as the waters cover the sea.

00006 Ecc _ 07 _ 07 6 Surely oppression <06233 <osheq> maketh a

wise man <02450 chakam> mad <01984 halal> (8779); and a gift

<04979 mattanah> destroyeth <{00006} >abad> (8762) the heart

<03820 leb>.

00006 Ecc _ 03 _ 06 A time <06256 <eth> to get <01245 baqash>

(8763), and a time <06256 <eth> to lose <{00006} >abad> (8763);

a time <06256 <eth> to keep <08104 shamar> (8800), and a time

<06256 <eth> to cast away <07993 shalak> (8687);

00006 Ecc _ 05 _ 14 But those riches <06239 <osher> perish

<{00006} >abad> (8804) by evil <07451 ra<> travail <06045

<inyan>: and he begetteth <03205 yalad> (8689) a son <01121 ben>,

and there is nothing <03972 m@uwmah> in his hand <03027 yad>.

00006 Ecc _ 09 _ 18 Wisdom <02451 chokmah> is better <02896

towb> than weapons <03627 k@liy> of war <07128 q@rab>: but one

<00259 >echad> sinner <02398 chata>> (8802) destroyeth <{00006}

>abad> (8762) much <07235 rabah> (8687) good <02896 towb>.

00006 Ecc _ 09 _ 06 Also their love <00160 >ahabah>, and their

hatred <08135 sin>ah>, and their envy <07068 qin>ah>, is now

<03528 k@bar> perished <{00006} >abad> (8804); neither have they

any more a portion <02506 cheleq> for ever <05769 <owlam> in any

thing that is done <06213 <asah> (8738) under the sun <08121

shemesh>.

00006 Ecc _ 07 _ 15 All things have I seen <07200 ra>ah> (8804)

in the days <03117 yowm> of my vanity <01892 hebel>: there is

<03426 yesh> a just <06662 tsaddiyq> man that perisheth <{00006}

>abad> (8802) in his righteousness <06664 tsedeq>, and there is

a wicked <07563 rasha<> man that prolongeth <00748 >arak> (8688)

his life in his wickedness <07451 ra<>.

00035 Ecc _ 12 _ 05 Also when they shall be afraid <03372 yare>>

(8799) of that which is high <01364 gaboahh>, and fears <02849

chathchath> shall be in the way <01870 derek>, and the almond

tree <08247 shaqed> shall flourish <05006 na>ats> (8686), and

the grasshopper <02284 chagab> shall be a burden <05445 cabal>

(8691), and desire <{00035} >abiyownah> shall fail <06565 parar>

(8686): because man <00120 >adam> goeth <01980 halak> (8802) to

his long <05769 <owlam> home <01004 bayith>, and the mourners

<05594 caphad> (8802) go about <05437 cabab> (8804) the streets

<07784 shuwq>:

00060 Ecc _ 07 _ 04 The heart <03820 leb> of the wise <02450

chakam> is in the house <01004 bayith> of mourning <{00060}

>ebel>; but the heart <03820 leb> of fools <03684 k@ciyl> is in

the house <01004 bayith> of mirth <08057 simchah>.

00060 Ecc _ 07 _ 02 It is better <02896 towb> to go <03212

yalak> (8800) to the house <01004 bayith> of mourning <{00060}

>ebel>, than to go <03212 yalak> (8800) to the house <01004

bayith> of feasting <04960 mishteh>: for <00834 >aher> that is

the end <05490 cowph> of all men <00120 >adam>; and the living

<02416 chay> will lay <05414 nathan> (8799) it to his heart

<03820 leb>.

00068 Ecc _ 10 _ 09 Whoso removeth <05265 naca<> (8688) stones

<{00068} >eben> shall be hurt <06087 <atsab> (8735) therewith;

and he that cleaveth <01234 baqa<> (8802) wood <06086 <ets>

shall be endangered <05533 cakan> (8735) thereby.

00068 Ecc _ 03 _ 05 A time <06256 <eth> to cast away <07993

from embracing <02263 chabaq> (8763);

00120 Ecc _ 01 _ 03 What profit <03504 yithrown> hath a man

<{00120} >adam> of all his labour <05999 <amal> which he taketh

<05998 <amal> (8799) under the sun <08121 shemesh>?

