H9009–/ה–ha

For every purpose there is a time and a decision, because the sorrow of man is great in him.

הָאָדָ֖ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”

No man has authority over the wind, to keep the wind; or is ruler over the day of his death. In war no man's time is free, and evil will not keep the sinner safe.

הָר֔וּחַ (הָ) ha. “the”הַמָּ֔וֶת (הַ) ha. “<the>”

All this have I seen, and have given my heart to all the work which is done under the sun: there is a time when man has power over man for his destruction.

הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”הָאָדָ֛ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”

Because punishment for an evil work comes not quickly, the minds of the sons of men are fully given to doing evil.

הָרָעָ֖ה (הָ) ha. “the”הָאָדָ֛ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”

Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and his life is long, I am certain that it will be well for those who go in fear of God and are in fear before him.

הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים (הָ) ha. “<of the>”

There is a thing which is to no purpose done on the earth: that there are good men to whom is given the same punishment as those who are evil, and there are evil men who get the reward of the good. I say that this again is to no purpose.

הָאָרֶץ֒ (הָ) ha. “the”הָרְשָׁעִ֔ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַצַּדִּיקִ֑ים (הַ) ha. “<the>”

So I gave praise to joy, because there is nothing better for a man to do under the sun than to take meat and drink and be happy; for that will be with him in his work all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

הַשִּׂמְחָ֔ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

When I gave my mind to the knowledge of wisdom and to seeing the business which is done on the earth (and there are those whose eyes see not sleep by day or by night),

הָ֣עִנְיָ֔ן (הָ֣) ha. “the”הָאָ֑רֶץ (הָ) ha. “the”

Then I saw all the work of God, and that man may not get knowledge of the work which is done under the sun; because, if a man gives hard work to the search he will not get knowledge, and even if the wise man seems to be coming to the end of his search, s

הָאֱלֹהִים֒ (הָ) ha. “<the>”הָאָדָ֗ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂה֙ (הַֽ) ha. “the”הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”הָאָדָ֛ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”הֶֽחָכָם֙ (הֶֽ) he. “the”

All this I took to heart, and my heart saw it all: that the upright and the wise and their works are in the hand of God; and men may not be certain if it will be love or hate; all is to no purpose before them.

הַצַּדִּיקִ֧ים (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַחֲכָמִ֛ים (הַ) ha. “the”הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”הָֽאָדָ֔ם (הָֽ) ha. “<the>”הַכֹּ֖ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Because to all there is one event, to the upright man and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him who makes an offering and to him who makes no offering; as is the good so is the sinner; he who takes an oath is as he who has fear of it.

הַכֹּ֞ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַנִּשְׁבָּ֕ע (הַ) ha. “the”

This is evil in all things which are done under the sun: that there is one fate for all, and the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; while they have life their hearts are foolish, and after that--to the dead.

הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”הָ֠אָדָם (הָ֠) Ha. “<the>”הַמֵּתִֽים׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

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

הַחַיִּ֖ים (הַ) ha. “the”הָאַרְיֵ֖ה (הָ) ha. “the”הַמֵּֽת׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and they no longer have a reward, because there is no memory of them.

הַֽחַיִּ֛ים (הַֽ) ha. “the”וְהַמֵּתִ֞ים (הַ) ha. “the”

Their love and their hate and their envy are now ended; and they have no longer a part for ever in anything which is done under the sun.

הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

Come, take your bread with joy, and your wine with a glad heart. God has taken pleasure in your works.

הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

Have joy with the woman of your love all the days of your foolish life which he gives you under the sun. Because that is your part in life and in your work which you do under the sun.

הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come to all.

הַשֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֵּר֜וֹץ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמִּלְחָמָ֗ה (הַ) ha. “the”

Even man has no knowledge of his time; like fishes taken in an evil net, or like birds taken by deceit, are the sons of men taken in an evil time when it comes suddenly on them.

הָאָדָ֜ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”הָאֲחֻז֖וֹת (הָ) ha. “that”הָֽאָדָ֔ם (הָֽ) ha. “<the>”

This again I have seen under the sun as wisdom and it seemed great to me.

הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”

Now there was in the town a poor, wise man, and he, by his wisdom, kept the town safe. But no one had any memory of that same poor man.

הָעִ֖יר (הָ) ha. “the”הָאִ֥ישׁ (הָ) ha. “the”הַמִּסְכֵּ֖ן (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַהּֽוּא׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength, but the poor man's wisdom is not respected, and his words are not given a hearing.

הַמִּסְכֵּן֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

If the wrath of the ruler is against you, keep in your place; in him who keeps quiet even great sins may be overlooked.

הַמּוֹשֵׁל֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which comes by chance from a ruler:

הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”הַשַּׁלִּֽיט׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

The foolish are placed in high positions, but men of wealth are kept low.

הַסֶּ֔כֶל (הַ) ha. “<the>”
