9: WhatH4100 profitH3504 has the workerH6213 from that in whichH0834 heH1931 labors?H6001

10: I have seenH7200 -H0853 the task,H6045 thatH0834 has givenH5414 God-givenH0430 the sonsH1121 of menH0120 are to be occupiedH6031

11: -H0853 EverythingH3605 He has madeH6213 beautifulH3303 in its time.H6256 AlsoH1571 -H0853 eternityH5769 He has putH5414 in their hearts,H3820 notH1097 except thatH0834 noH3808 can find outH4672 oneH0120 -H0853 the workH4639 thatH0834 doesH6213 GodH0430 from beginningH7218 and toH5704 end.H5490

12: I knowH3045 thatH3588 nothing [is]H0369 betterH2896 butH3588 thanH0518 to rejoice,H8055 and to doH6213 goodH2896 in their lives.H2416

13: And alsoH1571 everyH3605 manH0120 that should eatH0398 and drink,H8354 and enjoyH7200 the goodH2896 of allH3605 his labor,H5999 the giftH4991 of GodH0430 it [is].H1931

14: I knowH3045 that,H3588 allH3605 whateverH0834 does,H6213 GodH0430 itH1931 shall beH1961 forever-H5769 to itH5921 NothingH0369 can be addedH3254 and from itH4480 nothingH0369 takenH1639 and GodH0430 does [it]H6213 that men should fearH3372 before Him.H6440

15: WhatH4100 has beenH1961 already-H3528 isH1931 and whatH0834 is to be-H1961 alreadyH3528 has beenH1961 and GodH0430 requires an accountH1245 -H0853 of what is past.H7291

16: MoreoverH5750 I sawH7200 underH8478 the sunH8121 [In] the placeH4725 of judgment,H4941 there-H8033 Wickedness [was]H7562 and [in] the placeH4725 of righteousness,H6664 thereH8033 Iniquity [was].H7562

17: SaidH0559 IH0589 in my heart,H3820 -H0853 the righteousH6662 andH0853 the wicked-H7563 shall judgeH8199 GodH0430 forH3588 [there is] a timeH6256 for everyH3605 purposeH2656 forH5921 everyH3605 workH4639 there.H8033

18: SaidH0559 IH0589 in my heartH3820 ConcerningH5921 the conditionH1700 of the sonsH1121 of men,H0120 tests themH1305 GodH0430 that they may seeH7200 that they [are]H1992 [like] animalsH0929 theyH1992 themselves.H1992

19: ForH3588 what happens toH4745 the sonsH1121 of menH0120 and happens toH4745 animals-H0929 and befallsH4745 one [thing]H0259 as dies,H4194 this [one]H2088 soH3651 diesH4194 this [one]-H2088 and breath-H7307 oneH0259 surely they all haveH3605 and advantageH4195 manH0120 overH4480 animals,H0929 has noH0369 forH3588 allH3605 [is] vanity.H1892

20: AllH3605 goH1980 toH0413 place-H4725 oneH0259 allH3605 areH1961 fromH4480 the dust,H6083 and allH3605 returnH7725 toH0413 dust.H6083

21: WhoH4310 knowsH3045 the spiritH7307 of the sonsH1121 of menH0120 which goesH5927 itH1931 upward,H4605 and the spiritH7307 of the animalH0929 which goesH3381 itH1931 downH4295 to the earth?H0776

22: so I perceivedH7200 thatH3588 nothing [is]H0369 better,H2896 than thatH0834 should rejoiceH8055 a manH0120 in his own works-H4639 forH3588 that [is]H1931 his heritage.H2506 ForH3588 whoH4310 can bring himH0935 to seeH7200 whatH4100 will happenH1961 after him.H0310
