7:1 The life

7[ref]

2It’s better to go to a house where there’s mourning than to a house where there’s a party, because death is the end of each person, and those still alive should consider this in their hearts.

13Consider DOM the_work the_ʼElhīmv DOM who is_he_able to_make_straight DOM [that]_which made_crooked_he.
14In/on_day of_good be in/on/at/with_joyful and_in/on/at/with_day of_adversity consider also DOM this as_well_as this he_has_made the_ʼElhīmv on cause that_not he_will_find_out the_humankind after_him anything.
15DOM the_everything I_have_seen in/on/at/with_life vain_my there_[is] a_righteous_[person] [who]_perishes in/on/at/with_righteousness_his and_there_is a_wicked_[person] [who]_prolongs in/on/at/with_evil_his.
16Do_not be righteous greatly and_not make_yourself_wise excessively to/for_what will_you_destroy_yourself.
17Do_not be_wicked greatly and_not be a_fool to/for_what will_you_die in/on/at/with_before time_your.

22DOM also times many it_knows heart_your (cmp) also you[fn] you_have_cursed others.
23All this I_have_put_to_the_test in/on/at/with_wisdom I_said let_me_be_wise and_she [was]_far from_me.
24[is]_far_away whatever which_is and_deep deep who discover_it.
25I_turned I and_mind_my to_know and_to_search_out and_seek wisdom and_scheme and_to_know wickedness stupidity and_the_folly madness(es).
26And_find I bitter more_than_death DOM the_woman who she [is]_snares and_nets her/its_heart [are]_fetters hands_whose a_[person]_good to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_ʼElhīmv he_escapes from_her/it and_sinner he_is_captured in/on/at/with_her.
27Consider this I_have_found she_said Teacher one to_another to_find [the]_scheme_of_things.
28Which again it_has_sought soul_my and_not I_have_found a_man one among_a_thousand I_have_found and_woman in/on/at/with_all these not I_have_found.
29To/for_only consider this I_have_found (cmp) he_made the_ʼElhīmv DOM the_humankind upright and_they they_have_sought schemes many.
8Who like_the_wise and_who [is]_knowing [the]_interpretation of_a_matter [the]_wisdom of_anyone it_makes_shine his/its_faces/face and_hardness his/its_faces/face it_is_changed.
2I [the]_mouth of_a_king keep and_because_of the_cause of_the_oath of_god.
3Do_not be_hasty from_presence_his you_will_go do_not stand in/on/at/with_matter evil DOM all that he_will_desire he_will_do.
4In/on/at/with_that a_word of_a_king [is]_mastery and_who will_he_say to_him/it what are_you_doing.
5[one_who]_keeps (of)_a_command not he_will_know a_thing evil and_proper_time and_procedure it_will_know [the]_heart of_a_wise_[person].
6DOM to/from_all/each/any/every matter there_[is] an_appropriate_time and_procedure DOM the_trouble the_humankind [is]_great on/upon/above_him/it.

