	קהלת 8		Ecclesiastes 8
	¹מִ֚י [3] Yetiv כְּהֶ֣חָכָ֔ם [2] Zaqef וּמִ֥י יוֹדֵ֖עַ [2] Tip'cha פֵּ֣שֶׁר דָּבָ֑ר [1] Etnachta חׇכְמַ֤ת אָדָם֙ [3] Pashta תָּאִ֣יר פָּנָ֔יו [2] Zaqef וְעֹ֥ז פָּנָ֖יו [2] Tip'cha יְשֻׁנֶּֽא׃ [1] Silluq		¹Who [3] is like the wise, [2] and who knows [2] the interpretation of a matter? [1] The wisdom of a man, [3] it makes his face shine, [2] and the hardness of his face, [2] it is changed. [1]
	²אֲנִי֙ [3] Pashta פִּי־מֶ֣לֶךְ שְׁמֹ֔ר [2] Zaqef וְעַ֕ל [2] ZaqefG דִּבְרַ֖ת [2] Tip'cha שְׁבוּעַ֥ת אֱלֹהִֽים׃ [1] Silluq		²I (say), [3] “Keep the king’s command!” [2] and that [2] because of [2] the oath of God. [1]
	³אַל־תִּבָּהֵ֤ל מִפָּנָיו֙ [3] Pashta תֵּלֵ֔ךְ [2] Zaqef אַֽל־תַּעֲמֹ֖ד [2] Tip'cha בְּדָבָ֣ר רָ֑ע [1] Etnachta כִּ֛י [3] Tevir כׇּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר יַחְפֹּ֖ץ [2] Tip'cha יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃ [1] Silluq		³Do not be hasty from his presence [3] to go out, [2] do not stand up [2] for an evil cause; [1] because [3] whatever he desires, [2] he will do. [1]
	⁴בַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר דְּבַר־מֶ֖לֶךְ [2] Tip'cha שִׁלְט֑וֹן [1] Etnachta וּמִ֥י יֹֽאמַר־ל֖וֹ [2] Tip'cha מַֽה־תַּעֲשֶֽׂה׃ [1] Silluq		⁴Since the word of a king [2] is supreme; [1] who can say to him, [2] “What are you doing?” [1]
	⁵שׁוֹמֵ֣ר מִצְוָ֔ה [2] Zaqef לֹ֥א יֵדַ֖ע [2] Tip'cha דָּבָ֣ר רָ֑ע [1] Etnachta וְעֵ֣ת וּמִשְׁפָּ֔ט [2] Zaqef יֵדַ֖ע [2] Tip'cha לֵ֥ב חָכָֽם׃ [1] Silluq		⁵Whoever obeys a command, [2] he shall not experience [2] harm; [1] and the proper time and manner [2] it will discern, [2] a wise heart. [1]
	⁶כִּ֣י לְכׇל־חֵ֔פֶץ [2] Zaqef יֵ֖שׁ [2] Tip'cha עֵ֣ת וּמִשְׁפָּ֑ט [1] Etnachta כִּֽי־רָעַ֥ת הָאָדָ֖ם [2] Tip'cha רַבָּ֥ה עָלָֽיו׃ [1] Silluq		⁶For to every matter [2] there [2] is a proper time and manner; [1] though the trouble of man [2] is heavy on him. [1]
	⁷כִּֽי־אֵינֶ֥נּוּ יֹדֵ֖עַ [2] Tip'cha מַה־שֶּׁיִּֽהְיֶ֑ה [1] Etnachta כִּ֚י [3] Yetiv כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר יִֽהְיֶ֔ה [2] Zaqef מִ֖י [2] Tip'cha יַגִּ֥יד לֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq		⁷If he doesn’t know [2] what will be; [1] then [3] when it will be, [2] who [2] can tell him? [1]
	⁸אֵ֣ין אָדָ֞ם [4] Gershayim שַׁלִּ֤יט בָּר֙וּחַ֙ [3 3] Pashta לִכְל֣וֹא אֶת־הָר֔וּחַ [2] Zaqef וְאֵ֤ין שִׁלְטוֹן֙ [3] Pashta בְּי֣וֹם הַמָּ֔וֶת [2] Zaqef וְאֵ֥ין מִשְׁלַ֖חַת [2] Tip'cha בַּמִּלְחָמָ֑ה [1] Etnachta וְלֹֽא־יְמַלֵּ֥ט רֶ֖שַׁע [2] Tip'cha אֶת־בְּעָלָֽיו׃ [1] Silluq		⁸There is not a man [4] with power over the wind [3 3] to restrain the wind, [2] and not with power [3] over the day of death, [2] and discharge is not granted [2] during battle; [1] so wickedness cannot deliver [2] those who practice it. [1]
