H5998–עָמַל–a.mal

Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth in vain:

עָמְל֣וּ 'a.me.Lu “they have toiled”

The appetite of the labourer laboureth for him, for his mouth urgeth him on.

עָ֣מְלָה 'A.me.lah “it labors”

What profit hath man of all his labour wherewith he laboureth under the sun?

שֶֽׁיַּעֲמֹ֖ל (יַּעֲמֹ֖ל) i.ya.'a.Mol “he toils”

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that it had cost me to do [supplied: them]; and behold, all was vanity and pursuit of the wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

שֶׁעָמַ֣לְתִּי (עָמַ֣לְתִּי) 'a.Mal.ti “I had toiled”

And who knoweth whether he will be a wise [supplied: man] or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour at which I have laboured, and wherein I have been wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

שֶֽׁעָמַ֥לְתִּי (עָמַ֥לְתִּי) 'a.Mal.ti “I have toiled”

Then I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour wherewith I had laboured under the sun.

שֶׁעָמַ֖לְתִּי (עָמַ֖לְתִּי) 'a.Mal.ti “I have toiled”

For there is a man whose labour hath been with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skill, and who leaveth it to a man that hath not laboured therein, to be his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

עָֽמַל־ 'a.mal- “he toiled”

And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came so doth he go away, and what profit hath he, in having laboured for the wind?

שֶֽׁיַּעֲמֹ֖ל (יַּעֲמֹ֖ל) ya.'a.Mol “he will toil”

Behold what I have seen good and comely: [supplied: it is] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labour wherewith [supplied: man] laboureth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for that is his portion.

שֶׁיַּעֲמֹ֣ל (יַּעֲמֹ֣ל) ya.'a.Mol “someone will toil”

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.

יַעֲמֹ֧ל ya.'a.Mol “he toils”

And Jehovah said, Thou hast pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

עָמַ֥לְתָּ 'a.Mal.ta “you had toiled”
