Strong's Number H5998 matches the Hebrew עָמַל (ʿāmal),
which occurs 11 times in 11 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
Unless the LORD builds a house,
its builders labor over it in vain;
unless the LORD watches over a city,
the watchman stays alert in vain.
And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will take over all my work that I labored at skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.
So I began to give myself over[fn] to despair concerning all my work that I had labored at under the sun.
When there is a person whose work was done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a person who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great wrong.
This too is a sickening tragedy: exactly as he comes, so he will go. What does the one gain who struggles for the wind?
Here is what I have seen to be good: It is appropriate to eat, drink, and experience good in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of his life God has given him, because that is his reward.
I observed all the work of God and concluded that a person is unable to discover the work that is done under the sun. Even though a person labors hard to explore it, he cannot find it; even if a wise person claims to know it, he is unable to discover it.
