H9002–/וְ–v

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

וּבֶֽעָמָ֖ל (וּ) u. “and”וְהִנֵּ֨ה (וְ) ve. “and”וּרְע֣וּת (וּ) u. “and”וְאֵ֥ין (וְ) ve. “and”

And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what [ergänzt: can] the man [ergänzt: do] that cometh after the king? [ergänzt: even] that which hath been done long ago.

וְהוֹלֵל֖וֹת (וְ) ve. “and”וְסִכְל֑וּת (וְ) ve. “and”

Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

וְרָאִ֣יתִי (וְ) ve. “and”

The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all.

וְהַכְּסִ֖יל (וְ) ve. “and”

Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then said I in my heart, that this also is vanity.

וְלָ֧מָּה (וְ) ve. “and”

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as the fool!

וּרְע֥וּת (וּ) u. “and”

And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

וּבְרַעְי֖וֹן (וּ) u. “and”

For all his days are [ergänzt: but] sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity.

וָכַ֙עַס֙ (וָ) va. “and”

For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?

וּמִ֥י (וּ) u. “and”

For to the man that pleaseth him [ergänzt: God] giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

וְדַ֖עַת (וְ) ve. “and”וְשִׂמְחָ֑ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְלַחוֹטֶא֩ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלִכְנ֗וֹס (וְ) ve. “and”וּרְע֥וּת (וּ) u. “and”
