H1931–הוּא–hu

I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with mirth: therefore enjoy pleasure;" and, behold, this also was vanity.

ה֖וּא hu' “it”

For what has a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?

שֶׁה֥וּא (ה֥וּא) Hu' “he”

For all his days are sorrows, and his travail is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

There is nothing better for a man 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.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?

ה֥וּא hu' “he”

Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.

ה֚וּא hu' “it”

That which is has been long ago, and that which is to be has been long ago: and God seeks again that which is passed away.

ה֔וּא Hu' “it”

Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?"

הִ֖יא hi' “it”הִ֖יא hi' “it”

Therefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who can bring him to see what will be after him?

ה֖וּא hu' “that”

Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man's neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

הִ֥יא hi' “it”

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. For whom then, do I labor, and deprive my soul of enjoyment? This also is vanity, yes, it is a miserable business.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

Don't allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don't protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

הִ֑יא Hi' “it”

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

ה֑וּא hi' “it”

Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.

הַה֖וּא (ה֖וּא) Hu' “that”

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.

ה֥וּא hu' “that”

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.

הִֽיא׃ Hi' “it”

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

הִ֖יא hi' “it”

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.

הֽוּא׃ Hu' “it”

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.

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 should take this to heart.

ה֖וּא hu' “this”

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

וְהִ֖יא (הִ֖יא) Hi' “it”

I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.

הִ֨יא hi' “she”

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.

וְה֞וּא (ה֞וּא) Hu' “that”

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

ה֣וּא hu' “it”
