H9009–/ה–ha

Then I saw all the works which my hands had made, and everything I had been working to do; and I saw that all was to no purpose and desire for wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

הַכֹּ֥ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And I went again in search of wisdom and of foolish ways. What may the man do who comes after the king? The thing which he has done before.

הָאָדָ֗ם (הָ) ha. “[is] the”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then I saw that wisdom is better than foolish ways--as the light is better than the dark.

הַסִּכְל֑וּת (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָא֖וֹר (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the foolish man goes walking in the dark; but still I saw that the same event comes to them all.

הֶֽחָכָם֙ (הֶֽ) he. “the”וְהַכְּסִ֖יל (הַ) ha. “the”

Then said I in my heart: As it comes to the foolish man, so will it come to me; so why have I been wise overmuch? Then I said in my heart: This again is to no purpose.

הַכְּסִיל֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

Of the wise man, as of the foolish man, there is no memory for ever, seeing that those who now are will have gone from memory in the days to come. See how death comes to the wise as to the foolish!

הַכְּסִ֖יל (הַ) ha. “the”הַיָּמִ֤ים (הַ) hai. “the”הַבָּאִים֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַכֹּ֣ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הֶחָכָ֖ם (הֶ) he. “the”הַכְּסִֽיל׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind.

הַ֣חַיִּ֔ים (הַ֣) ha. “<the>”הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה (הַֽ) ha. “the”הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”הַכֹּ֥ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Hate had I for all my work which I had done, because the man who comes after me will have its fruits.

הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”

And who is to say if that man will be wise or foolish? But he will have power over all my work which I have done and in which I have been wise under the sun. This again is to no purpose.

הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”

So my mind was turned to grief for all the trouble I had taken and all my wisdom under the sun.

הֶ֣עָמָ֔ל (הֶ֣) he. “the”הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

What does a man get for all his work, and for the weight of care with which he has done his work under the sun?

הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

There is nothing better for a man than taking meat and drink, and having delight in his work. This again I saw was from the hand of God.

הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

To the man with whom he is pleased, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of getting goods together and storing up wealth, to give to him in whom God has pleasure. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.

הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים (הָֽ) ha. “<the>”

For everything there is a fixed time, and a time for every business under the sun.

הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

What profit has the worker in the work which he does?

הָֽעוֹשֶׂ֔ה (הָֽ) ha. “the”

I saw the work which God has put on the sons of man.

הָֽעִנְיָ֗ן (הָֽ) ha. “the”הָאָדָ֖ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”

He has made everything right in its time; but he has made their hearts without knowledge, so that man is unable to see the works of God, from the first to the last.

הַכֹּ֥ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָעֹלָם֙ (הָ) ha. “<the>”הָאָדָ֗ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂ֛ה (הַֽ) ha. “the”הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

And for every man to take food and drink, and have joy in all his work, is a reward from God.

הָאָדָם֙ (הָ) ha. “<the>”

I am certain that whatever God does will be for ever. No addition may be made to it, nothing may be taken from it; and God has done it so that man may be in fear before him.

הָאֱלֹהִים֙ (הָ) ha. “<the>”וְהָאֱלֹהִ֣ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

Whatever is has been before, and what is to be is now; because God makes search for the things which are past.

וְהָאֱלֹהִ֖ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

And again, I saw under the sun, in the place of the judges, that evil was there; and in the place of righteousness, that evil was there.

הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמִּשְׁפָּט֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָרֶ֔שַׁע (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַצֶּ֖דֶק (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָרָֽשַׁע׃ (הָ) ha. “<the>”

I said in my heart, God will be judge of the good and of the bad; because a time for every purpose and for every work has been fixed by him.

הַצַּדִּיק֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָ֣רָשָׁ֔ע (הָ֣) ha. “the”הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה (הַֽ) ha. “<the>”

I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, so that God may put them to the test and that they may see themselves as beasts.

הָאָדָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים (הָ) ha. “<the>”

Because the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same. As is the death of one so is the death of the other, and all have one spirit. Man is not higher than the beasts; because all is to no purpose.

הָאָדָ֜ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַבְּהֵמָ֗ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”הָאָדָ֤ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַבְּהֵמָה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַכֹּ֖ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”

All go to one place, all are of the dust, and all will be turned to dust again.

הַכֹּ֥ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַכֹּל֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הֶֽעָפָ֔ר (הֶֽ) he. “the”וְהַכֹּ֖ל (הַ) ha. “<the>”הֶעָפָֽר׃ (הֶ) he. “the”
