H9023–הוּ–hu

Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.

עֲמָל֣וֹ׀ (וֹ) o “his”חַיָּ֛יו (ו) v “his”חֶלְקֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

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

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

For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life; because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.

חַיָּ֑יו (ו) v “his”לִבּֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

לְנַפְשׁ֣וֹ׀ (וֹ) o “his”

If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:

שָׁנָ֗יו (ו) v “his”וְנַפְשׁוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “his”

for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.

שְׁמ֥וֹ (וֹ) o “its”

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

לְפִ֑יהוּ (הוּ) hu “his”

Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.

שְׁמ֔וֹ (וֹ) o “its”

For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

הֶבְל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

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 should take this to heart.

לִבּֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

מֵֽרֵאשִׁית֑וֹ (וֹ) o “its”

All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evil-doing.

בְּצִדְק֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”בְּרָעָתֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

פָּנָ֔יו (ו) v “his”פָּנָ֖יו (ו) v “his”

Don't be hasty to go out of his presence. Don't persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,

מִפָּנָיו֙ (ו֙) v “him”

There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

בְּעָלָֽיו׃ (ו) v “its”

Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

מִלְּפָנָֽיו׃ (ו) v “him”

Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

בַעֲמָל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “his”חַיָּ֛יו (ו) v “his”

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

בְּעֵינָ֖יו (ו) v “his”

For man also doesn't know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.

עִתּ֗וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

בְּחָכְמָת֑וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

וּדְבָרָ֖יו (ו) v “his”

A wise man's heart is at his right hand, but a fool's heart at his left.

לִֽימִינ֔וֹ (וֹ) o “his”לִשְׂמֹאלֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “his”

Yes also, when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.

לִבּ֣וֹ (וֹ) o “his”

The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

פִ֖יהוּ (הוּ) hu “his”פִּ֔יהוּ (הוּ) hu “his”

Yes, they shall be afraid of heights, And terrors will be in the way; And the almond tree shall blossom, And the grasshopper shall be a burden, And desire shall fail; Because man goes to his everlasting home, And the mourners go about the streets:

עוֹלָמ֔וֹ (וֹ) o “its”
