H1931–הוּא–hu

I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

ה֖וּא hu' “it”

For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?

שֶׁה֥וּא (ה֥וּא) Hu' “he”

For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

There is nothing better for a man, than 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 in that wherein he laboureth?

ה֥וּא hu' “he”

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

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

ה֚וּא hu' “it”

That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

ה֔וּא Hu' “it”

Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

הִ֖יא hi' “it”הִ֖יא hi' “it”

Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a 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”

Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

הִ֥יא hi' “it”

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

הִ֑יא Hi' “it”

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

ה֑וּא hi' “it”

But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

הַה֖וּא (ה֖וּא) Hu' “that”

Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

ה֥וּא hu' “that”

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 labour; this is the gift of God.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

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

הִ֖יא hi' “it”

A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that 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 it is an evil disease.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he 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: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

ה֖וּא hu' “this”

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

וְהִ֖יא (הִ֖יא) Hi' “it”

And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

הִ֨יא hi' “she”

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing 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 giveth 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”
