There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

There is nothing H369 better H2896 for a man, H120 than that he should eat H398 and drink, H8354 and H7200 that he should make H7200 H853 his soul H5315 enjoy^§ H7200 good H2896 in his labour. H5999 This H2090 also H1571 I H589 saw, H7200 that H3588 it H1931 was from the hand H3027 of God. H430

Ecclesiastes 2:24 Or, delight his senses

Οὐκ G3756 (PRT-N) ἔστιν G2076 (V-PAI-3S) ἀγαθὸν G18 (A-NSN) ἐν G1722 (PREP) ἀνθρώπῳ· G444 (N-DSM) ὃ G3739 (R-ASN) φάγεται G5315 (V-FDI-3S) καὶ G2532 (CONJ) ὃ G3739 (R-ASN) πίεται G4095 (V-FDI-3S) καὶ G2532 (CONJ) ὃ G3739 (R-ASN) δείξει G1166 (V-FAI-3S) τῇ G3588 (T-DSF) ψυχῇ G5590 (N-DSF) αὐτοῦ, G846 (P-GSM) ἀγαθὸν G18 (A-NSN) ἐν G1722 (PREP) μόχθῳ G3449 (N-DSM) αὐτοῦ. G846 (P-GSM) Καί G2532 (CONJ) γε G1065 (PRT) τοῦτο G5124 (D-ASN) εἶδον G1492 (V-2AAI-1S) ἐγὼ G1473 (P-1NS) ὅτι G3754 (CONJ) ἀπὸ G575 (PREP) χειρὸς G5495 (N-GSF) τοῦ G3588 (T-GSM) θεοῦ G2316 (N-GSM) ἐστιν· G2076 (V-PAI-3S)

For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?

For H3588 who H4310 can eat, H398 or who else H4310 can hasten H2363 hereunto, more H2351 than I? H4480

ὅτι G3754 (CONJ) τίς G5101 (I-NSM) φάγεται G5315 (V-FDI-3S) καὶ G2532 (CONJ) τίς G5101 (I-NSM) φείσεται G5339 (V-FDI-3S) πάρεξ αὐτοῦ; G846 (P-GSM)

For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

For H3588 God giveth H5414 to a man H120 that H2896 is good H2896 in his sight^§ H6440 wisdom, H2451 and knowledge, H1847 and joy: H8057 but to the sinner H2398 he giveth H5414 travail, H6045 to gather H622 and to heap up, H3664 that he may give H5414 to H2896 him that is good H2896 before H6440 God. H430 This H2088 also H1571 is vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.

I know H3045 that H3588 there is no H369 good H2896 in them, but H3588 H518 for H8055 a man to rejoice, H8055 and to do H6213 good H2896 in his life. H2416

I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.

I know H3045 that, H3588 whatsoever H3605 H834 God H430 doeth, H6213 it H1931 shall be H1961 for ever: H5769 nothing H369 can be put H3254 to it, H5921 nor any thing H369 taken H1639 from it: H4480 and God H430 doeth H6213 it, that H3372 men should fear H3372 before him. H6440

G846 (P-GSM)

I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

I H589 said H559 in mine heart, H3820 God H430 shall judge H8199 H853 the righteous H6662 andH853 the wicked: H7563 for H3588 there is a time H6256 there H8033 for every H3605 purpose H2656 and for H5921 every H3605 work. H4639

G4161 (N-DSN)

For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals, for all is vanity.

For H3588 that which befalleth H4745 the sons H1121 of men H120 befalleth H4745 beasts; H929 even one thing H259 befalleth H4745 them: as the one H2088 dieth, H4194 so H3651 dieth H4194 the other; H2088 yea, they have all H3605 one H259 breath; H7307 so that a man H120 hath no H369 preeminence H4195 above H4480 a beast: H929 for H3588 all H3605 is vanity.

G3153 (N-NSF)

Therefore I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his works, for that is his portion; for who can bring him to see what will be after him?

