H1931–הוּא–hu

I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also was vanity.

ה֖וּא hu' “it”

For what hath a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboreth under the sun?

שֶׁה֥וּא (ה֥וּא) Hu' “he”

For all his days are [supplied: but] sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

There is nothing better for a man [supplied: than] that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth?

ה֥וּא hu' “he”

And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God hath done it, that men should fear before him.

ה֚וּא hu' “it”

That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away.

ה֔וּא Hu' “it”

Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goeth downward to the earth?

הִ֖יא hi' “it”הִ֖יא hi' “it”

Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him [supplied: back] to see what shall be after him?

ה֖וּא hu' “that”

Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

הִ֥יא hi' “it”

There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, [supplied: saith he], do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that is was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

הִ֑יא Hi' “it”

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king [supplied: himself] is served by the field.

ה֑וּא hi' “it”

and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

הַה֖וּא (ה֖וּא) Hu' “that”

Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be comely is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, wherein he laboreth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for this is his portion.

ה֥וּא hu' “that”

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor-this is the gift of God.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy upon men:

הִ֖יא hi' “it”

a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is know what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.

ה֣וּא hu' “he”

It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

ה֖וּא hu' “this”

All this have I proved in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

וְהִ֖יא (הִ֖יא) Hi' “it”

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

הִ֨יא hi' “she”

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that shall abide with him in his labor [supplied: all] the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun.

וְה֞וּא (ה֞וּא) Hu' “that”

For to him that is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

ה֣וּא hu' “it”
