H0853–אֵת–et

and I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is nets and snares, [supplied: and] whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Only see this which I have found: that God made man upright, but they have sought out many devices.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

There is no man who hath control over the spirit to retain the spirit; and no one hath control over the day of death; and there is no discharge in that war, neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time when man ruleth man to his hurt.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And I commended mirth, because there is nothing better for man under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry; for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes),

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

then I saw that all [supplied: is] the work of God, [supplied: and] that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however man may labour to seek [supplied: it] out, yet doth he not find [supplied: it]; and even, if a wise [supplied: man] think to know [supplied: it], he shall not be able to find [supplied: it] out.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For all this I laid to my heart and [supplied: indeed] to investigate all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; man knoweth neither love nor hatred: all is before them.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Go, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God hath already accepted thy works.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to the intelligent, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are taken with the snare, like them are the children of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and encompassed it, and built great bulwarks against it:

אֹתָ֔הּ (אֹתָ֔) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

and there was found in it a poor wise man, who by his wisdom delivered the city; but no man remembered that poor man.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh life merry; but money answereth everything.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for the bird of the air will carry the voice, and that which hath wings will tell the matter.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, how the bones [supplied: grow] in the womb of her that is with child, even so thou knowest not the work of God who maketh all.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Now the light is sweet, and pleasant is it to the eyes to see the sun;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

but if a man live many years, [supplied: and] rejoice in them all, yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many: all that cometh is vanity.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, of which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; and he pondered, and sought out, [supplied: and] set in order many proverbs.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Let us hear the end of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole of man.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Look not upon me, because I am black; Because the sun hath looked upon me. My mother's children were angry with me: They made me keeper of the vineyards; Mine own vineyard have I not kept.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

If thou know not, thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' booths.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”
