There isH3426 an evilH7451 which I have seenH7200 under the sunH8121, and it is commonH7227 among menH120:
A manH376 to whom GodH430 hath givenH5414 richesH6239, wealthH5233, and honourH3519, so that he wantethH2638 nothing for his soulH5315 of all that he desirethH183, yet GodH430 giveth him not powerH7980 to eatH398 thereof, but a strangerH376+H5237 eatethH398 it: this is vanityH1892, and it is an evilH7451 diseaseH2483.
If a manH376 begetH3205 an hundredH3967 children, and liveH2421 manyH7227 yearsH8141, so that the daysH3117 of his yearsH8141 be manyH7227, and his soulH5315 be not filledH7646 with goodH2896, and also that he have no burialH6900; I sayH559, that an untimely birthH5309 is betterH2896 than he.
For he comethH935 in with vanityH1892, and departethH3212 in darknessH2822, and his nameH8034 shall be coveredH3680 with darknessH2822.
Moreover he hath not seenH7200 the sunH8121, nor knownH3045 any thing: thisH2088 hath more restH5183 thanH2088 the other.
Yea, thoughH432 he liveH2421 a thousandH505 yearsH8141 twiceH6471 told, yet hath he seenH7200 no goodH2896: do not all goH1980 to oneH259 placeH4725?
All the labourH5999 of manH120 is for his mouthH6310, and yet the appetiteH5315 is not filledH4390. {appetite: Heb. soul}
For what hath the wiseH2450 moreH3148 than the foolH3684? what hath the poorH6041, that knowethH3045 to walkH1980 before the livingH2416?
BetterH2896 is the sightH4758 of the eyesH5869 than the wanderingH1980 of the desireH5315: this is also vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. {than…: Heb. than the walking of the soul}
That which hath been is namedH7121+H8034 alreadyH3528, and it is knownH3045 that it is manH120: neither mayH3201 he contendH1777 with him that is mightierH8623 than he.
Seeing there beH3426 manyH7235 thingsH1697 that increaseH7235 vanityH1892, what is manH120 the betterH3148?
For who knowethH3045 what is goodH2896 for manH120 in this lifeH2416, allH4557 the daysH3117 of his vainH1892 lifeH2416 which he spendethH6213 as a shadowH6738? for who can tellH5046 a manH120 what shall be afterH310 him under the sunH8121? {all…: Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity}

There be manyH7227 that sayH559, Who will shewH7200 us any goodH2896? LORDH3068, lift thou upH5375 the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440 upon us.
And saidH559, NakedH6174 came I outH3318 of my mother'sH517 wombH990, and nakedH6174 shall I returnH7725 thither: the LORDH3068 gaveH5414, and the LORDH3068 hath taken awayH3947; blessedH1288 be the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
They shall not buildH1129, and anotherH312 inhabitH3427; they shall not plantH5193, and anotherH312 eatH398: for as the daysH3117 of a treeH6086 are the daysH3117 of my peopleH5971, and mine electH972 shall long enjoyH1086 the workH4639 of their handsH3027. {shall long…: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out}
