Kohelet 2:9-11

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁹ So I was great, and excelled more than all that were before me in Yerushalayim; also my chochmah remained with me.

¹⁰ And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my lev from any simchah; for my lev rejoiced in all my amal (labor); and this was my chelek (portion) for all my amal.

¹¹ Then I looked on kol ma’asim that my hands had wrought, and on the amal that I had labored to do; and, hinei, all was hevel and chasing after ruach, and there was no profit under the shemesh.
