H9023–הוּ–hu

Words of Lemuel a king, a declaration that his mother taught him:

אִמּֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

He drinketh, and forgetteth his poverty, And his misery he remembereth not again.

רִישׁ֑וֹ (וֹ) o “his”וַ֝עֲמָל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

What advantage `is' to man by all his labour that he laboureth at under the sun?

עֲמָל֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

Also, the sun hath risen, and the sun hath gone in, and unto its place panting it is rising there.

מְקוֹמ֔וֹ (וֹ) o “its”

The wise! -- his eyes `are' in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all;

עֵינָ֣יו (ו) v “his”בְּרֹאשׁ֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

For there is a man whose labour `is' in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity, and to a man who hath not laboured therein he giveth it -- his portion! Even this `is' vanity and a great evil.

שֶׁעֲמָל֛וֹ (וֹ) o “his”חֶלְק֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

For what hath been to a man by all his labour, and by the thought of his heart that he laboured at under the sun?

עֲמָל֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”לִבּ֑וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

For all his days are sorrows, and his travail sadness; even at night his heart hath not lain down; this also `is' vanity.

יָמָ֣יו (ו) v “his”עִנְיָנ֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”לִבּ֑וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

There is nothing good in a man who eateth, and hath drunk, and hath shewn his soul good in his labour. This also I have seen that it `is' from the hand of God.

נַפְשׁ֛וֹ (וֹ) o “his”בַּעֲמָל֑וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

For to a man who `is' good before Him, He hath given wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; and to a sinner He hath given travail, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good before God. Even this `is' vanity and vexation of spirit.

לְפָנָ֔יו (ו) v “him”

The whole He hath made beautiful in its season; also, that knowledge He hath put in their heart without which man findeth not out the work that God hath done from the beginning even unto the end.

בְעִתּ֑וֹ (וֹ) o “its”

I have known that there is no good for them except to rejoice and to do good during their life,

בְּחַיָּֽיו׃ (ו) v “his”

yea, even every man who eateth and hath drunk and seen good by all his labour, it `is' a gift of God.

עֲמָל֑וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

I have known that all that God doth is to the age, to it nothing is to be added, and from it nothing is to be withdrawn; and God hath wrought that they do fear before Him.

מִלְּפָנָֽיו׃ (ו) v “him”

And I have seen that there is nothing better than that man rejoice in his works, for it `is' his portion; for who doth bring him in to look on that which is after him?

בְּֽמַעֲשָׂ֔יו (ו) v “his”חֶלְק֑וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even this `is' vanity and vexation of spirit.

מֵרֵעֵ֑הוּ (הוּ) hu “his”

The fool is clasping his hands, and eating his own flesh:

יָדָ֔יו (ו) v “his”בְּשָׂרֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother he hath not, and there is no end to all his labour! His eye also is not satisfied with riches, and `he saith not', `For whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good?' This also is vanity, it is a sad travail.

עֲמָל֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”עֵינ֖וֹ (וֹ) v “his”

For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but wo to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up!

חֲבֵר֑וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

For from a house of prisoners he hath come out to reign, for even in his own kingdom he hath been poor.

בְּמַלְכוּת֖וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit `is' to its possessor except the sight of his eyes?

עֵינָֽיו׃ (ו) v “his”

There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil.

לִבְעָלָ֖יו (ו) v “its”לְרָעָתֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

And that wealth hath been lost in an evil business, and he hath begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand!

בְּיָד֖וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turneth back to go as he came, and he taketh not away anything of his labour, that doth go in his hand.

אִמּ֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”בַעֲמָל֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”בְּיָדֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

Also all his days in darkness he consumeth, and sadness, and wrath, and sickness abound.

יָמָ֖יו (ו) v “his”וְחָלְי֥וֹ (וֹ) o “his”
