1There^H3426 is an evil^H9567 which^H834 I have seen^H7200 under^H8478 the sun^H8121 and it is prevalent^H7227 among^H5921 men^H120 –
2a man^H376 to whom^H834 God^H430 has given^H5414 riches^H6239 and wealth^H5233 and honor^H9202 so that his soul^H5315 lacks^H2638 nothing^H369 of all^H3605 that he desires,^H183 but God^H430 has not empowered^H7980 him to eat^H398 from them, for a foreigner^H5237 enjoys^H398 them. This^H2088 is vanity^H1892 and a severe^H7451 affliction.^H2483
3If^H518 a man^H376 fathers^H3205 a hundred^H3967 [children] and lives^H2421 many^H7227 years,^H8141 however many^H7227 they be, but his soul^H5315 is not satisfied^H7646 with good^H9186 things,^H9186 and he does not even^H1571 have^H1961 a [proper] burial,^H6900 [then] I say,^H559 "Better^H2896 the miscarriage^H5309 than^H4480 he,
4for it comes^H935 in futility^H1892 and goes^H1980 into obscurity;^H2822 and its name^H8034 is covered^H3680 in obscurity.^H2822
5"It never^H3808 sees^H7200 the sun^H8121 and it never^H3808 knows^H3045 [anything;] it is better^H5183 off than^H4480 he.
6"Even if^H432 the [other] man lives^H2421 a thousand^H505 years^H8141 twice^H6471 and does not enjoy^H7200H9186 good^H9186 things^H9186 – do not all^H3605 go^H1980 to one^H259 place^H4725?"
7All^H3605 a man's labor^H5999 is for his mouth^H6310 and yet^H1571 the appetite^H5315 is not satisfied.^H4390
8For what^H4100 advantage^H3148 does the wise^H2450 man^H2450 have over^H4480 the fool^H3684? What^H4100 [advantage] does the poor^H6041 man^H6041 have, knowing^H3045 [how] to walk^H1980 before^H5048 the living^H2416?
9What^H4758 the eyes^H5869 see^H4758 is better^H2896 than^H4480 what the soul^H5315 desires.^H1980 This^H2088 too^H1571 is futility^H1892 and a striving^H7469 after wind.^H7307
10Whatever^H4100H7945 exists^H1961 has already^H3528 been named,^H7121H8034 and it is known^H3045 what^H834 man^H120 is; for he cannot^H3201H3808 dispute^H1777 with him who^H7945 is stronger^H8623 than^H4480 he is.
11For there^H3426 are many^H7235 words^H1697 which increase^H7235 futility.^H1892 What^H4100 [then] is the advantage^H3148 to a man^H120?
12For who^H4310 knows^H3045 what^H4100 is good^H2896 for a man^H120 during [his] lifetime,^H9132 [during] the few^H4557 years^H3117 of his futile^H1892 life^H9132? He will spend^H6213 them like a shadow.^H6738 For who^H4310 can tell^H5046 a man^H120 what^H4100 will be after^H310 him under^H8478 the sun^H8121?
