H0853–אֵת–et

Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor wherein I had labored under the sun.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

There is nothing better for a man [ergänzt: 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.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and, behold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Wherefore I praised the dead that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

yea, better than them both [ergänzt: did I esteem] him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

אֵ֥ת 'et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֵת֙ (אֵת֙) 'Et “<obj.>”

The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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, [ergänzt: saith he], do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

I saw all the living that walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, that stood up in his stead.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou vowest.

אֵ֥ת 'et “<obj.>”

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?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words: but fear thou God.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth [ergänzt: him] in the joy of his heart.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Surely extortion maketh the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroyeth the understanding.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yea, God hath made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything [ergänzt: that shall be] after him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth [ergänzt: his life] in his evil-doing.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth from them all.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Also take not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee;

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”
