<t>I enlarged<S>1431</S> my works:<S>4639</S> I built<S>1129</S> houses<S>1004</S> for myself, I planted<S>5193</S> vineyards<S>3754</S> for myself;</t>

<pb/><t>I made<S>6213</S> gardens<S>1593</S> and parks<S>6508</S> for myself, and I planted<S>5193</S> in them all<S>3605</S> kinds of fruit<S>6529</S> trees;<S>6086</S></t>

<pb/><t>I made<S>6213</S> ponds<S>1295</S> of water<S>4325</S> for myself from which to irrigate<S>8248</S> a forest<S>9194</S> of growing<S>6779</S> trees.<S>6086</S></t>

<pb/><t>I bought<S>7069</S> male<S>5650</S> and female<S>8198</S> slaves,<S>8198</S> <S>5650</S> and I had<S>1961</S> homeborn<S>1121</S> <S>1004</S> slaves.<S>1121</S> Also<S>1571</S> I possessed flocks<S>6629</S> and herds<S>1241</S> larger<S>7235</S> than<S>4480</S> all<S>3605</S> who<S>7945</S> preceded<S>6440</S> me in Jerusalem.<S>3389</S></t>

<pb/><t>Also,<S>1571</S> I collected<S>3664</S> for myself silver<S>3701</S> and gold,<S>2091</S> and the treasure<S>5459</S> of kings<S>4428</S> and provinces.<S>4082</S> I provided<S>6213</S> for myself male and female singers<S>7891</S> and the pleasures<S>8588</S> of men<S>1121</S> <S>120</S> – many<S>7705</S> concubines.<S>7705</S></t>


text:
<pb/><t>Then I became<S>1431</S> great<S>1431</S> and increased<S>3254</S> more<S>4480</S> than<S>4480</S> all<S>3605</S> who<S>7945</S> preceded<S>6440</S> me in Jerusalem.<S>3389</S> My wisdom<S>2451</S> also<S>637</S> stood<S>5975</S> by me.</t>


text:
<pb/><t>And all<S>3605</S> that my eyes<S>5869</S> desired<S>7592</S> I did not refuse<S>680</S> them.

text:
<pb/><t>Thus I considered<S>6437</S> all<S>3605</S> my activities<S>4639</S> which<S>7945</S> my hands<S>3027</S> had done<S>6213</S> and the labor<S>5999</S> which<S>7945</S> I had exerted,<S>6213</S> and behold<S>2009</S> all<S>3605</S> was vanity<S>1892</S> and striving<S>7469</S> after wind<S>7307</S> and there<S>369</S> was no<S>369</S> profit<S>3504</S> under<S>8478</S> the sun.<S>8121</S></t>


text:
<t>So I turned<S>6437</S> to consider<S>7200</S> wisdom,<S>2451</S> madness<S>1947</S> and folly,<S>5531</S> for what<S>4100</S> [will] the man<S>120</S> [do] who<S>7945</S> will come<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> the king<S>4428</S> [except] what<S>834</S> has already<S>3528</S> been done<S>6213</S>?</t>


text:
<pb/><t>And I saw<S>7200</S> that wisdom<S>2451</S> excels<S>3504</S> folly<S>5531</S> as light<S>216</S> excels<S>3504</S> darkness.<S>2822</S></t>


text:
<pb/><t>The wise<S>2450</S> man's eyes<S>5869</S> are in his head,<S>7218</S> but the fool<S>3684</S> walks<S>1980</S> in darkness.<S>2822</S> And yet<S>1571</S> I know<S>3045</S> that one<S>259</S> fate<S>4745</S> befalls<S>7136</S> them both.<S>3605</S></t>


text:
<pb/><t>Then I said<S>559</S> to myself,<S>3820</S> "As is the fate<S>4745</S> of the fool,<S>3684</S> it will also<S>1571</S> befall<S>7136</S> me. Why<S>4100</S> then<S>227</S> have I been<S>2449</S> extremely<S>3148</S> wise<S>2449</S>?" So I said<S>1696</S> to myself,<S>3820</S> "This<S>2088</S> too<S>1571</S> is vanity.<S>1892</S>"</t>


text:
<pb/><t>For there<S>369</S> is no<S>369</S> lasting<S>5769</S> remembrance<S>2146</S> of the wise<S>2450</S> man<S>2450</S> [as] with the fool,<S>3684</S> inasmuch<S>7945</S> as [in] the coming<S>935</S> days<S>3117</S> all<S>3605</S> will be forgotten.<S>7911</S> And how<S>349</S> the wise<S>2450</S> man<S>2450</S> and the fool<S>3684</S> alike<S>5973</S> die!<S>4191</S></t>


text:
<pb/><t>So I hated<S>8130</S> life,<S>9132</S> for the work<S>4639</S> which<S>7945</S> had been done<S>6213</S> under<S>8478</S> the sun<S>8121</S> was grievous<S>7451</S> to me; because<S>3588</S> everything<S>3605</S> is futility<S>1892</S> and striving<S>7469</S> after wind.<S>7307</S></t>


text:
<t>Thus I hated<S>8130</S> all<S>3605</S> the fruit<S>5999</S> of my labor<S>5999</S> for which<S>7945</S> I had labored<S>6001</S> under<S>8478</S> the sun,<S>8121</S> for I must leave<S>5117</S> it to the man<S>120</S> who<S>7945</S> will come<S>1961</S> after<S>310</S> me.</t>


text:
<pb/><t>And who<S>4310</S> knows<S>3045</S> whether he will be a wise<S>2450</S> man<S>2450</S> or<S>176</S> a fool<S>5530</S>? Yet he will have control<S>7980</S> over<S>7980</S> all<S>3605</S> the fruit<S>5999</S> of my labor<S>5999</S> for which<S>7945</S> I have labored<S>5998</S> by acting<S>2449</S> wisely<S>2449</S> under<S>8478</S> the sun.<S>8121</S> This<S>2088</S> too<S>1571</S> is vanity.<S>1892</S></t>


text:
<pb/><t>Therefore I completely<S>5437</S> <S>3820</S> despaired<S>2976</S> of all<S>3605</S> the fruit<S>5999</S> of my labor<S>5999</S> for which<S>7945</S> I had labored<S>5998</S> under<S>8478</S> the sun.<S>8121</S></t>

<t>For what<S>4100</S> does a man<S>120</S> get<S>1933</S> in all<S>3605</S> his labor<S>5999</S> and in his striving<S>7475</S> with which<S>7945</S> he labors<S>6001</S> under<S>8478</S> the sun<S>8121</S>?</t>