00120 Ecc _ 06 _ 07 6 All the labour <05999 <amal> of man

<{00120} >adam> is for his mouth <06310 peh>, and yet the

appetite <05315 nephesh> is not filled <04390 male>> (8735).

00120 Ecc _ 06 _ 01 6 There is <03426 yesh> an evil <07451 ra<>

which I have seen <07200 ra>ah> (8804) under the sun <08121

shemesh>, and it is common <07227 rab> among men <{00120} >adam>:

00120 Ecc _ 07 _ 20 For there is not a just <06662 tsaddiyq> man

<{00120} >adam> upon earth <00776 >erets>, that doeth <06213

<asah> (8799) good <02896 towb>, and sinneth <02398 chata>>

(8799) not.

00120 Ecc _ 06 _ 11 6 Seeing there be <03426 yesh> many <07235

rabah> (8687) things <01697 dabar> that increase <07235 rabah>

(8688) vanity <01892 hebel>, what is man <{00120} >adam> the

better <03148 yowther>?

00120 Ecc _ 08 _ 06 6 Because to every purpose <02656 chephets>

there is <03426 yesh> time <06256 <eth> and judgment <04941

mishpat>, therefore the misery <07451 ra<> of man <{00120}

>adam> is great <07227 rab> upon him.

00120 Ecc _ 03 _ 10 I have seen <07200 ra>ah> (8804) the travail

<06045 <inyan>, which God <00430 >elohiym> hath given <05414

nathan> (8804) to the sons <01121 ben> of men <{00120} >adam> to

be exercised <06031 <anah> (8800) in it.

00120 Ecc _ 10 _ 14 A fool <05530 cakal> also is full <07235

rabah> (8686) of words <01697 dabar>: a man <{00120} >adam>

cannot tell <03045 yada<> (8799) what shall be; and what shall

be after <00310 >achar> him, who can tell <05046 nagad> (8686)

him?

00120 Ecc _ 02 _ 22 For what hath <01933 hava>> (8802) man

<{00120} >adam> of all his labour <05999 <amal>, and of the

vexation <07475 ra<yown> of his heart <03820 leb>, wherein

<01931 huw>> he hath laboured <06001 <amel> under the sun <08121

shemesh>?

00120 Ecc _ 02 _ 18 Yea, I hated <08130 sane>> (8804) all my

labour <05999 <amal> which I had taken <06001 <amel> under the

sun <08121 shemesh>: because I should leave <03240 yanach>

(8686) it unto the man <{00120} >adam> that shall be after

<00310 >achar> me.

00120 Ecc _ 03 _ 13 And also that every man <{00120} >adam>

should eat <00398 >akal> (8799) and drink <08354 shathah> (8804),

and enjoy <07200 ra>ah> (8804) the good <02896 towb> of all his

labour <05999 <amal>, it is the gift <04991 mattath> of God

<00430 >elohiym>.

00120 Ecc _ 12 _ 13 6 Let us hear <08085 shama<> (8799) the

conclusion <05490 cowph> of the whole matter <01697 dabar>: Fear

<03372 yare>> (8798) God <00430 >elohiym>, and keep <08104

shamar> (8798) his commandments <04687 mitsvah>: for this is the

whole duty of man <{00120} >adam>.

00120 Ecc _ 06 _ 10 That which hath been is named <07121 qara>>

(8738) <08034 shem> already <03528 k@bar>, and it is known

<03045 yada<> (8737) that it is man <{00120} >adam>: neither may

<03201 yakol> (8799) he contend <01777 diyn> (8800) with him

that is mightier <08623 taqqiyph> than he.

00120 Ecc _ 07 _ 29 Lo <07200 ra>ah> (8798), this only <00905

bad> have I found <04672 matsa>> (8804), that God <00430

>elohiym> hath made <06213 <asah> (8804) man <{00120} >adam>

upright <03477 yashar>; but they have sought out <01245 baqash>

(8765) many <07227 rab> inventions <02810 chishshabown>.

00120 Ecc _ 03 _ 21 Who knoweth <03045 yada<> (8802) the spirit

<07307 ruwach> of man <01121 ben> <{00120} >adam> that goeth

<05927 <alah> (8802) upward <04605 ma<al>, and the spirit <07307

ruwach> of the beast <00929 b@hemah> that goeth <03381 yarad>

(8802) downward <04295 mattah> to the earth <00776 >erets>?

