11 There_is_not remembrance_of things and_also of_things which_they_will_be not it_will_be to/for_them remembrance with those_who_they_will_be to_time.
12 I Teacher I_was king over Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) in_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem).
13 And_I_gave DOM heart_of_my to_study and_to_discover by_wisdom on all that it_has_been_done under the_heavens it is_a_business evil which_he_has_given god to_the_children_of the_humankind to_be_busy in/on/over_him/it.

15 that_which_is_bent not it_is_able to_become_straight and_something_missing not it_is_able to_be_numbered.
16 I_have_spoken I with heart_of_my to_say I HERE I_have_made_great and_I_have_increased wisdom above every one_who he_was to/for_my_face/front over Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) and_heart_of_my it_has_seen much wisdom and_knowledge.
17 And_I_gave heart_of_my to_know wisdom and_to_know madness(es) and_folly I_knew (cmp)_also this it is_a_striving_of wind.
18 If/because is_in_abundance_of wisdom abundance_of frustration and_someone_will_increase knowledge he_will_increase pain.
2 I_said I in_heart_of_my come please let_me_put_you_to_the_test with_pleasure and_look on_good and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE also it was_futility.
2 Of_laughter I_said it_is_mad and_of_pleasure what this is_it_doing.
3 I_searched in_heart_of_my to_gratify with_wine DOM flesh_of_my and_heart_of_my was_guiding with_wisdom and_to_take_hold on_folly until that I_saw where this is_good for_the_children_of the_humankind which they_will_do under the_heavens the_number_of the_days_of their_lives_of_their.
4 I_made_great works_of_my I_built to_me houses I_planted to_me vineyards.
5 I_made to_me gardens and_parks and_I_planted in/among_them tree[s]_of every_of fruit.
6 I_made to_me pools_of water to_water from_them a_forest_of sprouting_of trees.
7 I_acquired male_slaves and_female_slaves and_the_sons house he_belonged to_me also livestock herd[s] and_flock[s] many it_belonged to_me from_all those_who_they_were to/for_my_face/front in_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem).
8 I_gathered to_me also silver and_gold and_treasure_of kings and_(the)_provinces I_acquired to_me male_singers and_female_singers and_the_delights_of the_children_of the_humankind breast and_breasts.
9 And_I_became_great and_I_increased from_all one_who_he_was to/for_my_face/front in_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) also wisdom_of_my it_remained to/for_me.
10 And_all/each/any/every that they_asked eyes_of_my not I_withheld from_them not I_restrained DOM heart_of_my from_all pleasure if/because heart_of_my was_joyful from_all toil_of_my and_this it_was reward_of_my from_all toil_of_my.
11 And_I_turned I in_all works_of_my hands_of_my which_they_had_done and_on_toil which_I_had_toiled for_doing and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE (the)_everything was_futility and_striving_of wind and_there_was_not advantage under the_sun.
12 And_I_turned I to_ wisdom _see and_madness(es) and_folly if/because what the_humankind who_he_will_come after the_king DOM that_which already people_have_done_it.
13 And_I_saw I (cmp)_there_is advantage of_wisdom more_than (the)_folly like_the_advantage_of the_light more_than the_darkness.
14 The_wise_person eyes_of_his are_in_head_of_his and_the_fool in_darkness is_walking and_I_knew also I (cmp)_fate one it_will_happen_to DOM of_them_of_all.
15 And_I_said I in_heart_of_my like_the_fate_of the_fool also me it_will_happen_to_me and_for_what have_I_become_wise I then excessively and_I_said in_heart_of_my (cmp)_also this is_futility.
16 If/because there_is_not remembrance_of man with the_fool for_a_long_time in_that_already the_days the_(ones_who)_went (the)_everything it_has_been_forgotten and_how he_will_die the_wise_person with the_fool.
17 And_I_hated DOM (the)_life if/because was_evil on_me the_work which_it_was_done under the_sun if/because (the)_everything is_futility and_striving_of wind.
18 And_I_hated I DOM all_of toil_of_my which_I was_toiling under the_sun that_I_will_leave_it to_person who_he_will_be after_me.
19 And_who is_knowing a_wise_person will_he_be or a_fool and_he_will_have_power in_all toil_of_my which_I_have_toiled and_which_I_have_been_wise under the_sun also this is_futility.
20 And_I_turned I to_make_despair DOM heart_of_my on all_of the_toil which_I_have_toiled under the_sun.
21 If/because there_is a_person who_toil_of_his was_with_wisdom and_with_knowledge and_with_skill and_to/for_humankind who_not he_toiled in/on/over_him/it he_will_give_it portion_of_his also this is_futility and_an_evil great.
22 If/because what is_becoming to_person in_all toil_of_his and_in_the_striving_of his_heart_of_his[fn][fn][fn] which_he was_toiling under the_sun.
23 If/because all_of his/its_days are_pains and_is_vexation business_of_his also in_night not his/its_heart it_rests also this is_futility it.
24 There_is_not good for_person (cmp)_he_will_eat and_he_will_drink and_he_will_show DOM self_of_his good in_toil_of_his also this I_have_seen I if/because_that is_from_the_hand_of the_ʼElohīm it.
25 If/because who will_he_eat and_who will_he_enjoy outside from_me.
26 If/because to/for_ʼĀdām/humankind who_is_good before_him he_gives wisdom and_knowledge and_joy and_to_sinner he_gives the_business to_gather and_to_gather to_give_it to_a_person_good to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_ʼElohīm also this is_futility and_striving_of wind.
3 belongs_to_everything an_appointed_time and_a_time to/from_all/each/any/every matter under the_heavens.
