For what does a man have of all his labor and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?

For H3588 what H4100 hath H1933 man H120 of all H3605 his labour, H5999 and of the vexation H7475 of his heart, H3820 wherein he H1931 hath laboured H6001 under H8478 the sun? H8121

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

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.

I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

I have seen H7200 H853 the travail, H6045 which H834 God H430 hath given H5414 to the sons H1121 of men H120 to be exercised H6031 in it.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

He hath made H6213 H853 every H3605 thing beautiful H3303 in his time: H6256 also H1571 he hath set H5414 H853 the world H5769 in their heart, H3820 so that H1097 H834 no H3808 man H120 can find out H4672 H853 the work H4639 that H834 God H430 maketh H6213 from the beginning H7218 to H5704 the end.

Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

I said in my heart, “As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

I H589 said H559 in mine heart H3820 concerning H5921 the estate H1700 of the sons H1121 of men, H120 that God H430 might manifest them,^§ H1305 and that they might see H7200 that they H1992 themselves H1992 are beasts. H929

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.

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

In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him.

In the day H3117 of prosperity H2896 be H1961 joyful, H2896 but in the day H3117 of adversity H7451 consider: H7200 God H430 also H1571 hath set^§ H6213 H853 the one H2088 over against H5980 the other, H2088 to H5921 the end H1700 that man H120 should find H4672 nothing H3808 H3972 after him. H310

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

All this I have seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.

H853 All H3605 this H2088 have I seen, H7200 and applied H5414 H853 my heart H3820 unto every H3605 work H4639 that H834 is done H6213 under H8478 the sun: H8121 there is a time H6256 wherein H834 one man H120 ruleth H7980 over another H120 to his own hurt. H7451

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Because H834 sentence H6599 against an evil H7451 work H4639 is H6213 not H369 executed H6213 speedily, H4120 therefore H5921 H3651 the heart H3820 of the sons H1121 of men H120 is fully set H4390 in them to do H6213 evil. H7451

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 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.
