For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

For who knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) what is good H2896 for man H120 in this life, H2416 all H4557 the days H3117 of his vain H1892 life^§ H2416 which he spendeth H6213 (QalImpf) as a shadow? H6738 for who can tell H5046 (HiphImpf) a man H120 what shall be after H310 him under the sun? H8121

Ecclesiastes 6:12 Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity

οτι τις οιδεν τι αγαθον τω ανθρωπω εν τη ζωη αριθμον ημερων ζωης ματαιοτητος αυτου και εποιησεν αυτας εν σκια οτι τις απαγγελει τω ανθρωπω τι εσται οπισω αυτου υπο τον ηλιον

Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heart is made good.

Sorrow^§ H3708 is better H2896 than laughter: H7814 for by the sadness H7455 of the countenance H6440 the heart H3820 is made better. H3190 (QalImpf)

Ecclesiastes 7:3 Or, anger

αγαθον θυμος υπερ γελωτα οτι εν κακια προσωπου αγαθυνθησεται καρδια

For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

For as the crackling^§ H6963 of thorns H5518 under a pot, H5518 so is the laughter H7814 of the fool: H3684 this also is vanity. H1892

Ecclesiastes 7:6 Heb. sound

οτι ως φωνη των ακανθων υπο τον λεβητα ουτως γελως των αφρονων και γε τουτο ματαιοτης

Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.

Surely oppression H6233 maketh a wise man H2450 mad; H1984 (PoelImpf) and a gift H4979 destroyeth H6 (PielImpf) the heart. H3820

οτι η συκοφαντια περιφερει σοφον και απολλυσι την καρδιαν ευτονιας αυτου

Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

Be not hasty H926 (PielImpf) in thy spirit H7307 to be angry: H3707 (QalInf) for anger H3708 resteth H5117 (QalImpf) in the bosom H2436 of fools. H3684

μη σπευσης εν πνευματι σου του θυμουσθαι οτι θυμος εν κολπω αφρονων αναπαυσεται

Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not ask wisely about this.

Say H559 (QalImpf) not thou, What is the cause that the former H7223 days H3117 were better H2896 than these? for thou dost not enquire H7592 (QalPerf) wisely^§ H2451 concerning this.

Ecclesiastes 7:10 Heb. out of wisdom

μη ειπης τι εγενετο οτι αι ημεραι αι προτεραι ησαν αγαθαι υπερ ταυτας οτι ουκ εν σοφια επηρωτησας περι τουτου

For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

For wisdom H2451 is a defence,^§ H6738 and money H3701 is a defence: H6738 but the excellency H3504 of knowledge H1847 is, that wisdom H2451 giveth life H2421 (PielImpf) to them that have H1167 it.

Ecclesiastes 7:12 Heb. shadow

οτι εν σκια αυτης η σοφια ως σκια του αργυριου και περισσεια γνωσεως της σοφιας ζωοποιησει τον παρ αυτης

Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight which he has made crooked?

Consider H7200 (QalImpv) the work H4639 of God: H430 for who can H3201 (QalImpf) make that straight, H8626 (PielInf) which he hath made crooked? H5791 (PielPerf)

ιδε τα ποιηματα του θεου οτι τις δυνησεται του κοσμησαι ον αν ο θεος διαστρεψη αυτον

It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also don’t withdraw your hand from that; for he who fears God will come out of them all.

It is good H2896 that thou shouldest take hold H270 (QalImpf) of this; yea, also from this H2088 withdraw H3240 (HiphImpf) not thine hand: H3027 for he that feareth H3373 God H430 shall come forth H3318 (QalImpf) of them all.

αγαθον το αντεχεσθαι σε εν τουτω και γε απο τουτου μη ανης την χειρα σου οτι φοβουμενος τον θεον εξελευσεται τα παντα

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.

For there is not a just H6662 man H120 upon earth, H776 that doeth H6213 (QalImpf) good, H2896 and sinneth H2398 (QalImpf) not.