	⁹אֶת־כׇּל־זֶ֤ה רָאִ֙יתִי֙ [3 3] Pashta וְנָת֣וֹן אֶת־לִבִּ֔י [2] Zaqef לְכׇֽל־מַעֲשֶׂ֔ה [2] Zaqef אֲשֶׁ֥ר נַעֲשָׂ֖ה [2] Tip'cha תַּ֣חַת הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ [1] Etnachta עֵ֗ת [3] Revi'i אֲשֶׁ֨ר שָׁלַ֧ט הָאָדָ֛ם [3] Tevir בְּאָדָ֖ם [2] Tip'cha לְרַ֥ע לֽוֹ׃ [1] Silluq		⁹All this I have seen [3 3] and I have applied my mind [2] to every work [2] that is done [2] under the sun; [1] a time [3] when a man has power [3] over a man [2] to his hurt. [1]
	¹⁰וּבְכֵ֡ן [4] Pazer רָאִ֩יתִי֩ רְשָׁעִ֨ים קְבֻרִ֜ים [4] Geresh וָבָ֗אוּ [3] Revi'i וּמִמְּק֤וֹם קָדוֹשׁ֙ [3] Pashta יְהַלֵּ֔כוּ [2] Zaqef וְיִֽשְׁתַּכְּח֥וּ בָעִ֖יר [2] Tip'cha אֲשֶׁ֣ר כֵּן־עָשׂ֑וּ [1] Etnachta גַּם־זֶ֖ה [2] Tip'cha הָֽבֶל׃ [1] Silluq		¹⁰And so [4] I have seen the wicked buried [4] and they had come, [3] and from a holy place [3] they had gone, [2] and they are forgotten in the city [2] where this they had done; [1] this too [2] is futility. [1]
	¹¹אֲשֶׁר֙ [3] Pashta אֵין־נַעֲשָׂ֣ה פִתְגָ֔ם [2] Zaqef מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה הָרָעָ֖ה [2] Tip'cha מְהֵרָ֑ה [1] Etnachta עַל־כֵּ֡ן [4] Pazer מָלֵ֞א [4] Gershayim לֵ֧ב בְּֽנֵי־הָאָדָ֛ם [3] Tevir בָּהֶ֖ם [2] Tip'cha לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת רָֽע׃ [1] Silluq		¹¹Because [3] the sentence is not carried out [2] against an evil deed [2] speedily; [1] therefore [4] fully set [4] is the heart of the sons of men [3] within them [2] to do evil. [1]
	¹²אֲשֶׁ֣ר חֹטֶ֗א [3] Revi'i עֹשֶׂ֥ה רָ֛ע [3] Tevir מְאַ֖ת [2] Tip'cha וּמַאֲרִ֣יךְ ל֑וֹ [1] Etnachta כִּ֚י [3] Yetiv גַּם־יוֹדֵ֣עַ אָ֔נִי [2] Zaqef אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִהְיֶה־טּוֹב֙ [3] Pashta לְיִרְאֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים [2] Zaqef אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִֽירְא֖וּ [2] Tip'cha מִלְּפָנָֽיו׃ [1] Silluq		¹²Though a sinner [3] do evil [3] a hundred times [2] and he prolong for himself; [1] yet [3] also I know [2] that good will belong [3] to those who fear God, [2] who fear [2] before him, [1]
	¹³וְטוֹב֙ [3] Pashta לֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה לָֽרָשָׁ֔ע [2] Zaqef וְלֹֽא־יַאֲרִ֥יךְ יָמִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha כַּצֵּ֑ל [1] Etnachta אֲשֶׁ֛ר [3] Tevir אֵינֶ֥נּוּ יָרֵ֖א [2] Tip'cha מִלִּפְנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ [1] Silluq		¹³but good [3] the wicked shall not have, [2] and he shall not prolong days [2] like a shadow; [1] because [3] he does not fear [2] before God. [1]