8There_[is]_not anyone having_mastery in/on/at/with_wind to_restrain DOM the_wind and_there_is_no mastery in/on_day the_death and_no discharge in/on/at/with_war and_not it_will_rescue wickedness DOM practice_it.
9DOM all this I_have_seen and_applied DOM mind_my to/from_all/each/any/every deed which it_is_done under the_sun a_time when he_has_power the_humankind in/on/at/with_another to_hurt to_him/it.
10And_in/on/at/with_such I_have_seen wicked_[people] being_buried and_go_in and_from_place of_holy they_went and_forgotten in/on/at/with_city where right they_had_done also this [is]_futility.
11That not it_is_done the_sentence the_deed the_evil quickly on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so it_is_full the_heart of_the_children the_humankind (is)_in_them for_doing evil.
12That a_sinner [is]_doing evil a_hundred_[times] and_prolongs_life to_him/it DOM also [am]_knowing I (cmp) it_will_belong good with_fear the_ʼElhīmv that they_fear at_before_presence_him.
13And_good not it_will_belong with_the_wicked and_not he_will_prolong days like_the_shadow that not_they he_has_feared from_to/for_face/front/presence god.
14There_[is] futility which it_is_done on the_earth/land (cmp) there_[are] righteous_[people] whom [it_is]_happening to_them according_to_deeds the_wicked and_there_are wicked_[people] who_happens to_them according_to_deeds the_righteous I_said that_too this [is]_futility.
15And_commend I DOM the_enjoyment that there_[is]_not good for_a_man under the_sun DOM (if) to_eat and_to_drink and_to_enjoy and_he accompany_him in/on/at/with_toil_his the_days his/its_life which he_has_given to_him/it the_ʼElhīmv under the_sun.
16Just_as I_gave DOM mind_my to_know wisdom and_to_see DOM the_business which it_is_done on the_earth/land DOM also in_the_day and_in_the_night sleep in/on/at/with_eyes_one’s not_he [is]_seeing.
17And_saw DOM all the_work the_ʼElhīmv DOM not he_is_able the_humankind to_discover DOM the_work which it_is_done under the_sun in/on/at/with_spite_of that he_toils the_humankind in_seeking and_not he_will_find_out and_also if he_will_say the_wise to_know not he_will_be_able to_discover.
9DOM DOM all this I_have_given to heart_my and_to_concluded DOM all this (cmp) the_righteous and_the_wise and_deeds_their in/on/at/with_hand the_ʼElhīmv both love as_well_as hatred not [is]_knowing the_humankind the_everything to/for_confronts_them.
2The_everything just_as for_the_all fate one to_the_righteous and_to_the_wicked to_the_good and_to_the_clean and_to_the_unclean and_to_those_sacrifice and_to_the_one not_he [is]_sacrificing as_the_good so_the_sinner the_swear just_as an_oath [one]_fearing.
3This [is]_an_evil in/on/at/with_all that it_is_done under the_sun DOM fate one to_the_everyone and_also the_heart of_the_children the_humankind [is]_full evil and_madness in/on/at/with_hearts_their in/on/at/with_live_they and_after_that to the_dead.
4DOM who [is_the_one]_who he_is_united[fn] to all the_living there_[is] hope DOM to_dog living it [is]_good more_than the_lion the_dead.
5DOM the_life [are]_knowing that_die and_the_dead not_they [are]_knowing anything and_no still to/for_them a_reward DOM it_is_forgotten memory_them.
6Both love_their as_well_as hate_their as_well_as envy_their already it_has_perished and_share there_[is]_not to/for_them again have_ever in/on/at/with_all that it_is_done under the_sun.
7Go eat in/on/at/with_joy bread_your and_drink in/on/at/with_heart good wine_your DOM already he_has_taken_pleasure_in the_ʼElhīmv DOM what_do_your.
8In_all time let_them_be garments_your white and_oil on head_your not let_it_be_lacking.
9See life with a_wife whom you_love all the_days of_the_life vain_your which he_has_given to/for_yourself(m) under the_sun all the_days fleeting_your DOM it portion_your in/on/at/with_life and_in/on/at/with_toil_your which you [are]_toiling under the_sun.
10All that it_finds hand_your for_doing in/on/at/with_might_your do DOM there_[is]_not work and_planning and_knowledge and_wisdom in/on/at/with_sheol where you [are]_going  there_to.
11I_returned and_saw under the_sun DOM_that not to_the_swift the_race and_not to_the_strong the_battle and_also not to_THE_wise food and_also not to_the_intelligent wealth and_also not to_the_skillful favour DOM time and_chance it_happens_to DOM all_them.
12DOM also not he_knows the_humankind DOM time_his like_the_fish that_caught in/on/at/with_net evil and_as/like_birds the_caught in/on/at/with_snare so_they [are]_ensnared the_children the_humankind at_time evil when_that_falls upon_them suddenly.