οτι ανθρωπος ουκ εστιν δικαιος εν τη γη ος ποιησει αγαθον και ουχ αμαρτησεται

for often your own heart knows that you yourself have likewise cursed others.

for oftentimes H6471 H7227 also thine own heart H3820 knoweth H3045 (QalPerf) that thou thyself likewise hast cursed H7043 (PielPerf) others. H312

οτι πλειστακις πονηρευσεται σε και καθοδους πολλας κακωσει καρδιαν σου οπως και γε συ κατηρασω ετερους

Don’t be hasty to go out of his presence. Don’t persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,

Be not hasty H926 (NiphImpf) to go out H3212 (QalImpf) of his sight: H6440 stand H5975 (QalImpf) not in an evil H7451 thing; H1697 for he doeth H6213 (QalImpf) whatsoever pleaseth H2654 (QalImpf) him.

απο προσωπου αυτου πορευση μη στης εν λογω πονηρω οτι παν ο εαν θεληση ποιησει

For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.

Because to every purpose H2656 there is H3426 time H6256 and judgment, H4941 therefore the misery H7451 of man H120 is great H7227 upon him.

οτι παντι πραγματι εστιν καιρος και κρισις οτι γνωσις του ανθρωπου πολλη επ αυτον

For he doesn’t know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?

For he knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) not that which shall be: for who can tell H5046 (HiphImpf) him when it shall be?^§

Ecclesiastes 8:7 Or, how it shall be?

οτι ουκ εστιν γινωσκων τι το εσομενον οτι καθως εσται τις αναγγελει αυτω

Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

Though a sinner H2398 (QalActPtc) do H6213 (QalActPtc) evil H7451 an hundred times, H3967 and his days be prolonged, H748 (HiphPtc) yet surely I know H3045 (QalActPtc) that it shall be well H2896 with them that fear H3373 God, H430 which fear H3372 (QalImpf) before H6440 him:

ος ημαρτεν εποιησεν το πονηρον απο τοτε και απο μακροτητος αυτω οτι και γε γινωσκω εγω οτι εσται αγαθον τοις φοβουμενοις τον θεον οπως φοβωνται απο προσωπου αυτου

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 commended H7623 (PielPerf) mirth, H8057 because a man H120 hath no better thing H2896 under the sun, H8121 than to eat, H398 (QalInf) and to drink, H8354 (QalInf) and to be merry: H8055 (QalInf) for that shall abide H3867 (QalImpf) with him of his labour H5999 the days H3117 of his life, H2416 which God H430 giveth H5414 (QalPerf) him under the sun. H8121

και επηνεσα εγω συν την ευφροσυνην οτι ουκ εστιν αγαθον τω ανθρωπω υπο τον ηλιον οτι ει μη του φαγειν και του πιειν και του ευφρανθηναι και αυτο συμπροσεσται αυτω εν μοχθω αυτου ημερας ζωης αυτου οσας εδωκεν αυτω ο θεος υπο τον ηλιον

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth (even though eyes see no sleep day or night),

When I applied H5414 (QalPerf) mine heart H3820 to know H3045 (QalInf) wisdom, H2451 and to see H7200 (QalInf) the business H6045 that is done H6213 (NiphPerf) upon the earth: H776 (for also there is that neither day H3117 nor night H3915 seeth H7200 (QalActPtc) sleep H8142 with his eyes:) H5869

εν οις εδωκα την καρδιαν μου του γνωναι σοφιαν και του ιδειν τον περισπασμον τον πεποιημενον επι της γης οτι και γε εν ημερα και εν νυκτι υπνον εν οφθαλμοις αυτου ουκ εστιν βλεπων

For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.

For all this I considered H5414 (QalPerf) in my heart^§ H3820 even to declare H952 (QalInf) all this, that the righteous, H6662 and the wise, H2450 and their works, H5652 are in the hand H3027 of God: H430 no man H120 knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) either H1571 love H160 or hatred H8135 by all that is before H6440 them.

Ecclesiastes 9:1 Heb. I gave, or set to my heart

οτι συν παν τουτο εδωκα εις καρδιαν μου και καρδια μου συν παν ειδεν τουτο ως οι δικαιοι και οι σοφοι και εργασιαι αυτων εν χειρι του θεου και γε αγαπην και γε μισος ουκ εστιν ειδως ο ανθρωπος τα παντα προ προσωπου αυτων

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

For H4310 to him that is H3426 joined H2266 (PualImpf) (Qere) H977 (PualImpf) to all the living H2416 there is hope: H986 for a living H2416 dog H3611 is better H2896 than a dead H4191 (QalPtc) lion. H738

οτι τις ος κοινωνει προς παντας τους ζωντας εστιν ελπις οτι ο κυων ο ζων αυτος αγαθος υπερ τον λεοντα τον νεκρον

For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.

