What profit3504 hath he that worketh6213 in that wherein834 he laboureth?6001

3:10

I have seen7200 the travail,6045 which Elohim430 hath given5414 to the sons1121 of men120 to be exercised6031 in it.

3:11

He hath made6213 every thing beautiful3303 in his time:6256 also he hath set5414 the world5769 in their heart,3820 so that no1097 man120 can find out4672 the work4639 that Elohim430 maketh6213 from the beginning7218 to the end.5490

3:12

I know3045 that there is no good2896 in them, but for a man to rejoice,8055 and to do6213 good2896 in his life.2416

3:13

And also that every man120 should eat398 and drink,8354 and enjoy7200 the good2896 of all his labour,5999 it is the gift4991 of Elohim.430

3:14

I know3045 that, whatsoever Elohim430 doeth,6213 it shall be for ever:5769 nothing369 can be put3254 to it, nor any thing369 taken1639 from it: and Elohim430 doeth6213 it, that men should fear3372 before6440 him.

3:15

That which hath been is now;3528 and that which is to be hath already3528 been; and Elohim430 requireth1245 that which is past.7291

3:16

And moreover I saw7200 under the sun8121 the place4725 of judgment,4941 that wickedness7562 was there; and the place4725 of righteousness,6664 that iniquity7562 was there.

3:17

I said559 in mine heart,3820 Elohim430 shall judge8199 the righteous6662 and the wicked:7563 for there is a time6256 there for every purpose2656 and for every work.4639

3:18

I said559 in mine heart3820 concerning the estate1700 of the sons1121 of men,120 that Elohim430 might manifest1305 them, and that they might see7200 that they1992 themselves are beasts.929

3:19

For that which befalleth4745 the sons1121 of men120 befalleth4745 beasts;929 even one259 thing befalleth4745 them: as the one2088 dieth,4194 so dieth4194 the other;2088 yea, they have all one259 breath;7307 so that a man120 hath no preeminence4195 above a beast:929 for all is vanity.1892

3:20

All go1980 unto one259 place;4725 all are of the dust,6083 and all turn to dust6083 again.7725

3:21

Who knoweth3045 the spirit7307 of man1121 that goeth5927 upward,4605 and the spirit7307 of the beast929 that goeth3381 downward4295 to the earth?776

3:22

Wherefore I perceive7200 that there is nothing better,2896 than that a man120 should rejoice8055 in his own works;4639 for that is his portion:2506 for who shall bring935 him to see7200 what shall be after310 him?
