TSK · Ecclesiastes 2:1

Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall] never [be] in adversity.

[When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all [they] that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

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.

I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for [there is] a time there for every purpose and for every work.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; [and] break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass [yourselves] about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

¶ ‹There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:›

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.

¶ Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you].

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