For the living H2416 know H3045 (QalActPtc) that they shall die: H4191 (QalImpf) but the dead H4191 (QalPtc) know H3045 (QalActPtc) not any thing, H3972 neither have they any more a reward; H7939 for the memory H2143 of them is forgotten. H7911 (NiphPerf)

οτι οι ζωντες γνωσονται οτι αποθανουνται και οι νεκροι ουκ εισιν γινωσκοντες ουδεν και ουκ εστιν αυτοις ετι μισθος οτι επελησθη η μνημη αυτων

Go your way—eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.

Go thy way, H3212 (QalImpv) eat H398 (QalImpv) thy bread H3899 with joy, H8057 and drink H8354 (QalImpv) thy wine H3196 with a merry H2896 heart; H3820 for God H430 now H3528 accepteth H7521 (QalPerf) thy works. H4639

δευρο φαγε εν ευφροσυνη αρτον σου και πιε εν καρδια αγαθη οινον σου οτι ηδη ευδοκησεν ο θεος τα ποιηματα σου

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 (QalImpv) with the wife H802 whom thou lovest H157 (QalPerf) all the days H3117 of the life H2416 of thy vanity, H1892 which he hath given H5414 (QalPerf) thee under the sun, H8121 all the days H3117 of thy vanity: H1892 for that is thy portion H2506 in this life, H2416 and in thy labour H5999 which thou takest H6001 under the sun. H8121

Ecclesiastes 9:9 Heb. see, or enjoy life

ιδε ζωην μετα γυναικος ης ηγαπησας πασας ημερας ζωης ματαιοτητος σου τας δοθεισας σοι υπο τον ηλιον πασας ημερας ματαιοτητος σου οτι αυτο μερις σου εν τη ζωη σου και εν τω μοχθω σου ω συ μοχθεις υπο τον ηλιον

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol,° where you are going.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 Sheol is the place of the dead.

Whatsoever thy hand H3027 findeth H4672 (QalImpf) to do, H6213 (QalInf) do H6213 (QalImpv) it with thy might; H3581 for there is no work, H4639 nor device, H2808 nor knowledge, H1847 nor wisdom, H2451 in the grave, H7585 whither thou goest. H1980 (QalActPtc)

παντα οσα αν ευρη η χειρ σου του ποιησαι ως η δυναμις σου ποιησον οτι ουκ εστιν ποιημα και λογισμος και γνωσις και σοφια εν αδη οπου συ πορευη εκει

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

I returned, H7725 (QalPerf) and saw H7200 (QalInf) under the sun, H8121 that the race H4793 is not to the swift, H7031 nor the battle H4421 to the strong, H1368 neither yet bread H3899 to the wise, H2450 nor yet riches H6239 to men of understanding, H995 (NiphPtc) nor yet favour H2580 to men of skill; H3045 (QalActPtc) but time H6256 and chance H6294 happeneth H7136 (QalImpf) to them all.

επεστρεψα και ειδον υπο τον ηλιον οτι ου τοις κουφοις ο δρομος και ου τοις δυνατοις ο πολεμος και γε ου τοις σοφοις αρτος και γε ου τοις συνετοις πλουτος και γε ου τοις γινωσκουσιν χαρις οτι καιρος και απαντημα συναντησεται τοις πασιν αυτοις

For man also doesn’t know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.

For man H120 also knoweth H3045 (QalImpf) not his time: H6256 as the fishes H1709 that are taken H270 (NiphPtc) in an evil H7451 net, H4685 and as the birds H6833 that are caught H270 (QalPasPtc) in the snare; H6341 so H1992 are the sons H1121 of men H120 snared H3369 (PualPerf) in an evil H7451 time, H6256 when it falleth H5307 (QalImpf) suddenly H6597 upon them.

οτι και γε ουκ εγνω ο ανθρωπος τον καιρον αυτου ως οι ιχθυες οι θηρευομενοι εν αμφιβληστρω κακω και ως ορνεα τα θηρευομενα εν παγιδι ως αυτα παγιδευονται οι υιοι του ανθρωπου εις καιρον πονηρον οταν επιπεση επ αυτους αφνω

If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.

