Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:1 - There is H3426 an evil H7451 which I have seen H7200 under the sun, H8121 and it is common H7227 among men: H120
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:2 - A man H376 to whom God H430 hath given H5414 riches, H6239 wealth, H5233 and honour, H3519 so that he wanteth H2638 nothing for his soul H5315 of all that he desireth, H183 yet God H430 giveth him not power H7980 to eat H398 thereof, but a stranger H376 H5237 eateth H398 it: this is vanity, H1892 and it is an evil H7451 disease. H2483
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:3 - If a man H376 beget H3205 an hundred H3967 children, and live H2421 many H7227 years, H8141 so that the days H3117 of his years H8141 be many, H7227 and his soul H5315 be not filled H7646 with good, H2896 and also that he have no burial; H6900 I say, H559 that an untimely birth H5309 is better H2896 than he.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:4 - For he cometh H935 in with vanity, H1892 and departeth H3212 in darkness, H2822 and his name H8034 shall be covered H3680 with darkness. H2822
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:5 - Moreover he hath not seen H7200 the sun, H8121 nor known H3045 any thing: this H2088 hath more rest H5183 than H2088 the other.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:6 - Yea, though H432 he live H2421 a thousand H505 years H8141 twice H6471 told, yet hath he seen H7200 no good: H2896 do not all go H1980 to one H259 place? H4725
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:7 - All the labour H5999 of man H120 is for his mouth, H6310 and yet the appetite H5315 is not filled. H4390
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:8 - For what hath the wise H2450 more H3148 than the fool? H3684 what hath the poor, H6041 that knoweth H3045 to walk H1980 before the living? H2416
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:9 - Better H2896 is the sight H4758 of the eyes H5869 than the wandering H1980 of the desire: H5315 this is also vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:10 - That which hath been is named H7121 H8034 already, H3528 and it is known H3045 that it is man: H120 neither may H3201 he contend H1777 with him that is mightier H8623 than he.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:11 - Seeing there be H3426 many H7235 things H1697 that increase H7235 vanity, H1892 what is man H120 the better? H3148
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:12 - For who knoweth H3045 what is good H2896 for man H120 in this life, H2416 all H4557 the days H3117 of his vain H1892 life H2416 which he spendeth H6213 as a shadow? H6738 for who can tell H5046 a man H120 what shall be after H310 him under the sun? H8121
