There is
H7451
an evil
H7200
which I have seen
H8121
under the sun,
H7227
and it is heavy
H120
on men:
2
H376
a man
H430
to whom God
H5414
gives
H6239
riches,
H6239
wealth,
H3519
and honor,
H2638
so that he lacks
H5315
nothing for his soul
H183
of all that he desires,
H430
yet God
H7980
gives him no power
H398
to eat
H376
of it, but an alien
H398
eats
H1892
it. This is vanity,
H7451
and it is an evil
H2483
disease.
3
H376
If a man
H3205
fathers
H3967
a hundred
H2421
children, and lives
H7227
many
H8141
years,
H3117
so that the days
H8141
of his years
H7227
are many,
H5315
but his soul
H7646
is not filled
H2896
with good,
H6900
and moreover he has no burial;
H559
I say,
H5309
that a stillborn
H2896
child is better than he:
4
H935
for it comes
H1892
in vanity,
H3212
and departs
H2822
in darkness,
H8034
and its name
H3680
is covered
H2822
with darkness.
5
H7200
Moreover it has not seen
H8121
the sun
H3045
nor known
H2088
it. This
H5183
has rest
H2088
rather than the other.
6
H432
Yes, though
H2421
he live
H505
a thousand
H8141
years
H6471
twice
H7200
told, and yet fails to enjoy
H2896
good,
H1980
don't all go
H259
to one
H4725
place?
7
H5999
All the labor
H120
of man
H6310
is for his mouth,
H5315
and yet the appetite
H4390
is not filled.
8
H2450
For what advantage has the wise
H3148
more
H3684
than the fool?
H6041
What has the poor
H3045
man, that knows
H1980
how to walk
H2416
before the living?
9
H2896
Better
H4758
is the sight
H5869
of the eyes
H1980
than the wandering
H5315
of the desire.
H1892
This also is vanity
H7469
and a chasing
H7307
after wind.
10
H7121
Whatever has been, its name
H3528
was given long ago;
H3045
and it is known
H120
what man
H3201
is; neither can
H1777
he contend
H8623
with him who is mightier than he.