Wherefore I perceive H7200 that H3588 there is nothing H369 better, H2896 than that H834 a man H120 should rejoice H8055 in his own works; H4639 for H3588 that H1931 is his portion: H2506 for H3588 who H4310 shall bring him H935 to see H7200 what H4100 shall be H1961 after him? H310

Καὶ G2532 (CONJ) εἶδον G1492 (V-2AAI-1S) ὅτι G3754 (CONJ) οὐκ G3756 (PRT-N) ἔστιν G2076 (V-PAI-3S) ἀγαθὸν G18 (A-NSN) εἰ G1487 (COND) μὴ G3361 (PRT-N) ὃ G3739 (R-ASN) εὐφρανθήσεται G2165 (V-FPI-3S) ὁ G3588 (T-NSM) ἄνθρωπος G444 (N-NSM) ἐν G1722 (PREP) ποιήμασιν G4161 (N-DPN) αὐτοῦ, G846 (P-GSM) ὅτι G3754 (CONJ) αὐτὸ G846 (P-NSN) μερὶς G3310 (N-NSF) αὐτοῦ· G846 (P-GSM) ὅτι G3754 (CONJ) τίς G5101 (I-NSM) ἄξει G71 (V-FAI-3S) αὐτὸν G846 (P-ASM) τοῦ G3588 (T-GSN) ἰδεῖν G1492 (V-2AAN) ἐν G1722 (PREP) ᾧ G3739 (R-DSN) ἐὰν G1437 (COND) γένηται G1096 (V-2ADS-3S) μετ’ G3326 (PREP) αὐτόν; G846 (P-ASM)

Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man’s neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Again, I H589 considered H7200 H853 all H3605 travail, H5999 andH853 every H3605 right H3788 work,^§ H4639 that H3588 for this H1931 a man H376 is envied H7068 of his neighbour.^§ H7453 This H2088 is also H1571 vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up.

For H3588 if H518 they fall, H5307 the one H259 will lift up H6965 H853 his fellow: H2270 but woe to him H337 that is alone H259 when he falleth; H5307 for H369 he hath not H369 another H8145 to help him up. H6965

For out of prison he came out to be king; yes, even in his kingdom he was born poor.

For H3588 out of prison H1004 H631 he cometh H3318 to reign; H4427 whereas H3588 also H1571 he that is born H3205 in his kingdom H4438 becometh poor. H7326

G3993 (N-NSM)

There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was—yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

There is no H369 end H7093 of all H3605 the people, H5971 even of all H3605 that H834 have been H1961 before them: H6440 they H314 also H1571 that come after H314 shall H8055 not H3808 rejoice H8055 in him. Surely H3588 this H2088 also H1571 is vanity H1892 and vexation H7475 of spirit. H7307

Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.

Ecclesiastes 5:1 Originally verse 4:17.

Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

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

for H3588 oftentimes H6471 H7227 also H1571 thine own heart H3820 knoweth H3045 that H834 thou thyself H859 likewise H1571 hast cursed H7043 others. H312

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

Be H926 not H408 hasty H926 to go out H3212 of his sight: H6440 stand H5975 not H408 in an evil H7451 thing; H1697 for H3588 he doeth H6213 whatsoever H3605 H834 pleaseth him. H2654

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

Because H3588 to every H3605 purpose H2656 there is H3426 time H6256 and judgment, H4941 therefore H3588 the misery H7451 of man H120 is great H7227 upon him. H5921

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 H834 a sinner H2398 do H6213 evil H7451 an hundred times, H3967 and his days be prolonged, H748 yet H3588 surely H1571 I H589 know H3045 that H834 it shall be H1961 well H2896 with them that fear H3373 God, H430 which H834 fear H3372 before him: H6440

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.

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 H834 I applied H5414 H853 mine heart H3820 to know H3045 wisdom, H2451 and to see H7200 H853 the business H6045 that H834 is done H6213 upon H5921 the earth: H776 (for H3588 also H1571 there is that neither H369 day H3117 nor night H3915 seeth H7200 sleep H8142 with his eyes:) H5869

then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.

then I beheld H7200 H853 all H3605 the work H4639 of God, H430 that H3588 a man H120 cannot H3808 H3201 find out H4672 H853 the work H4639 that H834 is done H6213 under H8478 the sun: H8121 because H7945 though H834 a man H120 labour H5998 to seek it out, H1245 yet he shall H4672 not H3808 find H4672 it; yea farther; H1571 though H518 a wise H2450 man think H559 to know H3045 it, yet shall he H3201 not H3808 be able H3201 to find H4672 it.

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.
