H1931–הוּא–hu

I said in my heart, Come now, I will try thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure. But behold, this also is vanity.

ה֖וּא hu' “it”

For what will man have of all his labour and of the striving of his heart, wherewith he hath wearied himself under the sun?

שֶׁה֥וּא (ה֥וּא) Hu' “he”

For all his days are sorrows, and his travail vexation: even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

There is nothing good for man, but that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

What profit hath he that worketh from that wherein he laboureth?

ה֥וּא hu' “he”

yea also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labour, it is the gift of God.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

I know that whatever God doeth, it shall be for ever; there is nothing to be added to it, nor anything to be taken from it; and God doeth [ergänzt: it], that [ergänzt: men] should fear before him.

ה֚וּא hu' “it”

That which is was long ago, and that which is to be hath already been; and God bringeth back again that which is past.

ה֔וּא Hu' “it”

Who knoweth the spirit of the children of men? Doth it go upwards? and the spirit of the beasts, doth it go downwards to the earth?

הִ֖יא hi' “it”הִ֖יא hi' “it”

And I have seen that there is nothing better than that man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion; for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

ה֖וּא hu' “that”

And I saw all labour, and all success of work, that it is man's jealousy of his neighbour. This also is vanity and pursuit of the wind.

הִ֥יא hi' “it”

There is one [ergänzt: alone] and without a second; also he hath neither son nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches, and [ergänzt: he saith not], For whom then am I labouring, and depriving my soul of good? This also is vanity and a grievous occupation.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an inadvertence. Wherefore should God be wroth at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

הִ֑יא Hi' “it”

Moreover the earth is every way profitable: the king [ergänzt: himself] is dependent upon the field.

ה֑וּא hi' “it”

or those riches perish by some evil circumstance, and if he have begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

הַה֖וּא (ה֖וּא) Hu' “that”

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

ה֥וּא hu' “that”

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and power to eat thereof, and to take his portion and to rejoice in his labour: that is a gift of God.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is frequent among men:

הִ֖יא hi' “it”

one to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honour, and he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and a sore evil.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

That which is hath already been named; and what man is, is known, and that he cannot contend with him that is mightier than he.

ה֣וּא hu' “he”

It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: in that that is the end of all men, and the living taketh it to heart.

ה֖וּא hu' “this”

All this have I tried by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

וְהִ֖יא (הִ֖יא) Hi' “it”

and I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is nets and snares, [ergänzt: and] whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her.

הִ֨יא hi' “she”

And I commended mirth, because there is nothing better for man under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry; for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun.

וְה֞וּא (ה֞וּא) Hu' “that”

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

ה֣וּא hu' “it”
