| Ecclesiastes 2:9 | So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me. |
| Ecclesiastes 2:10 | And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil. |
| Ecclesiastes 2:11 | Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun. |
| Ecclesiastes 2:12 | So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what has already been done. |
