1: ForH3588 -H0853 allH3605 thisH2088 I consideredH5414 inH0413 my heartH3820 so that I could declareH0952 -H0853 allH3605 this,H2088 thatH0834 the righteous,H6662 and the wise,H2450 and their works [are],H5652 in the handH3027 of God.H0430 EitherH1571 loveH0160 orH1571 hatredH8135 notH0369 knowH3045 PeopleH0120 [by] anythingH3605 [they see] before them.H6440
2: All things [come]H3605 alikeH0834 to all-H3605 event [happens]H4745 oneH0259 to the righteous,H6662 and the wicked-H7563 to the goodH2896 and the clean,H2889 and the unclean-H2931 and to him who sacrifices,H2076 and him whoH0834 not-H0369 does sacrificeH2076 as the is good,H2896 so the [is] sinner-H2398 He who takes an oath,H7650 asH0834 an oathH7621 [he] who fears.H3372
3: This [is]H2088 an evilH7451 in allH3605 thatH0834 is doneH6213 underH8478 the sun,H8121 thatH3588 thing [happens]H4745 oneH0259 to all-H3605 and TrulyH1571 the heartsH3820 of the sonsH1121 of menH0120 are fullH4390 of evil,H7451 and madness [is]H1947 in their heartsH3824 while they live,H2416 and after that [they go]H0310 toH0413 the dead.H4191
4: ButH3588 who [is he]H4310 thatH0834 is joinedH0977 toH0413 allH3605 the livingH2416 there isH3426 hope-H0986 forH3588 a dogH3611 livingH2416 isH1931 betterH2896 thanH4480 a lionH0738 dead.H4191
5: ForH3588 the livingH2416 knowH3045 that they will die-H4191 but the deadH4191 notH0369 knowH3045 nothing,H3972 and noH0369 moreH5750 reward-H7939 forH3588 is forgottenH7911 the memory of them.H2143
6: AlsoH1571 their love,H0160 andH1571 their hatred,H8135 andH1571 their envy,H7068 nowH3528 have perished-H0006 and a shareH2506 notH0369 will they haveH1992 againH5750 foreverH5769 inH3605 anythingH0834 doneH6213 underH8478 the sun.H8121
7: GoH1980 eatH0398 with joy,H8057 your breadH3899 and drinkH8354 with a heart-H3820 merryH2896 your wineH3196 forH3588 alreadyH3528 has acceptedH7521 GodH0430 forH0854 your works.H4639
8: AllH3605 alwaysH6256 let beH1961 your garmentsH0899 white-H3836 and oil.H8081 OnH5921 your headH7218 noH0408 let lack.H2637
9: JoyfullyH7200 LiveH2416 withH5973 the wifeH0802 whomH0834 you loveH0157 allH3605 the daysH3117 of life,H2416 your vain,H1892 whichH0834 He has givenH5414 underH8478 the sun,H8121 allH3605 your daysH3117 of vanity-H1892 forH3588 that [is]H1931 your portionH2506 in lifeH2416 and in the laborH5999 whichH0834 youH0859 performH6001 underH8478 the sun.H8121
10: WhateverH3605 whateverH0834 findsH4672 your handH3027 to do,H6213 with your might-H3581 do [it]H6213 forH3588 [there is] noH0369 work,H4639 or device,H2808 or knowledge,H1847 or wisdom,H2451 in the grave,H7585 whereH0834 youH0859 are goingH1980 there.H8033
11: I returned,H7725 and sawH7200 underH8478 the sun,H8121 thatH3588 [is] notH3808 to the swift,H7031 the raceH4793 norH3808 to the strong,H1368 the battleH4421 andH1571 norH3808 to the wise,H2450 breadH3899 andH1571 norH3808 to men of understanding,H0995 richesH6239 andH1571 norH3808 to men of skill-H3045 favorH2580 butH3588 timeH6256 and chanceH6294 happenH7136 -H0853 to them all.H3605
12: ForH3588 alsoH1571 notH3808 does knowH3045 manH0120 -H0853 his time-H6256 Like fishH1709 takenH0270 in a net,H4686 cruelH7451 and Like birdsH6833 caughtH0270 in a snare-H6341 soH1992 [are] snaredH3369 the sonsH1121 of menH0120 in an time,H6256 evilH7451 when it fallsH5307 upon themH5921 suddenly.H6597
13: AlsoH1571 thisH2090 I have seenH7200 wisdomH2451 underH8478 the sun,H8121 and greatH1419 it [seemed]H1931 to me.H0413
14: [There was] a city,H5892 littleH6996 and with menH0582 fewH4592 and cameH0935 against itH0413 a kingH4428 greatH1419 and besiegedH5437 itH0853 and builtH1129 around itH5921 snaresH4685 great.H1419
15: And there was foundH4672 a man,H0376 poorH4542 wiseH2450 and deliveredH4422 heH1931 -H0853 the city-H5892 by his wisdomH2451 and yet oneH0120 noH3808 rememberedH2142 -H0853 manH0376 poorH4542 that.H1931
16: And saidH0559 I,H0589 [is] betterH2896 WisdomH2451 than strength.H1369 And nevertheless wisdomH2451 of the poor manH4542 [is] despised,H0959 and his wordsH1697 notH0369 are heard.H8085
17: WordsH1697 of the wiseH2450 [spoken] quietlyH5183 [should be] heardH8085 Rather than the shoutH2201 of a rulerH4910 of fools.H3684
18: [is] betterH2896 WisdomH2451 than weaponsH3627 of war,H7128 but sinnerH2398 oneH0259 destroysH0006 goodH2896 much.H7235
