Ecclesiastes 2:11-13
11Thus I consideredH6437 allH3605 my activitiesH4639 whichH7945 my handsH3027 had doneH6213 and the laborH5999 whichH7945 I had 1exertedH6213, and beholdH2009 allH3605 was 23vanityH1892 and strivingH7469 after windH7307 and thereH369 was 4noH369 profitH3504 underH8478 the sunH8121.
12So I turnedH6437 to 5considerH7200 wisdomH2451, madnessH1947 and follyH5531; for whatH4100 will the manH120 do whoH7945 will comeH935 afterH310 the kingH4428 except 6whatH834 has alreadyH3528 been doneH6213? 13And I sawH7200 that 7wisdomH2451 excelsH3504 follyH5531 as lightH216 excelsH3504 darknessH2822.