00120 Ecc _ 07 _ 28 Which yet my soul <05315 nephesh> seeketh

<01245 baqash> (8765), but I find <04672 matsa>> (8804) not: one

<00259 >echad> man <{00120} >adam> among a thousand <00505

>eleph> have I found <04672 matsa>> (8804); but a woman <00802

>ishshah> among all those have I not found <04672 matsa>> (8804).

00120 Ecc _ 09 _ 15 Now there was found <04672 matsa>> (8804) in

it a poor <04542 micken> wise <02450 chakam> man <00376 >iysh>,

and he by his wisdom <02451 chokmah> delivered <04422 malat>

(8765) the city <05892 <iyr>; yet no man <{00120} >adam>

remembered <02142 zakar> (8804) that same poor <04542 micken>

man <00376 >iysh>.

00120 Ecc _ 08 _ 11 Because sentence <06599 pithgam> against an

evil <07451 ra<> work <04639 ma<aseh> is not executed <06213

<asah> (8738) speedily <04120 m@herah>, therefore the heart

<03820 leb> of the sons <01121 ben> of men <{00120} >adam> is

fully set <04390 male>> (8804) in them to do <06213 <asah>

(8800) evil <07451 ra<>.

00120 Ecc _ 03 _ 18 I said <00559 >amar> (8804) in mine heart

<03820 leb> concerning the estate <01700 dibrah> of the sons

<01121 ben> of men <{00120} >adam>, that God <00430 >elohiym>

might manifest <01305 barar> (8800) them, and that they might

see <07200 ra>ah> (8800) that they <01992 hem> themselves are

beasts <00929 b@hemah>.

00120 Ecc _ 08 _ 09 6 All this have I seen <07200 ra>ah> (8804),

and applied <05414 nathan> (8800) my heart <03820 leb> unto

every work <04639 ma<aseh> that is done <06213 <asah> (8738)

under the sun <08121 shemesh>: there is a time <06256 <eth>

wherein one man <{00120} >adam> ruleth <07980 shalat> (8804)

over another to his own hurt <07451 ra<>.

00120 Ecc _ 03 _ 22 Wherefore I perceive <07200 ra>ah> (8804)

that there is nothing better <02896 towb>, than that a man

<{00120} >adam> should rejoice <08055 samach> (8799) in his own

works <04639 ma<aseh>; for that is his portion <02506 cheleq>:

for who shall bring <00935 bow>> (8686) him to see <07200 ra>ah>

(8800) what shall be after <00310 >achar> him?

00120 Ecc _ 08 _ 01 6 Who is as the wise <02450 chakam> man? and

who knoweth <03045 yada<> (8802) the interpretation <06592

pesher> of a thing <01697 dabar>? a man's <{00120} >adam> wisdom

<02451 chokmah> maketh his face <06440 paniym> to shine <00215

>owr> (8686), and the boldness <05797 <oz> of his face <06440

paniym> shall be changed <08132 shana> (8792).

00120 Ecc _ 02 _ 12 6 And I turned <06437 panah> (8804) myself

to behold <07200 ra>ah> (8800) wisdom <02451 chokmah>, and

madness <01947 howlelah>, and folly <05531 cikluwth>: for what

can the man <{00120} >adam> do that cometh <00935 bow>> (8799)

after <00310 >achar> the king <04428 melek>? even that which

hath been already <03528 k@bar> done <06213 <asah> (8804).

00120 Ecc _ 11 _ 08 But if a man <{00120} >adam> live <02421

chayah> (8799) many <07235 rabah> (8687) years <08141 shaneh>,

and rejoice <08055 samach> (8799) in them all; yet let him

remember <02142 zakar> (8799) the days <03117 yowm> of darkness

<02822 choshek>; for they shall be many <07235 rabah> (8687).

All that cometh <00935 bow>> (8804) is vanity <01892 hebel>.

00120 Ecc _ 07 _ 02 It is better <02896 towb> to go <03212

yalak> (8800) to the house <01004 bayith> of mourning <00060

>ebel>, than to go <03212 yalak> (8800) to the house <01004

bayith> of feasting <04960 mishteh>: for <00834 >aher> that is

the end <05490 cowph> of all men <{00120} >adam>; and the living

<02416 chay> will lay <05414 nathan> (8799) it to his heart

<03820 leb>.

