Ecclesiastes 6:1-12

There is
<03426>
an evil
<07451>
which I have seen
<07200> (8804)
under the sun
<08121>_,
and it [is] common
<07227>
among men
<0120>_:
A man
<0376>
to whom God
<0430>
hath given
<05414> (8799)
riches
<06239>_,
wealth
<05233>_,
and honour
<03519>_,
so that he wanteth
<02638>
nothing for his soul
<05315>
of all that he desireth
<0183> (8691)_,
yet God
<0430>
giveth him not power
<07980> (8686)
to eat
<0398> (8800)
thereof, but a stranger
<0376> <05237>
eateth
<0398> (8799)
it: this [is] vanity
<01892>_,
and it [is] an evil
<07451>
disease
<02483>_.
If a man
<0376>
beget
<03205> (8686)
an hundred
<03967>
[children], and live
<02421> (8799)
many
<07227>
years
<08141>_,
so that the days
<03117>
of his years
<08141>
be many
<07227>_,
and his soul
<05315>
be not filled
<07646> (8799)
with good
<02896>_,
and also [that] he have no burial
<06900>_;
I say
<0559> (8804)_,
[that] an untimely birth
<05309>
[is] better
<02896>
than he.
For he cometh
<0935> (8804)
in with vanity
<01892>_,
and departeth
<03212> (8799)
in darkness
<02822>_,
and his name
<08034>
shall be covered
<03680> (8792)
with darkness
<02822>_.
Moreover he hath not seen
<07200> (8804)
the sun
<08121>_,
nor known
<03045> (8804)
[any thing]: this
<02088>
hath more rest
<05183>
than
<02088>
the other.
Yea, though
<0432>
he live
<02421> (8804)
a thousand
<0505>
years
<08141>
twice
<06471>
[told], yet hath he seen
<07200> (8804)
no good
<02896>_:
do not all go
<01980> (8802)
to one
<0259>
place
<04725>_?
All the labour
<05999>
of man
<0120>
[is] for his mouth
<06310>_,
and yet the appetite
<05315>
is not filled
<04390> (8735)_.
{appetite: Heb. soul}
For what hath the wise
<02450>
more
<03148>
than the fool
<03684>_?
what hath the poor
<06041>_,
that knoweth
<03045> (8802)
to walk
<01980> (8800)
before the living
<02416>_?
Better
<02896>
[is] the sight
<04758>
of the eyes
<05869>
than the wandering
<01980> (8800)
of the desire
<05315>_:
this [is] also vanity
<01892>
and vexation
<07469>
of spirit
<07307>_.
{than...: Heb. than the walking of the soul}
That which hath been is named
<07121> (8738) <08034>
already
<03528>_,
and it is known
<03045> (8737)
that it [is] man
<0120>_:
neither may
<03201> (8799)
he contend
<01777> (8800)
with him that is mightier
<08623>
than he.
Seeing there be
<03426>
many
<07235> (8687)
things
<01697>
that increase
<07235> (8688)
vanity
<01892>_,
what [is] man
<0120>
the better
<03148>_?
For who knoweth
<03045> (8802)
what [is] good
<02896>
for man
<0120>
in [this] life
<02416>_,
all
<04557>
the days
<03117>
of his vain
<01892>
life
<02416>
which he spendeth
<06213> (8799)
as a shadow
<06738>_?
for who can tell
<05046> (8686)
a man
<0120>
what shall be after
<0310>
him under the sun
<08121>_?
{all...: Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity}