If the spirit H7307 of the ruler H4910 (QalActPtc) rise up H5927 (QalImpf) against thee, leave H3240 (HiphImpf) not thy place; H4725 for yielding H4832 pacifieth H3240 (HiphImpf) great H1419 offences. H2399

εαν πνευμα του εξουσιαζοντος αναβη επι σε τοπον σου μη αφης οτι ιαμα καταπαυσει αμαρτιας μεγαλας

Don’t curse the king, no, not in your thoughts; and don’t curse the rich in your bedroom, for a bird of the sky may carry your voice, and that which has wings may tell the matter.

Curse H7043 (PielImpf) not the king, H4428 no not in thy thought;^§ H4093 and curse H7043 (PielImpf) not the rich H6223 in thy bedchamber: H2315 H4904 for a bird H5775 of the air H8064 shall carry H3212 (HiphImpf) the voice, H6963 and that which hath H1167 wings H3671 shall tell H5046 (HiphImpf) the matter. H1697

Ecclesiastes 10:20 Or, conscience

και γε εν συνειδησει σου βασιλεα μη καταραση και εν ταμιειοις κοιτωνων σου μη καταραση πλουσιον οτι πετεινον του ουρανου αποισει συν την φωνην και ο εχων τας πτερυγας απαγγελει λογον

Cast your bread on the waters; for you shall find it after many days.

Cast H7971 (PielImpv) thy bread H3899 upon H6440 the waters:^§ H4325 for thou shalt find H4672 (QalImpf) it after many H7230 days. H3117

Ecclesiastes 11:1 Heb. upon the face of the waters

αποστειλον τον αρτον σου επι προσωπον του υδατος οτι εν πληθει των ημερων ευρησεις αυτον

Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.

Give H5414 (QalImpv) a portion H2506 to seven, H7651 and also to eight; H8083 for thou knowest H3045 (QalImpf) not what evil H7451 shall be upon the earth. H776

δος μεριδα τοις επτα και γε τοις οκτω οτι ου γινωσκεις τι εσται πονηρον επι την γην

In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.

In the morning H1242 sow H2232 (QalImpv) thy seed, H2233 and in the evening H6153 withhold H3240 (HiphImpf) not thine hand: H3027 for thou knowest H3045 (QalActPtc) not whether H335 shall prosper,^§ H3787 (QalImpf) either this or that, or whether they both H8147 shall be alike H259 good. H2896

Ecclesiastes 11:6 Heb. shall be right

εν πρωια σπειρον το σπερμα σου και εις εσπεραν μη αφετω η χειρ σου οτι ου γινωσκεις ποιον στοιχησει η τουτο η τουτο και εαν τα δυο επι το αυτο αγαθα

Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.

but if a man H120 live H2421 (QalImpf) many H7235 (HiphInf) years, H8141 and rejoice H8055 (QalImpf) in them all; yet let him remember H2142 (QalImpf) the days H3117 of darkness; H2822 for they shall be many. H7235 (HiphInf) All that cometh H935 (QalPerf) is vanity. H1892

οτι και εαν ετη πολλα ζησεται ο ανθρωπος εν πασιν αυτοις ευφρανθησεται και μνησθησεται τας ημερας του σκοτους οτι πολλαι εσονται παν το ερχομενον ματαιοτης

Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

Rejoice, H8055 (QalImpv) O young man, H970 in thy youth; H3208 and let thy heart H3820 cheer H2895 (HiphImpf) thee in the days H3117 of thy youth, H979 and walk H1980 (PielImpv) in the ways H1870 of thine heart, H3820 and in the sight H4758 of thine eyes: H5869 but know H3045 (QalImpv) thou, that for all these things God H430 will bring H935 (HiphImpf) thee into judgment. H4941

ευφραινου νεανισκε εν νεοτητι σου και αγαθυνατω σε η καρδια σου εν ημεραις νεοτητος σου και περιπατει εν οδοις καρδιας σου και εν ορασει οφθαλμων σου και γνωθι οτι επι πασι τουτοις αξει σε ο θεος εν κρισει

Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

Therefore remove H5493 (HiphImpv) sorrow^§ H3708 from thy heart, H3820 and put away H5674 (HiphImpv) evil H7451 from thy flesh: H1320 for childhood H3208 and youth H7839 are vanity. H1892