00120 Ecc _ 02 _ 24 There is nothing better <02896 towb> for a

man <{00120} >adam>, than that he should eat <00398 >akal>

(8799) and drink <08354 shathah> (8804), and that he should make

his soul <05315 nephesh> enjoy <07200 ra>ah> (8689) good <02896

towb> in his labour <05999 <amal>. This <02090 zoh> also I saw

<07200 ra>ah> (8804), that it was from the hand <03027 yad> of

God <00430 >elohiym>.

00120 Ecc _ 06 _ 12 For who knoweth <03045 yada<> (8802) what is

good <02896 towb> for man <{00120} >adam> in this life <02416

<01892 hebel> life <02416 chay> which he spendeth <06213 <asah>

(8799) as a shadow <06738 tsel>? for who can tell <05046 nagad>

(8686) a man <00120 >adam> what shall be after <00310 >achar>

him under the sun <08121 shemesh>?

00120 Ecc _ 06 _ 12 For who knoweth <03045 yada<> (8802) what is

good <02896 towb> for man <00120 >adam> in this life <02416

00120 Ecc _ 02 _ 21 For there is <03426 yesh> a man <00120

>adam> whose labour <05999 <amal> is in wisdom <02451 chokmah>,

and in knowledge <01847 da<ath>, and in equity <03788 kishrown>;

yet to a man <{00120} >adam> that hath not laboured <05998

<amal> (8804) therein shall he leave <05414 nathan> (8799) it

for his portion <02506 cheleq>. This also is vanity <01892

hebel> and a great <07227 rab> evil <07451 ra<>.

00120 Ecc _ 07 _ 14 In the day <03117 yowm> of prosperity <02896

towb> be joyful <02896 towb>, but in the day <03117 yowm> of

adversity <07451 ra<> consider <07200 ra>ah> (8798): God <00430

>elohiym> also hath set <06213 <asah> (8804) the one over

against <05980 <ummah> the other, to the end <01700 dibrah> that

man <{00120} >adam> should find <04672 matsa>> (8799) nothing

<03972 m@uwmah> after <00310 >achar> him.

00120 Ecc _ 02 _ 21 For there is <03426 yesh> a man <{00120}

great <07227 rab> evil <07451 ra<>.

00120 Ecc _ 03 _ 11 6 He hath made <06213 <asah> (8804) every

thing beautiful <03303 yapheh> in his time <06256 <eth>: also he

hath set <05414 nathan> (8804) the world <05769 <owlam> in their

heart <03820 leb>, so that <01097 b@liy> no man <{00120} >adam>

God <00430 >elohiym> maketh <06213 <asah> (8804) from the

beginning <07218 ro>sh> to the end <05490 cowph>.

00120 Ecc _ 05 _ 19 Every man <{00120} >adam> also to whom God

<00430 >elohiym> hath given <05414 nathan> (8804) riches <06239

<osher> and wealth <05233 nekec>, and hath given him power

<07980 shalat> (8689) to eat <00398 >akal> (8800) thereof, and

to take <05375 nasa>> (8800) his portion <02506 cheleq>, and to

rejoice <08055 samach> (8800) in his labour <05999 <amal>; this

<02090 zoh> is the gift <04991 mattath> of God <00430 >elohiym>.

00120 Ecc _ 01 _ 13 And I gave <05414 nathan> (8804) my heart

<03820 leb> to seek <01875 darash> (8800) and search out <08446

tuwr> (8800) by wisdom <02451 chokmah> concerning all things

that are done <06213 <asah> (8738) under heaven <08064 shamayim>:

this sore <07451 ra<> travail <06045 <inyan> hath God <00430

>elohiym> given <05414 nathan> (8804) to the sons <01121 ben> of

man <{00120} >adam> to be exercised <06031 <anah> (8800)

therewith.

00120 Ecc _ 08 _ 08 There is no man <{00120} >adam> that hath

power <07989 shalliyt> over the spirit <07307 ruwach> to retain

<03607 kala>> (8800) the spirit <07307 ruwach>; neither hath he

power <07983 shiltown> in the day <03117 yowm> of death <04194

maveth>: and there is no discharge <04917 mishlachath> in that

war <04421 milchamah>; neither shall wickedness <07562 resha<>

deliver <04422 malat> (8762) those that are given <01167 ba<al>

to it.

00120 Ecc _ 09 _ 01 6 For all this I considered <05414 nathan>

(8804) in my heart <03820 leb> even to declare <00952 buwr>

(8800) all this, that the righteous <06662 tsaddiyq>, and the

wise <02450 chakam>, and their works <05652 <abad>, are in the

00259 Ecc _ 11 _ 06 In the morning <01242 boqer> sow <02232

zara<> (8798) thy seed <02233 zera<>, and in the evening <06153

<ereb> withhold <03240 yanach> (8686) not thine hand <03027 yad>:

for thou knowest <03045 yada<> (8802) not whether <00335 >ay>

whether they both <08147 sh@nayim> shall be alike <{00259}

00259 Ecc _ 03 _ 19 For that which befalleth <04745 miqreh> the

sons <01121 ben> of men <00120 >adam> befalleth <04745 miqreh>

beasts <00929 b@hemah>; even one thing <00259 >echad> befalleth

<04745 miqreh> them: as the one dieth <04194 maveth>, so dieth

<04194 maveth> the other <02088 zeh>; yea, they have all one

<{00259} >echad> breath <07307 ruwach>; so that a man <00120

00259 Ecc _ 03 _ 19 For that which befalleth <04745 miqreh> the

00259 Ecc _ 09 _ 03 This is an evil <07451 ra<> among all things

that are done <06213 <asah> (8738) under the sun <08121 shemesh>,

all: yea, also the heart <03820 leb> of the sons <01121 ben> of

men <00120 >adam> is full <04390 male>> (8804) of evil <07451

ra<>, and madness <01947 howlelah> is in their heart <03824

00259 Ecc _ 09 _ 02 All things come alike to all: there is one

is the good <02896 towb>, so is the sinner <02398 chata>> (8802);

and he that sweareth <07650 shaba<> (8737), as he that feareth

00259 Ecc _ 04 _ 08 There is <03426 yesh> one <{00259} >echad>

neither child <01121 ben> nor brother <00251 >ach>: yet is there

no end <07093 qets> of all his labour <05999 <amal>; neither is

his eye <05869 <ayin> satisfied <07646 saba<> (8799) with riches

<amel>, and bereave <02637 chacer> (8764) my soul <05315

nephesh> of good <02896 towb>? This is also vanity <01892 hebel>,

yea, it is a sore <07451 ra<> travail <06045 <inyan>.

00270 Ecc _ 07 _ 18 It is good <02896 towb> that thou shouldest

take hold <{00270} >achaz> (8799) of this; yea, also from this

00270 Ecc _ 09 _ 12 For man <00120 >adam> also knoweth <03045

00270 Ecc _ 09 _ 12 For man <00120 >adam> also knoweth <03045

00309 Ecc _ 05 _ 04 6 When thou vowest <05087 nadar> (8799) a

vow <05088 neder> unto God <00430 >elohiym>, defer <{00309}

no pleasure <02656 chephets> in fools <03684 k@ciyl>: pay <07999

shalam> (8761) that which thou hast vowed <05087 nadar> (8799).

00310 Ecc _ 10 _ 14 A fool <05530 cakal> also is full <07235

rabah> (8686) of words <01697 dabar>: a man <00120 >adam> cannot

tell <03045 yada<> (8799) what shall be; and what shall be after

<{00310} >achar> him, who can tell <05046 nagad> (8686) him?

00310 Ecc _ 02 _ 18 Yea, I hated <08130 sane>> (8804) all my

labour <05999 <amal> which I had taken <06001 <amel> under the

00310 Ecc _ 12 _ 02 While the sun <08121 shemesh>, or the light

00310 Ecc _ 03 _ 22 Wherefore I perceive <07200 ra>ah> (8804)

that there is nothing better <02896 towb>, than that a man

<00120 >adam> should rejoice <08055 samach> (8799) in his own

for who shall bring <00935 bow>> (8686) him to see <07200 ra>ah>

00310 Ecc _ 02 _ 12 6 And I turned <06437 panah> (8804) myself

to behold <07200 ra>ah> (8800) wisdom <02451 chokmah>, and

madness <01947 howlelah>, and folly <05531 cikluwth>: for what

after <{00310} >achar> the king <04428 melek>? even that which

hath been already <03528 k@bar> done <06213 <asah> (8804).

00310 Ecc _ 06 _ 12 For who knoweth <03045 yada<> (8802) what is

good <02896 towb> for man <00120 >adam> in this life <02416

00310 Ecc _ 07 _ 14 In the day <03117 yowm> of prosperity <02896

towb> be joyful <02896 towb>, but in the day <03117 yowm> of

adversity <07451 ra<> consider <07200 ra>ah> (8798): God <00430

against <05980 <ummah> the other, to the end <01700 dibrah> that

man <00120 >adam> should find <04672 matsa>> (8799) nothing

<03972 m@uwmah> after <{00310} >achar> him.

00310 Ecc _ 09 _ 03 This is an evil <07451 ra<> among all things

that are done <06213 <asah> (8738) under the sun <08121 shemesh>,

that there is one <00259 >echad> event <04745 miqreh> unto all:

yea, also the heart <03820 leb> of the sons <01121 ben> of men

<00120 >adam> is full <04390 male>> (8804) of evil <07451 ra<>,

and madness <01947 howlelah> is in their heart <03824 lebab>

while they live <02416 chay>, and after <{00310} >achar> that

they go to the dead <04191 muwth> (8801).

00312 Ecc _ 07 _ 22 For oftentimes <06471 pa<am> <07227 rab>

also thine own heart <03820 leb> knoweth <03045 yada<> (8804)

00314 Ecc _ 01 _ 11 There is no remembrance <02146 zikrown> of

00314 Ecc _ 01 _ 11 There is no remembrance <02146 zikrown> of

00314 Ecc _ 04 _ 16 There is no end <07093 qets> of all the

shall not rejoice <08055 samach> (8799) in him. Surely this also

is vanity <01892 hebel> and vexation <07475 ra<yown> of spirit

<07307 ruwach>.

00319 Ecc _ 10 _ 13 The beginning <08462 t@chillah> of the words

<01697 dabar> of his mouth <06310 peh> is foolishness <05531

00335 Ecc _ 11 _ 06 In the morning <01242 boqer> sow <02232

00337 Ecc _ 04 _ 10 For if they fall <05307 naphal> (8799), the

one <00259 >echad> will lift up <06965 quwm> (8686) his fellow

00369 Ecc _ 03 _ 14 I know <03045 yada<> (8804) that, whatsoever

God <00430 >elohiym> doeth <06213 <asah> (8799), it shall be for

from it: and God <00430 >elohiym> doeth <06213 <asah> (8804) it,

that men should fear <03372 yare>> (8799) before <06440 paniym>

00376 Ecc _ 07 _ 05 It is better <02896 towb> to hear <08085

shama<> (8800) the rebuke <01606 g@<arah> of the wise <02450

00376 Ecc _ 04 _ 04 6 Again, I considered <07200 ra>ah> (8804)

all travail <05999 <amal>, and every right <03788 kishrown> work

vanity <01892 hebel> and vexation <07469 r@<uwth> of spirit

00376 Ecc _ 09 _ 15 Now there was found <04672 matsa>> (8804) in

00376 Ecc _ 09 _ 15 Now there was found <04672 matsa>> (8804) in

00398 Ecc _ 10 _ 16 6 Woe <00337 >iy> to thee, O land <00776

00398 Ecc _ 09 _ 07 Go thy way <03212 yalak> (8798), eat

00398 Ecc _ 05 _ 11 When goods <02896 towb> increase <07235

<{00398} >akal> (8802) them: and what good <03788 kishrown> is

there to the owners <01167 ba<al> thereof, saving <00518 >im>

the beholding <07207 ra>avah> (8675) <07212 r@>iyth> (8801) of

them with their eyes <05869 <ayin>?

00398 Ecc _ 02 _ 24 There is nothing better <02896 towb> for a

man <00120 >adam>, than that he should eat <{00398} >akal>

his soul <05315 nephesh> enjoy <07200 ra>ah> (8689) good <02896

God <00430 >elohiym>.

00398 Ecc _ 05 _ 19 Every man <00120 >adam> also to whom God

00398 Ecc _ 08 _ 15 Then I commended <07623 shabach> (8765)

mirth <08057 simchah>, because a man <00120 >adam> hath no

better thing <02896 towb> under the sun <08121 shemesh>, than to

eat <{00398} >akal> (8800), and to drink <08354 shathah> (8800),

00398 Ecc _ 05 _ 18 6 Behold that which I have seen <07200

00398 Ecc _ 06 _ 02 A man <00376 >iysh> to whom God <00430

00430 Ecc _ 08 _ 02 I counsel thee to keep <08104 shamar> (8798)

the king's <04428 melek> commandment <06310 peh>, and that in

regard <01700 dibrah> of the oath <07621 sh@buw<ah> of God

00430 Ecc _ 03 _ 15 That which hath been is now <03528 k@bar>;

and that which is to be hath already <03528 k@bar> been; and God

<{00430} >elohiym> requireth <01245 baqash> (8762) that which is

past <07291 radaph> (8737).

