What the profit to a man in all the labor he will labor under the sun?

What was, that shall be; and what was done, that shall be done: and not anything new under the sun.

And I gave my heart to seek and to search out in wisdom concerning all which was done under the heavens: this evil business God gave to the sons of man to be occupied in it

I saw all the works they did under the sun; and behold, all vanity and striving of the spirit

I examined in my heart to draw my flesh with wine, and my heart led in wisdom; and to lay hold upon folly till that I shall see what this good to the sons of man which they will do under the heavens the number of the days of their life.

And I looked upon all my works my hands made, and upon the labor I labored to do, and behold, all vanity and striving of the spirit, and no profit under the sun.

And I hated life, for evil to me the work done under the sun: for all vanity and striving of the spirit

And I hated all my labor I laboring under the sun: leaving it to the man who shall come after me.

And who shall know whether he shall be wise or foolish? And he shall have dominion over all my labor which I labored, and was wise under the sun. Also this is vanity.

And I turned about to let my heart despair for all the labor I labored under the sun.

For what was to man in all his labor, and in the striving of his heart, he labored under the sun?

To all a season, and a time to every inclination under the heavens:

And yet I saw under the sun the place of judgment, there the unjust one; and the place of the just one, there the unjust one.

And I turned back, and I shall see all the oppressions which are doing under the sun: and behold, the tears of the oppressed, and none comforting to them; and from the hand of those oppressing them was power, and none comforting to them.

And good above them two which were not yet, which saw not the evil work which was done under the sun.

And I turned back, and I shall see vanity under the sun.

I saw all the living going under the sun, with the second child which shall stand in his stead.

There is an evil making sick I saw under the sun: riches watched to its owners for their evil.

Behold, what I saw: good, which is beautiful to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labor that he will labor under the sun the number of the days of his life, which God gave to him; for this his portion.

There is evil which I saw under the sun, and it is much upon man:

For who shall know what is for man in life, the number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he will make them as a shadow? for who shall announce to man what shall be after him under the sun?

For as the voice of thorns under the pot, so the laughter of the foolish one. Also this is vanity.

All this I saw, and giving my heart to every work which was done under the sun: a time which man had power overman for evil to him.

And I praised joy, because there is no good to man under the sun but to eat and to drink, and to rejoice: for this shall lodge with him in his labor the days of his life which God gave to him under the sun.

And I saw all the work of God, that no man shall be able to find out the work that was done under the sun in whatsoever a man shall labor to seek out, and he shall not find: and also if the wise one shall say to know, he shall not be able to find.

This an evil in all being done under the sun, thus one event is to all: and also the heart of the sons of man being full of evil, and folly in their heart in their living, and after it to their deaths.

Also their love, also their hatred, also their envy perished already; and no more portion to them forever in all which was done under the sun.

See life with the wife which thou didst love all the days of the life of thy vanity which he gave to thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for this thy portion in life, and in thy labor which thou laborest under the sun.

I turned back, and saw under the sun that not to the fleet the race, and the war not to the strong, and also not to the wise, bread; and also not to the understanding ones, riches; and also not to the knowing, favor; for time and chance will light upon all of them.

Also this I saw, the wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:

There is an evil I saw under the sun as an error going forth from before him having power:
