6 There_is an _evil which I _have _seen under the_sun and_is_great it on the_humankind.

2 Anyone whom he _gives to_him/it the_ʼElohīm wealth and_riches and_honour and_not _existing_he is_lacking to_appetite _of_his from_all that he _desires and_not he_gives _him _power the_ʼElohīm to_eat from_him/it if/because a _man foreign he_eats _it this is_futility and_is_an _affliction an _evil it.

3 If he _will _father anyone one _hundred_children and_years many he _will _live and_will _be_many that_which_they _will _be the _days _of his _years _of_his and_self _of_his not it _will _be _satisfied from the_good and_also burial not it _belonged for_him/it I _say is_good from_him/it the_miscarriage.

4 If/because in_futility it _came and_in_darkness it _will _go and_in_darkness his/its_name it _is _covered.

5 Also the_sun not it _saw and_not it _knew_it quietness belongs_to_this _one more_than _this _one.

6 And_if he _lived a _thousand years two _times and_good not he _saw not to a _place one are_(the)_all going.

7 All _of the _toil _of the_humankind is_for_mouth _of_his and_also the_living _creatures not it _will _be _filled.

8 If/because what advantage belongs_to_person more _than the_fool what belongs_to_person who_knows to_walk before the_living.

9 is_good the_sight _of eyes more_than _going desire also this is_futility and_striving _of wind.

10 Whatever (that)_it_has _been already it _has _been _named his/its_name and_it_is_known (cmp) he is_human and_not he _is _able to_contend with one_who_is_mighty[fn] more_than _him.

11 If/because there_are words/messages many which_increase futility what advantage belongs_to_person.

12 If/because who is_knowing what is_good for_person in_life the _number _of the _days _of the _life _of his _futility _of_his and_he_spends _them like_shadow that who will _he _tell to_person what will _it _be after_him under the_sun.
