Ecclesiastes 2:18 Heb. laboured

και εμισησα εγω συν παντα μοχθον μου ον εγω μοχθω υπο τον ηλιον οτι αφιω αυτον τω ανθρωπω τω γινομενω μετ εμε

Who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all of my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

And who knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) whether he shall be a wise H2450 man or a fool? H5530 yet shall he have rule H7980 (QalImpf) over all my labour H5999 wherein I have laboured, H5998 (QalPerf) and wherein I have shewed myself wise H2449 (QalPerf) under the sun. H8121 This is also vanity. H1892

εγνων οτι παντα οσα εποιησεν ο θεος αυτα εσται εις τον αιωνα επ αυτω ουκ εστιν προσθειναι και απ αυτου ουκ εστιν αφελειν και ο θεος εποιησεν ινα φοβηθωσιν απο προσωπου αυτου
