And I gave H5414 my heart H3820 to seek H1875 and search H8446 out by wisdom H2451 concerning H5921 all H3605 things that are done H6213 under H8478 heaven: H8064 this H1931 sore H7451 travail H6045 has God H430 given H5414 to the sons H1121 of man H120 to be exercised H6031 therewith.

I sought H8446 in my heart H3820 to give H4900 myself to wine, H3196 yet acquainting H5090 my heart H3820 with wisdom; H2451 and to lay hold H270 on folly, H5531 till H5704 I might see H7200 what H335 was that good H2896 for the sons H1121 of men, H120 which H834 they should do H6213 under H8478 the heaven H8064 all H4557 the days H3117 of their life. H2416

And I turned H6437 myself to behold H7200 wisdom, H2451 and madness, H1947 and folly: H5531 for what H4100 can the man H120 do that comes after H310 the king? H4428 even H853 that which H834 has been already H3528 done. H6213

All H3605 this H2090 have I proved H5254 by wisdom: H2451 I said, H559 I will be wise; H2449 but it was far H7350 from me.

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

Prove G1381 all G3956 things; hold G2722 fast G2722 that which G3588 is good. G2570

And whatever H3605 H834 my eyes H5869 desired H7592 I kept H680 not from them, I withheld H4513 not my heart H3820 from any H3605 joy; H8057 for my heart H3820 rejoiced H8055 in all H3605 my labor: H5999 and this H2088 was my portion H2506 of all H3605 my labor. H5999

Then I looked H6437 on all H3605 the works H4639 that my hands H3027 had worked, H6213 and on the labor H5999 that I had labored H5998 to do: H6213 and, behold, H2009 all H3605 was vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit, H7307 and there was no H369 profit H3504 under H8478 the sun. H8121
