So that you incline H7181 your ear H241 to wisdom, H2451 and apply H5186 your heart H3820 to understanding; H8394

If H518 you seek H1245 her as silver, H3701 and search H2664 for her as for hid H4301 treasures; H4301

Wisdom H2451 is the principal H7225 thing; therefore get H7069 wisdom: H2451 and with all H3605 your getting H7069 get H7069 understanding. H998

Through desire H8378 a man, having separated H6504 himself, seeks H1245 and intermeddles H1566 with all H3605 wisdom. H8454

The heart H3820 of the prudent H995 gets H7069 knowledge; H1847 and the ear H241 of the wise H2450 seeks H1245 knowledge. H1847

My son, H1121 give H5414 me your heart, H3820 and let your eyes H5869 observe H5341 my ways. H1870

Meditate G3191 on these G5023 things; give G2468 yourself wholly G1510 G1722 to them; that your profiting G4297 may appear G5318 G5600 to all. G3956

I have seen H7200 the travail, H6045 which H834 God H430 has given H5414 to the sons H1121 of men H120 to be exercised H6031 in it.

Again, I considered H7200 all H3605 travail, H5999 and every H3605 right H3788 work, H4639 that for this H1931 a man H376 is envied H7068 of his neighbor. H7453 This H2088 is also H1571 vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307

And further, H3148 by these, H1992 my son, H1121 be admonished: H2094 of making H6213 many H7235 books H5612 there is no H369 end; H7093 and much H7235 study H3854 is a weariness H3024 of the flesh. H1320

In the sweat H2188 of your face H639 shall you eat H398 bread, H3899 till H5704 you return H7725 to the ground; H127 for out of it were you taken: H3947 for dust H6083 you are, and to dust H6083 shall you return. H7725
