What profith3504 hath he that workethh6213h8802 in that whereinh834 he labourethh6001?

10

I have seenh7200h8804 the travailh6045, which Godh430 hath givenh5414h8804 to the sonsh1121 of menh120 to be exercisedh6031h8800 in it.

11

He hath madeh6213h8804 every thing beautifulh3303 in his timeh6256: also he hath seth5414h8804 the worldh5769 in their hearth3820, so thath1097 no manh120 can find outh4672h8799 the workh4639 that Godh430 makethh6213h8804 from the beginningh7218 to the endh5490.

12

I knowh3045h8804 that there is no goodh2896 in them, but for a man to rejoiceh8055h8800, and to doh6213h8800 goodh2896 in his lifeh2416.

13

And also that every manh120 should eath398h8799 and drinkh8354h8804, and enjoyh7200h8804 the goodh2896 of all his labourh5999, it is the gifth4991 of Godh430.

14

I knowh3045h8804 that, whatsoever Godh430 doethh6213h8799, it shall be for everh5769: nothingh369 can be puth3254h8687 to it, nor any thing takenh1639h8800 from it: and Godh430 doethh6213h8804 it , that men should fearh3372h8799 beforeh6440 him.

15

That which hath been is nowh3528; and that which is to be hath alreadyh3528 been; and Godh430 requirethh1245h8762 that which is pasth7291h8737. that which is past: Heb. that which is driven away

16

And moreover I sawh7200h8804 under the sunh8121 the placeh4725 of judgmenth4941, that wickednessh7562 was there; and the placeh4725 of righteousnessh6664, that iniquityh7562 was there.

17

I saidh559h8804 in mine hearth3820, Godh430 shall judgeh8199h8799 the righteoush6662 and the wickedh7563: for there is a timeh6256 there for every purposeh2656 and for every workh4639.

18

I saidh559h8804 in mine hearth3820 concerning the estateh1700 of the sonsh1121 of menh120, that Godh430 might manifesth1305h8800 them, and that they might seeh7200h8800 that theyh1992 themselves are beastsh929. that God...: or, that they might clear God, and see, etc

19

For that which befallethh4745 the sonsh1121 of menh120 befallethh4745 beastsh929; even one thingh259 befallethh4745 them: as the one diethh4194, so diethh4194 the otherh2088; yea, they have all oneh259 breathh7307; so that a manh120 hath no preeminenceh4195 above a beasth929: for all is vanityh1892.

20

All goh1980h8802 unto oneh259 placeh4725; all are of the dusth6083, and all turnh7725 to dusth6083 againh7725h8804.

21

Who knowethh3045h8802 the spirith7307 of manh1121h120 that goethh5927h8802 upwardh4605, and the spirith7307 of the beasth929 that goethh3381h8802 downwardh4295 to the earthh776? of man: Heb. of the sons of man
goeth upward: Heb. is ascending, etc

22

Wherefore I perceiveh7200h8804 that there is nothing betterh2896, than that a manh120 should rejoiceh8055h8799 in his own worksh4639; for that is his portionh2506: for who shall bringh935h8686 him to seeh7200h8800 what shall be afterh310 him?
