And I gave H5414 H853 my heart H3820 to seek H1875 and search out H8446 by wisdom H2451 concerning H5921 all H3605 things that H834 are done H6213 under H8478 heaven: H8064 this H1931 sore H7451 travail H6045 hath H5414 God H430 given H5414 to the sons H1121 of man H120 to be exercised H6031 therewith.^§

For H3588 all H3605 his days H3117 are sorrows, H4341 and his travail H6045 grief; H3708 yea, H1571 his heart H3820 taketh H7901 not H3808 rest H7901 in the night. H3915 This H2088 is H1931 also H1571 vanity. H1892

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men:

There is H3426 an evil H7451 which H834 I have seen H7200 under H8478 the sun, H8121 and it H1931 is common H7227 among H5921 men: H120

Ἔστιν G2076 (V-PAI-3S) πονηρία, G4189 (N-NSF) ἣν G3739 (R-ASF) εἶδον G1492 (V-2AAI-1S) ὑπὸ G5259 (PREP) τὸν G3588 (T-ASM) ἥλιον, G2246 (N-ASM) καὶ G2532 (CONJ) πολλή G4183 (A-NSF) ἐστιν G2076 (V-PAI-3S) ἐπὶ G1909 (PREP) τὸν G3588 (T-ASM) ἄνθρωπον· G444 (N-ASM)

a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

a man H376 to whom H834 God H430 hath given H5414 riches, H6239 wealth, H5233 and honour, H3519 so that he H369 wanteth H2638 nothing H369 for his soul H5315 of all H3605 that H834 he desireth, H183 yet God H430 giveth him H7980 not H3808 power H7980 to eat H398 thereof, H4480 but H3588 a stranger H376 H5237 eateth it: H398 this H2088 is vanity, H1892 and it H1931 is an evil H7451 disease.

G2076 (V-PAI-3S)

Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.

That which H4100 hath been H1961 is named H7121 already, H3528 H8034 and it is known H3045 that H834 it H1931 is man: H120 neither H3808 may H3201 he contend H1777 with H5973 him that is mightier H8623 than he. H4480

It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men, and the living should take this to heart.

It is better H2896 to go H3212 to H413 the house H1004 of mourning, H60 than to go H3212 to H413 the house H1004 of feasting: H4960 for H834 that H1931 is the end H5490 of all H3605 men; H120 and the living H2416 will lay H5414 it to H413 his heart. H3820

Ἀγαθὸν G18 (A-NSN) πορευθῆναι G4198 (V-AON) εἰς G1519 (PREP) οἶκον G3624 (N-ASM) πένθους G3997 (N-GSN) ἢ G2228 (PRT) ὅτι G3754 (CONJ) πορευθῆναι G4198 (V-AON) εἰς G1519 (PREP) οἶκον G3624 (N-ASM) πότου, G4224 (A-GSM) καθότι G2530 (CONJ) τοῦτο G5124 (D-NSN) τέλος G5056 (N-NSN) παντὸς G3956 (A-GSM) τοῦ G3588 (T-GSM) ἀνθρώπου, G444 (N-GSM) καὶ G2532 (CONJ) ὁ G3588 (T-NSM) ζῶν G2198 (V-PAP-NSM) δώσει G1325 (V-FAI-3S) εἰς G1519 (PREP) καρδίαν G2588 (N-ASF) αὐτοῦ. G846 (P-GSM)

All this I have proved in wisdom. I said, “I will be wise;” but it was far from me.

All H3605 this H2090 have I proved H5254 by wisdom: H2451 I said, H559 I will be wise; H2449 but it H1931 was far H7350 from me. H4480

Πάντα G3956 (A-APN) ταῦτα G5023 (D-APN) ἐπείρασα G3985 (V-AAI-1S) ἐν G1722 (PREP) τῇ G3588 (T-DSF) σοφίᾳ· G4678 (N-DSF) εἶπα G2036 (V-2AAI-1S) Σοφισθήσομαι, G4679 (V-FPI-1S)

I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.

and I H589 find H4672 more bitter H4751 than death H4194 H853 the woman, H802 whose H834 H1931 heart H3820 is snares H4685 and nets, H2764 and her hands H3027 as bands: H612 whoso pleaseth H2896 H6440 God H430 shall escape H4422 from her; H4480 but the sinner H2398 shall be taken H3920 by her.

G846 (P-DSF)

Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat, to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

Then I H589 commended H7623 H853 mirth, H8057 because H834 a man H120 hath no H369 better thing H2896 under H8478 the sun, H8121 than H3588 H518 to eat, H398 and to drink, H8354 and to be merry: H8055 for that H1931 shall abide with him H3867 of his labour H5999 the days H3117 of his life, H2416 which H834 God H430 giveth H5414 him under H8478 the sun.

For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

For H3588 to him H4310 that H834 is joined H2266 to H413 all H3605 the living H2416 there is H3426 hope: H986 for H3588 a living H2416 dog H3611 is H1931 better H2896 than H4480 a dead H4191 lion. H738

Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity, for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.

Live H2416 joyfully^§ H7200 with H5973 the wife H802 whom H834 thou lovest H157 all H3605 the days H3117 of the life H2416 of thy vanity, H1892 which H834 he hath given H5414 thee under H8478 the sun, H8121 all H3605 the days H3117 of thy vanity: H1892 for H3588 that H1931 is thy portion H2506 in this life, H2416 and in thy labour H5999 which H834 thou H859 takest H6001 under H8478 the sun.
