Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 I said in my heart, Go to now, I will prove you with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H559 I said H3820 in my heart, H3212 Go H4994 to now, H5254 I will prove H8057 you with mirth, H7200 therefore enjoy H2896 pleasure: H2009 and, behold, H1931 this H1571 also H1892 is vanity.

2 H559 I said H7814 of laughter, H1984 It is mad: H8057 and of mirth, H4100 What H6213 does it?

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

4 H1431 I made me great H4639 works; H1129 I built H1004 me houses; H5193 I planted H3754 me vineyards:

5 H6213 I made H1593 me gardens H6508 and orchards, H5193 and I planted H6086 trees H3605 in them of all H6529 kind of fruits:

6 H6213 I made H1295 me pools H4325 of water, H8248 to water H3293 therewith the wood H6779 that brings H6779 forth H6086 trees:

7 H7069 I got H5650 me servants H8198 and maidens, H1961 and had H1121 servants born H1004 in my house; H1571 also H1961 I had H7235 great H4735 possessions H1241 of great H4735 and small cattle H3605 above all H3389 that were in Jerusalem H6440 before me:

8 H3664 I gathered H1571 me also H3701 silver H2091 and gold, H5459 and the peculiar H4428 treasure of kings H4082 and of the provinces: H6213 I got H7891 me men singers H7891 and women singers, H8588 and the delights H1121 of the sons H120 of men, H7705 as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

9 H1431 So I was great, H3254 and increased H3605 more than all H6440 that were before H3389 me in Jerusalem: H637 also H2451 my wisdom H5975 remained with me.

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

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