⁹What profit3504 hath he that worketh6213 in that wherein834 he laboureth6001?

¹⁰I have seen7200 the travail6045, which God430 hath given5414 to the sons1121 of men120 to be exercised6031 in it.

¹¹He hath made6213 every thing beautiful3303 in his time6256: also he hath set5414 the world5769 in their heart3820, so that1097 no man120 can find out4672 the work4639 that God430 maketh6213 from the beginning7218 to the end5490.

¹²I know3045 that there is no good2896 in them, but for a man to rejoice8055, and to do6213 good2896 in his life2416.

¹³And also that every man120 should eat398 and drink8354, and enjoy7200 the good2896 of all his labour5999, it is the gift4991 of God430.

¹⁴I know3045 that, whatsoever God430 doeth6213, it shall be for ever5769: nothing369 can be put3254 to it, nor any thing taken1639 from it: and God430 doeth6213 it, that men should fear3372 before6440 him.

¹⁵That which hath been is now3528; and that which is to be hath already3528 been; and God430 requireth1245 that which is past7291. that which is past: Heb. that which is driven away

¹⁶And moreover I saw7200 under the sun8121 the place4725 of judgment4941, that wickedness7562 was there; and the place4725 of righteousness6664, that iniquity7562 was there.

¹⁷I said559 in mine heart3820, God430 shall judge8199 the righteous6662 and the wicked7563: for there is a time6256 there for every purpose2656 and for every work4639.

¹⁸I said559 in mine heart3820 concerning the estate1700 of the sons1121 of men120, that God430 might manifest1305 them, and that they might see7200 that they1992 themselves are beasts929. that God: or, that they might clear God, and see, etc

¹⁹For that which befalleth4745 the sons1121 of men120 befalleth4745 beasts929; even one thing259 befalleth4745 them: as the one dieth4194, so dieth4194 the other2088; yea, they have all one259 breath7307; so that a man120 hath no preeminence4195 above a beast929: for all is vanity1892.

²⁰All go1980 unto one259 place4725; all are of the dust6083, and all turn7725 to dust6083 again7725.

²¹Who knoweth3045 the spirit7307 of man1121 120 that goeth5927 upward4605, and the spirit7307 of the beast929 that goeth3381 downward4295 to the earth776? of man: Heb. of the sons of man goeth upward: Heb. is ascending, etc

²²Wherefore I perceive7200 that there is nothing better2896, than that a man120 should rejoice8055 in his own works4639; for that is his portion2506: for who shall bring935 him to see7200 what shall be after310 him?
