There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is abundant with man: |
|
6:1 ¶
There is°
an evil°
which°
I have seen°°
under°
the sun,°
and it°
[is] common°
among°
men:° |
6:2
a man to whom God shall give wealth, and substance, and honour, and he wants nothing for his soul of all things that he shall desire, yet God shall not give him power to eat of it, for a stranger shall devour it: this is vanity, and an evil infirmity. |
|
6:2
A man°
to whom°
Elohim°
hath given°°
riches,°
wealth,°
and honour,°
so that he wanteth°
nothing°
for his soul°
of all°°
that°
he desireth,°°
yet Elohim°
giveth him not power°°°
to eat°°
thereof,°
but°
a stranger°°
eateth°°
it: this°
[is] vanity,°
and it°
[is] an evil°
disease.° |
6:3 ¶
If a man beget a hundred [children], and live many years, yea, however abundant the days of his years shall be, yet [if] his soul shall not be satisfied with good, and also he have no burial; I said, An untimely birth is better than he. |
|
6:3 ¶
If°
a man°
beget°°
an hundred°
[children], and live°°
many°
years,°
so that the days°
of his years°
be°°
many,°
and his soul°
be not°
filled°°
with°
good,°
and also°
[that] he have°
no°
burial;°
I say,°°
[that] an untimely birth°
[is] better°
than°
he. |
6:4
For he came in vanity, and departs in darkness, and his name shall be covered in darkness. |
|
6:4
For°
he cometh°°
in with vanity,°
and departeth°°°
in darkness,°
and his name°
shall be covered°°
with darkness.° |
6:5
Moreover he has not seen the sun, nor known rest: there is [no more rest] to this one than another. |
|
6:5
Moreover°
he hath not°
seen°°
the sun,°
nor°
known°°
[any thing]: this°
hath more rest°
than°
the other.°° |
6:6 ¶
Though he has lived to the return of a thousand years, yet he has seen no good: do not all go to one place? |
|
6:6 ¶
Yea,°
though°
he live°°
a thousand°
years°
twice°
[told], yet hath he seen°°
no°
good:°
do not°
all°
go°°
to°
one°
place?° |
6:7
All the labour of a man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite shall not be satisfied. |
|
6:7
All°
the labour°
of man°
[is] for his mouth,°
and yet°
the appetite°
is not°
filled.°° |
6:8
For [what] advantage has the wise man over the fool, since [even] the poor knows how to walk in the direction of life? |
|
6:8
For°
what°
hath the wise°
more°
than°
the fool?°
what°
hath the poor,°
that knoweth°°
to walk°°
before°
the living?° |
6:9 ¶
The sight of the eyes is better than that which wanders in soul: this is also vanity, and waywardness of spirit. |
|
6:9 ¶
Better°
[is] the sight°
of the eyes°
than the wandering°°°
of the desire:°
this°
[is] also°
vanity°
and vexation°
of spirit.° |
6:10
If anything has been, its name has already been called: and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is stronger than he. |
|
6:10
That°
which hath been°°
is named°°°
already,°
and it is known°°
that°
it°
[is] man:°
neither°
may°°
he contend°°
with°
him that is mightier°°
than°
he. |
6:11 ¶
For there are many things which increase vanity. What advantage has a man? |
|
6:11 ¶
Seeing°
there be°
many°°
things°
that increase°°
vanity,°
what°
[is] man°
the better?° |
6:12
for who knows [what is] good for a man in his life, [during] the number of the life of the days of his vanity? and he has spent them as a shadow; for who shall tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? |
|
6:12
For°
who°
knoweth°°
what°
[is] good°
for man°
in [this] life,°
all°
the days°
of his vain°
life°
which he spendeth°°
as a shadow?°
for°
who°
can tell°°
a man°
what°
shall be°
after°
him under°
the sun?° |
