H4962From menH3027which are thy handH3068, O LORDH4962, from menH2465of the worldH2506, which have their portionH2416in this lifeH990, and whose bellyH4390thou fillest[H8762] H6840with thy hidH7646treasure : they are full[H8799] H1121of childrenH3240, and leave[H8689] H3499the restH5768of their substance to their babes.
H3426There isH259oneH8145alone, and there is not a secondH1121; yea, he hath neither childH251nor brotherH7093: yet is there no endH5999of all his labourH5869; neither is his eyeH7646satisfied[H8799] H6239with richesH6001; neither saith he, For whom do I labourH2637, and bereave[H8764] H5315my soulH2896of goodH1892? This is also vanityH7451, yea, it is a soreH6045travail.
H430And GodH559said[H8799] H8010to SolomonH3824, Because this was in thine heartH7592, and thou hast not asked[H8804] H6239richesH5233, wealthH3519, or honourH5315, nor the lifeH8130of thine enemies[H8802] H7592, neither yet hast asked[H8804] H7227longH3117lifeH7592; but hast asked[H8799] H2451wisdomH4093and knowledgeH8199for thyself, that thou mayest judge[H8799] H5971my peopleH4427, over whom I have made thee king[H8689] :
H8254Wherefore do ye spend[H8799] H3701moneyH3899for that which is not breadH3018? and your labourH7654for that which satisfiethH3808notH8085? hearken[H8798] H8085diligently[H8800] H398unto me, and eat[H8798] H2896ye that which is goodH5315, and let your soulH6026delight[H8691] H1880itself in fatness.
H7200Behold that which I have seen[H8804] H2896: it is goodH3303and comelyH398for one to eat[H8800] H8354and to drink[H8800] H7200, and to enjoy[H8800] H2896the goodH5999of all his labourH5998that he taketh[H8799] H8121under the sunH4557allH3117the daysH2416of his lifeH430, which GodH5414giveth[H8804] H2506him: for it is his portion.