Ecclesiastes 11:10 Or, anger

και αποστησον θυμον απο καρδιας σου και παραγαγε πονηριαν απο σαρκος σου οτι η νεοτης και η ανοια ματαιοτης

in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows are darkened,

in the day H3117 when the keepers H8104 (QalActPtc) of the house H1004 shall tremble, H2111 (QalImpf) and the strong H2428 men H582 shall bow H5791 (HithPerf) themselves, and the grinders H2912 (QalActPtc) cease H988 (QalPerf) because they are few, H4591 (PielPerf) and those that look out H7200 (QalActPtc) of the windows H699 be darkened, H2821 (QalPerf)

εν ημερα η εαν σαλευθωσιν φυλακες της οικιας και διαστραφωσιν ανδρες της δυναμεως και ηργησαν αι αληθουσαι οτι ωλιγωθησαν και σκοτασουσιν αι βλεπουσαι εν ταις οπαις

yes, they shall be afraid of heights, and terrors will be on the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets;

also when they shall be afraid H3372 (QalImpf) of that which is high, H1364 and fears H2849 shall be in the way, H1870 and the almond tree H8247 shall flourish, H5006 (HiphImpf) and the grasshopper H2284 shall be a burden, H5445 (HithImpf) and desire H35 shall fail: H6565 (HiphImpf) because man H120 goeth H1980 (QalActPtc) to his long H5769 home, H1004 and the mourners H5594 (QalActPtc) go about H5437 (QalPerf) the streets: H7784

και γε απο υψους οψονται και θαμβοι εν τη οδω και ανθηση το αμυγδαλον και παχυνθη η ακρις και διασκεδασθη η καππαρις οτι επορευθη ο ανθρωπος εις οικον αιωνος αυτου και εκυκλωσαν εν αγορα οι κοπτομενοι

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

Let us hear H8085 (QalImpf) the conclusion H5490 of the whole matter:^§ H1697 Fear H3372 (QalImpv) God, H430 and keep H8104 (QalImpv) his commandments: H4687 for this is the whole duty of man. H120

Ecclesiastes 12:13 Or, the end of the matter, even all that hath been heard, is

τελος λογου το παν ακουεται τον θεον φοβου και τας εντολας αυτου φυλασσε οτι τουτο πας ο ανθρωπος

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

For God H430 shall bring H935 (HiphImpf) every work H4639 into judgment, H4941 with every secret thing, H5956 (NiphPtc) whether it be good, H2896 or whether it be evil. H7451

οτι συν παν το ποιημα ο θεος αξει εν κρισει εν παντι παρεωραμενω εαν αγαθον και εαν πονηρον

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.

Let him kiss H5401 (QalImpf) me with the kisses H5390 of his mouth: H6310 For thy love^§ H1730 is better H2896 than wine. H3196

Song of Solomon 1:2 Heb. thy loves

φιλησατω με απο φιληματων στοματος αυτου οτι αγαθοι μαστοι σου υπερ οινον

Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love.

Stay H5564 (PielImpv) me with flagons, H809 Comfort H7502 (PielImpv) me with apples:^§ H8598 For I am sick H2470 (QalActPtc) of love. H160

Song of Solomon 2:5 Heb. straw me with apples

στηρισατε με εν αμοραις στοιβασατε με εν μηλοις οτι τετρωμενη αγαπης εγω

For behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone.

For, lo, the winter H5638 is past, H5674 (QalPerf) The rain H1653 is over H2498 (QalPerf) and gone; H1980 (QalPerf)

οτι ιδου ο χειμων παρηλθεν ο υετος απηλθεν επορευθη εαυτω

My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountainside, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.

O my dove, H3123 that art in the clefts H2288 of the rock, H5553 In the secret H5643 places of the stairs, H4095 Let me see H7200 (HiphImpv) thy countenance, H4758 Let me hear H8085 (HiphImpv) thy voice; H6963 For sweet H6156 is thy voice, H6963 And thy countenance H4758 is comely. H5000

και ελθε συ περιστερα μου εν σκεπη της πετρας εχομενα του προτειχισματος δειξον μοι την οψιν σου και ακουτισον με την φωνην σου οτι η φωνη σου ηδεια και η οψις σου ωραια

Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol.° Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yah.^§
