Ecclesiastes 5:9-20

9MoreoverH1571 the profit of the earth is for allH1571: the king himselfH3808 is served by the field. 10He that loveth silver shall notH518 be satisfied with silver; norH518 he that loveth abundanceH7235 with increaseH7235: this also is vanity. 11When goods increaseH7235, they are increasedH7235 that eatH398 them: and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, saving the beholding of them with his eyes? 12The sleep of a labouring manH1167 is sweet, whetherH7200 he eat little or much: but the fulness of the richH6239 will not suffer him to sleep. 13There is a grievous evilH7451, whichH1931 I have seen underH3027 the sun, namely, richesH6239 kept by the owner thereof to his hurt: 14and thoseH834 riches perish by evil adventure; and ifH834 he hath begotten a son, there is nothingH3808 in his handH3027. 15As he cameH935 forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he goH935 again as he cameH935, and shall takeH935 nothingH3605 for his labour, whichH7307 he may carryH935 awayH3605 in his hand. 16And this also is a grievous evil, that in allH3605 points as he came, soH1571 shall he go: and whatH1571 profit hath he that he laboureth for the wind? 17AllH3605 his daysH3117 also he eateth in darkness, and he is sore vexed and hath sickness and wrath. 18Behold, that whichH834 I have seen to be good and to be comely is for one to eatH398 and to drink, and to enjoy good in allH3605 his labour, whereinH834 he laboureth underH4480 the sun, allH3605 the days of his life whichH834 GodH430 hath givenH5414 him: for this is his portionH2506. 19EveryH3117 man also to whom GodH430 hath given riches and wealthH3808, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to takeH2142 his portion, and to rejoiceH8057 in his labour; this is the gift of GodH430. 20For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
