Ecclesiastes 9

1 for [obj] all this to give: put to(wards) heart my and to/for to explain [obj] all this which [the] righteous and [the] wise and work their in/on/with hand: power [the] God also love also hating nothing to know [the] man [the] all to/for face: before their

[I saw] that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: yea, there is no man that knows either love or hatred, [though] all are before their face.

2 [the] all like/as as which to/for all accident one to/for righteous and to/for wicked to/for pleasant (and to/for bad: evil *X*) and to/for pure and to/for unclean and to/for to sacrifice and to/for which nothing he to sacrifice like/as pleasant like/as to sin [the] to swear like/as as which oath afraid

Vanity is in all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good, and to the bad; both to the pure, and to the impure; both to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifice not: as is the good, so is the sinner: as is the swearer, even so is he that fears an oath.

3 this bad: evil in/on/with all which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun for accident one to/for all and also heart son: child [the] man full bad: evil and madness in/on/with heart their in/on/with life their and after him to(wards) [the] to die

There is this evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yea, the heart of the sons of men is filled with evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after that [they go] to the dead.

4 for who? which (to unite *Q(K)*) to(wards) all [the] alive there trust for to/for dog alive he/she/it pleasant from [the] lion [the] to die

for who is he that has fellowship with all the living? there is hope [of him]: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

5 for [the] alive to know which/that to die and [the] to die nothing they to know anything and nothing still to/for them wages for to forget memorial their

For the living will know that they shall die: but the dead know nothing, and there is no longer any reward to them; for their memory is lost.

6 also love their also hating their also jealousy their already to perish and portion nothing to/for them still to/for forever: enduring in/on/with all which to make: do underneath: under [the] sun

also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, have now perished; yea, there is no portion for them any more for ever in all that is done under the sun.

7 to go: went to eat in/on/with joy food: bread your and to drink in/on/with heart pleasant wine your for already to accept [the] God [obj] deed your

Go, eat thy bread with mirth, and drink thy wine with a joyful heart; for now God has favourably accepted thy works.

8 in/on/with all time to be garment your white and oil upon head your not to lack

Let thy garments be always white; and let not oil be wanting on thine head.

9 to see: enjoy life with woman: wife which to love: lover all day life vanity your which to give: give to/for you underneath: under [the] sun all day vanity your for he/she/it portion your in/on/with life and in/on/with trouble your which you(m. s.) laborious underneath: under [the] sun

And see life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which are given thee under the sun: for that is thy portion in thy life, and in thy labour wherein thou labourest under the sun.

10 all which to find hand your to/for to make: do in/on/with strength your to make: do for nothing deed: work and explanation and knowledge and wisdom in/on/with hell: Sheol which you(m. s.) to go: went there [to] (Sheol h7585)

Whatsoever thine hand shall find to do, do with all thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Hades wither thou goest. (Sheol h7585)

11 to return: again and to see: see underneath: under [the] sun for not to/for swift [the] race and not to/for mighty man [the] battle and also not to/for wise food: bread and also not to/for to understand riches and also not to/for to know favor for time and chance to meet [obj] all their

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor yet wealth to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; for time and chance will happen to them all.

12 for also not to know [the] man [obj] time his like/as fish which/that to grasp in/on/with net bad: evil and like/as bird [the] to grasp in/on/with snare like/as them to snare son: child [the] man to/for time bad: evil like/as which/that to fall: fall upon them suddenly

For surely man also knows not his time: as fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as birds that are caught in a snare; even thus the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them.

13 also this to see: see wisdom underneath: under [the] sun and great: large he/she/it to(wards) me

This I also saw [to be] wisdom under the sun, and it is great before me:

14 city small and human in/on/with her little and to come (in): come to(wards) her king great: large and to turn: surround [obj] her and to build upon her siegework great: large

[suppose there were] a little city, and few men in it; and there should come against it a great king, and surround it, and build great mounds against it;

15 and to find in/on/with her man poor wise and to escape he/she/it [obj] [the] city in/on/with wisdom his and man not to remember [obj] [the] man [the] poor ([the] he/she/it *L(abh)*)

and should find in it a poor wise man, and he should save the city through his wisdom: yet no man would remember that poor man.

16 and to say I pleasant wisdom from might and wisdom [the] poor to despise and word his nothing they to hear: hear

And I said Wisdom is better than power: yet the wisdom of the poor man is set at nought, and his words not listened to.

17 word wise in/on/with quietness to hear: hear from outcry to rule in/on/with fool

The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly.

18 pleasant wisdom from article/utensil battle and to sin one to perish welfare to multiply

Wisdom is better than weapons of war: and one sinner will destroy much good.