00430 Ecc _ 07 _ 13 Consider <07200 ra>ah> (8798) the work

hath made crooked <05791 <avath> (8765)?

00430 Ecc _ 03 _ 10 I have seen <07200 ra>ah> (8804) the travail

be exercised <06031 <anah> (8800) in it.

00430 Ecc _ 05 _ 07 For in the multitude <07230 rob> of dreams

<02472 chalowm> and many <07235 rabah> (8687) words <01697

00430 Ecc _ 12 _ 07 Then shall the dust <06083 <aphar> return

God <{00430} >elohiym> who gave <05414 nathan> (8804) it.

00430 Ecc _ 12 _ 14 For God <{00430} >elohiym> shall bring

00430 Ecc _ 05 _ 20 For he shall not much <07235 rabah> (8687)

remember <02142 zakar> (8799) the days <03117 yowm> of his life

00430 Ecc _ 03 _ 13 And also that every man <00120 >adam> should

00430 Ecc _ 08 _ 13 But it shall not be well <02896 towb> with

the wicked <07563 rasha<>, neither shall he prolong <00748

00430 Ecc _ 12 _ 13 6 Let us hear <08085 shama<> (8799) the

conclusion <05490 cowph> of the whole matter <01697 dabar>: Fear

<03372 yare>> (8798) God <{00430} >elohiym>, and keep <08104

shamar> (8798) his commandments <04687 mitsvah>: for this is the

whole duty of man <00120 >adam>.

00430 Ecc _ 07 _ 29 Lo <07200 ra>ah> (8798), this only <00905

bad> have I found <04672 matsa>> (8804), that God <{00430}

upright <03477 yashar>; but they have sought out <01245 baqash>

(8765) many <07227 rab> inventions <02810 chishshabown>.

00430 Ecc _ 03 _ 17 I said <00559 >amar> (8804) in mine heart

<03820 leb>, God <{00430} >elohiym> shall judge <08199 shaphat>

(8799) the righteous <06662 tsaddiyq> and the wicked <07563

rasha<>: for there is a time <06256 <eth> there for every

purpose <02656 chephets> and for every work <04639 ma<aseh>.

00430 Ecc _ 07 _ 18 It is good <02896 towb> that thou shouldest

take hold <00270 >achaz> (8799) of this; yea, also from this

<02088 zeh> withdraw <03240 yanach> (8686) not thine hand <03027

00430 Ecc _ 05 _ 04 6 When thou vowest <05087 nadar> (8799) a

vow <05088 neder> unto God <{00430} >elohiym>, defer <00309

no pleasure <02656 chephets> in fools <03684 k@ciyl>: pay <07999

shalam> (8761) that which thou hast vowed <05087 nadar> (8799).

00430 Ecc _ 03 _ 18 I said <00559 >amar> (8804) in mine heart

<03820 leb> concerning the estate <01700 dibrah> of the sons

see <07200 ra>ah> (8800) that they <01992 hem> themselves are

00430 Ecc _ 09 _ 07 Go thy way <03212 yalak> (8798), eat <00398

00430 Ecc _ 11 _ 05 As thou knowest <03045 yada<> (8802) not

what is the way <01870 derek> of the spirit <07307 ruwach>, nor

which fear <03372 yare>> (8799) before <06440 paniym> him:

00430 Ecc _ 03 _ 14 I know <03045 yada<> (8804) that, whatsoever

God <00430 >elohiym> doeth <06213 <asah> (8799), it shall be for

from it: and God <{00430} >elohiym> doeth <06213 <asah> (8804)

it, that men should fear <03372 yare>> (8799) before <06440

paniym> him.

00430 Ecc _ 03 _ 14 I know <03045 yada<> (8804) that, whatsoever

00430 Ecc _ 02 _ 24 There is nothing better <02896 towb> for a

man <00120 >adam>, than that he should eat <00398 >akal> (8799)

soul <05315 nephesh> enjoy <07200 ra>ah> (8689) good <02896
