Lyrics
1 I said in mine heart, Go
to now, I will prove thee
with mirth, therefore
enjoy pleasure: and,
behold, this also is
vanity.
2 I said of laughter, It
is mad: and of mirth, What
doeth it?
3 I sought in mine heart
to give myself unto wine,
yet acquainting mine heart
with wisdom; and to lay
hold on folly, till I
might see what was that
good for the sons of men,
which they should do under
the heaven all the days of
their life.
4 I made me great works; I
builded me houses; I
planted me vineyards:
5 I made me gardens and
orchards, and I planted
trees in them of all kind
of fruits:
6 I made me pools of
water, to water therewith
the wood that bringeth
forth trees:
7 I got me servants and
maidens, and had servants
born in my house; also I
had great possessions of
great and small cattle
above all that were in
Jerusalem before me:
8 I gathered me also
silver and gold, and the
peculiar treasure of kings
and of the provinces: I
gat me men singers and
women singers, and the
delights of the sons of
men, as musical
instruments, and that of
all sorts.
9 So I was great, and
increased more than all
that were before me in
Jerusalem: also my wisdom
remained with me.
10 And whatsoever mine
eyes desired I kept not
from them, I withheld not
my heart from any joy; for
my heart rejoiced in all
my labour: and this was my
portion of all my labour.
11 Then I looked on all
the works that my hands
had wrought, and on the
labour that I had laboured
to do: and, behold, all
was vanity and vexation of
spirit, and there was no
profit under the sun.
12 And I turned myself to
behold wisdom, and
madness, and folly: for
what can the man do that
cometh after the king?
even that which hath been
already done.
13 Then I saw that wisdom
excelleth folly, as far as
light excelleth darkness.
14 The wise man's eyes are
in his head; but the fool
walketh in darkness: and I
myself perceived also that
one event happeneth to
them all.
15 Then said I in my
heart, As it happeneth to
the fool, so it happeneth
even to me; and why was I
then more wise? Then I
said in my heart, that
this also is vanity.
16 For there is no
remembrance of the wise
more than of the fool for
ever; seeing that which
now is in the days to come
shall all be forgotten.
And how dieth the wise
man? as the fool.
17 Therefore I hated life;
because the work that is
wrought under the sun is
grievous unto me: for all
is vanity and vexation of
spirit.
18 Yea, I hated all my
labour which I had taken
under the sun: because I
should leave it unto the
man that shall be after
me.
19 And who knoweth whether
he shall be a wise man or
a fool? yet shall he have
rule over all my labour
wherein I have laboured,
and wherein I have shewed
myself wise under the sun.
This is also vanity.
20 Therefore I went about
to cause my heart to
despair of all the labour
which I took under the
sun.
21 For there is a man
whose labour is in wisdom,
and in knowledge, and in
equity; yet to a man that
hath not laboured therein
shall he leave it for his
portion. This also is
vanity and a great evil.
22 For what hath man of
all his labour, and of the
vexation of his heart,
wherein he hath laboured
under the sun?
23 For all his days are
sorrows, and his travail
grief; yea, his heart
taketh not rest in the
night. This is also
vanity.
24 There is nothing better
for a man, than that he
should eat and drink, and
that he should make his
soul enjoy good in his
labour. This also I saw,
that it was from the hand
of God.
25 For who can eat, or who
else can hasten hereunto,
more than I?
26 For God giveth to a man
that is good in his sight
wisdom, and knowledge, and
joy: but to the sinner he
giveth travail, to gather
and to heap up, that he
may give to him that is
good before God. This also
is vanity and vexation of
spirit.
Track Comments
The music
to Ecclesiastes 2 was composed
in 2005.
Solomon having
pronounced all vanity, and particularly knowledge and
learning, which he was so far from giving himself joy of
that he found the increase of it did but increase his
sorrow, in this chapter he goes on to show what reason he
has to be tired of this world, and with what little reason
most men are fond of it. |