	¹⁴יֶשׁ־הֶ֘בֶל֮ [3 3] Zarqa אֲשֶׁ֣ר נַעֲשָׂ֣ה עַל־הָאָ֒רֶץ֒ [2 2] Segol אֲשֶׁ֣ר ׀ [4] Legarmeh יֵ֣שׁ צַדִּיקִ֗ים [3] Revi'i אֲשֶׁ֨ר מַגִּ֤יעַ אֲלֵהֶם֙ [3] Pashta כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה הָרְשָׁעִ֔ים [2] Zaqef וְיֵ֣שׁ רְשָׁעִ֔ים [2] Zaqef שֶׁמַּגִּ֥יעַ אֲלֵהֶ֖ם [2] Tip'cha כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה הַצַּדִּיקִ֑ים [1] Etnachta אָמַ֕רְתִּי [2] ZaqefG שֶׁגַּם־זֶ֖ה [2] Tip'cha הָֽבֶל׃ [1] Silluq		¹⁴There is a futility [3 3] which is done on the earth, [2 2] that [4] there are righteous [3] to whom it happens [3] according to the deeds of the wicked, [2] and there are wicked [2] to whom it happens [2] according to the deeds of the righteous; [1] I say [2] that this too [2] is futility. [1]
	¹⁵וְשִׁבַּ֤חְתִּֽי אֲנִי֙ [3] Pashta אֶת־הַשִּׂמְחָ֔ה [2] Zaqef אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֵֽין־ט֤וֹב לָֽאָדָם֙ [3] Pashta תַּ֣חַת הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ [2] Zaqef כִּ֛י [3] Tevir אִם־לֶאֱכֹ֥ל וְלִשְׁתּ֖וֹת [2] Tip'cha וְלִשְׂמ֑וֹחַ [1] Etnachta וְה֞וּא [4] Gershayim יִלְוֶ֣נּוּ בַעֲמָל֗וֹ [3] Revi'i יְמֵ֥י חַיָּ֛יו [3] Tevir אֲשֶׁר־נָֽתַן־ל֥וֹ הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים [2] Tip'cha תַּ֥חַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃ [1] Silluq		¹⁵So I, I commended [3] enjoyment, [2] because there is nothing better for man [3] under the sun, [2] than [3] to eat and to drink [2] and to be happy; [1] for that, [4] it will accompany him in his labor [3] the days of his life [3] which God has given him [2] under the sun. [1]
	¹⁶כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתַ֤תִּי אֶת־לִבִּי֙ [3] Pashta לָדַ֣עַת חׇכְמָ֔ה [2] Zaqef וְלִרְאוֹת֙ [3] Pashta אֶת־הָ֣עִנְיָ֔ן [2] Zaqef אֲשֶׁ֥ר נַעֲשָׂ֖ה [2] Tip'cha עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ [1] Etnachta כִּ֣י גַ֤ם בַּיּוֹם֙ [3] Pashta וּבַלַּ֔יְלָה [2] Zaqef שֵׁנָ֕ה [2] ZaqefG בְּעֵינָ֖יו [2] Tip'cha אֵינֶ֥נּוּ רֹאֶֽה׃ [1] Silluq		¹⁶When I applied my heart [3] to know wisdom, [2] and to observe [3] the activity [2] that is done [2] on the earth; [1] both in the day [3] and in the night, [2] sleep [2] though his eyes [2] not seeing, [1]
	¹⁷וְרָאִ֘יתִי֮ [3 3] Zarqa אֶת־כׇּל־מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה הָאֱלֹהִים֒ [2] Segol כִּי֩ לֹ֨א יוּכַ֜ל [4] Geresh הָאָדָ֗ם [3] Revi'i לִמְצוֹא֙ [3] Pashta אֶת־הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂה֙ [3] Pashta אֲשֶׁ֣ר נַעֲשָׂ֣ה תַֽחַת־הַשֶּׁ֔מֶשׁ [2] Zaqef בְּ֠שֶׁ֠ל [4 4] TelishaG אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַעֲמֹ֧ל הָאָדָ֛ם [3] Tevir לְבַקֵּ֖שׁ [2] Tip'cha וְלֹ֣א יִמְצָ֑א [1] Etnachta וְגַ֨ם אִם־יֹאמַ֤ר הֶֽחָכָם֙ [3] Pashta לָדַ֔עַת [2] Zaqef לֹ֥א יוּכַ֖ל [2] Tip'cha לִמְצֹֽא׃ [1] Silluq		¹⁷then I saw [3 3] all the work of God, [2] that he is not able, [4] mankind, [3] to find out [3] the work [3] that is done under the sun, [2] because [4 4] though a man labor [3] to seek, [2] yet he does not find out; [1] and even if the wise claims [3] to know, [2] he cannot [2] find out.
