I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

I have seen H7200 H853 all H3605 the works H4639 that are done H6213 under H8478 the sun; H8121 and, behold, H2009 all H3605 is vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307

Then I H589 looked H6437 on all H3605 the works H4639 that my hands H3027 had wrought, H6213 and on the labour H5999 that I had laboured H5998 to do: H6213 and, behold, H2009 all H3605 was vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit, H7307 and H369 there was no H369 profit H3504 under H8478 the sun.

So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Therefore I hated H8130 H853 life; H2416 because H3588 the work H4639 that is wrought H6213 under H8478 the sun H8121 is grievous H7451 unto me: H5921 for H3588 all H3605 is vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307

Καὶ G2532 (CONJ) ἐμίσησα G3404 (V-AAI-1S) σὺν G4862 (PREP) τὴν G3588 (T-ASF) ζωήν, G2222 (N-ASF) ὅτι G3754 (CONJ) πονηρὸν G4190 (A-NSN) ἐπ’ G1909 (PREP) ἐμὲ G1691 (P-1AS) τὸ G3588 (T-NSN) ποίημα G4161 (N-NSN) τὸ G3588 (T-NSN) πεποιημένον G4160 (V-RMP-NSN) ὑπὸ G5259 (PREP) τὸν G3588 (T-ASM) ἥλιον, G2246 (N-ASM) ὅτι G3754 (CONJ) τὰ G3588 (T-NPN) πάντα G3956 (A-NPN) ματαιότης G3153 (N-NSF) καὶ G2532 (CONJ) προαίρεσις πνεύματος.

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
