H9033–וֹ–o

I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly: for what can the king's successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.

עָשֽׂוּהוּ׃ (הוּ) hu “it”

I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who comes after me.

שֶׁ֣אַנִּיחֶ֔נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “it”

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

בּוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “it”יִתְּנֶ֣נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “it”

I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

בּֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “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.

עָלָיו֙ (ו֙) v “it”וּמִמֶּ֖נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “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?

יְבִיאֶ֙נּוּ֙ (נּוּ֙) nu “him”אַחֲרָֽיו׃ (ו) v “him”

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.

ל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up.

וְאִ֣יל֗וֹ (וֹ) o “him”לַהֲקִימֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “him”

If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

יִתְקְפוֹ֙ (וֹ֙) o “him”נֶגְדּ֑וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

I saw all the living who walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the other, who succeeded him.

תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ (ו) v “him”

There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was--yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

ב֑וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

When you vow a vow to God, don't defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.

לְשַׁלְּמ֔וֹ (וֹ) o “it”

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

ל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?

ל֔וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

ל֥וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

ל֣וֹ (וֹ) o “him”וְהִשְׁלִיט֨וֹ (וֹ) o “him”מִמֶּ֙נּוּ֙ (נּוּ֙) nu “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.

ל֣וֹ (וֹ) o “him”יַשְׁלִיטֶ֤נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “him”מִמֶּ֔נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “it”יֹֽאכֲלֶ֑נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “it”

If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:

לּ֑וֹ (וֹ) o “him”מִמֶּ֖נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “him”

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.

מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ (נּוּ) nu “him”

For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

אַחֲרָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked?

עִוְּתֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “it”

In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him.

אַחֲרָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

That which is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it out?

יִמְצָאֶֽנּוּ׃ (נּוּ) nu “it”

for the king's word is supreme. Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"

ל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.

עָלָֽיו׃ (ו) v “him”