2 a_time to_give_birth and_a_time to_die a_time to_plant and_a_time to_pluck_up that_which_is_planted.
3 A_time to_kill and_a_time to_heal a_time to_break_down and_a_time to_build.
4 A_time to_weep and_a_time to_laugh a_time_of to_mourn and_a_time_of to_leap_about.
5 A_time to_throw_away stones and_a_time_of to_gather stones a_time to_embrace and_a_time to_be_far from_embracing.
6 A_time to_seek and_a_time to_count_as_lost a_time to_keep and_a_time to_throw_away.
7 A_time to_tear and_a_time to_sew a_time to_be_silent and_a_time to_speak.
8 A_time to_love and_a_time to_hate a_time_of warfare and_a_time_of peace.
9 what is_the_advantage_of the_one_who_works in_that_which he was_toiling.
10 I_have_seen DOM the_business which he_has_given god to_the_children_of the_humankind to_be_busy in/on/over_him/it.
11 DOM (the)_everything he_has_made beautiful in_time_of_its also DOM (the)_perpetuity he_has_put in_heart_of_their from_not_of which not he_will_find the_humankind DOM the_work which he_has_done the_ʼElohīm from_beginning and_unto end.
12 I_know if/because_that there_is_not good for_them if/because (if) to_rejoice and_to_do good in_life_of_his.
13 And_also every_of the_humankind who_he_will_eat and_he_will_drink and_he_will_see good in_all toil_of_his is_a_gift_of god it.
14 I_know if/because_that all that he_does the_ʼElohīm it it_will_be forever_perpetuity on/upon/above_him/it there_is_not to_add and_from_it there_is_not to_take_away and_(the)_god he_has_acted that_people_will_fear from_before_face_of_him.
15 Whatever (that)_it_is has_been_already it and_which to_be already it_has_been and_(the)_god he_will_seek DOM that_which_was_pursued.
16 And_again I_have_seen under the_sun the_place_of (the)_justice was_(to)_(to) (the)_wickedness and_the_place_of (the)_righteousness was_(to)_(to) (the)_wickedness.
17 I_said I in_heart_of_my DOM the_righteous and_DOM the_wicked he_will_judge the_ʼElohīm if/because a_time to/from_all/each/any/every matter and_on every_of (the)_deed there.
18 I_said I in_heart_of_my on the_cause_of the_children_of the_humankind to_test_them the_ʼElohīm and_to_see (cmp)_they are_animal[s] they to/for_them.
19 If/because the_fate of_the_children_of the_humankind and_the_fate the_cattle/livestock and_fate one to/for_them like_the_death_of this so the_death_of this and_spirit one belongs_to_all and_the_advantage_of the_humankind is_more_than the_cattle/livestock not if/because (the)_everything is_futility.
20 (the)_everything is_going to place one (the)_everything it_was from the_dust and_(the)_everything is_returning to the_dust.
21 Who is_knowing the_spirit_of the_children_of the_humankind which_is_going_up it (to)_upwards and_spirit the_cattle/livestock which_is_going_down it (to)_downwards to_earth.
22 And_I_saw if/because_that there_is_not good more_than_that he_will_take_pleasure the_humankind in_work(s)_of_his if/because it portion_of_is_his if/because who will_he_bring_him to_see on_whatever (that)_it_will_be after_him.
4 And_I_returned I and_I_saw DOM all_of the_oppression(s) which were_being_done under the_sun and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE the_tear[s]_of the_oppressed and_there_was_not to/for_them a_comforter and_was_from_the_hand_of their_oppressors power and_there_was_not to/for_them a_comforter.
2 And_I_commended I DOM the_dead_people who_already they_had_died more_than the_living who they were_alive pleasure_still.
3 And_good more_than_of_both_of_them DOM one_who still not he_has_been one_who not he_has_seen DOM the_activity (the)_evil which it_is_done under the_sun.
4 And_I_considered I DOM all_of the_toil and_DOM all_of the_skill_of the_work (cmp) it is_envy_of everyone from_neighbour_of_his also this is_futility and_striving_of wind.
5 The_fool is_folding DOM hands_of_his and_he_is_eating DOM flesh_of_his_own.
6 is_good the_fullness_of a_palm_of quietness more_than_the_fullness_of the_hollow_of_hands toil and_striving_of wind.
7 And_I_returned I and_I_saw futility under the_sun.
8 There_was one_person and_there_was_not a_second_person also a_son and_a_brother there_belonged_not to_him/it and_there_was_not an_end to/from_all/each/any/every toil_of_his also eye_of_his[fn] not it_was_satisfied wealth and_for_whom am_I toiling and_depriving DOM self_of_my from_good also this is_futility and_is_a_business evil it.
9 are_good (the)_two_people more_than the_one that there_is to/for_them a_reward good for_toil_of_their.
10 If/because if they_will_fall_down the_one he_will_raise DOM companion_of_his and_woe_to_him the_one who_he_will_fall_down and_there_is_not a_second_person to_raise_him.
11 Also if they_will_lie_down two_people and_it_will_be_warm to/for_them and_to_one_person how will_it_be_warm.
12 And_if someone_will_overpower_him the_one the_two_people they_will_stand before_him and_the_thread (the)_threefold not (in)_quickly it_will_be_torn_apart.
13 is_good a_youth poor and_wise more_than_a_king old and_a_fool who not he_knows to_be_warned still.
14 If/because from_the_house_of the_prisoners he_came_out to_become_king if/because also in_his_own_of_kingdom he_had_been_born poor.
15 I_saw DOM all_of the_living who_are_walking_about under the_sun with the_youth the_second who he_will_arise in_place_of_him.
16 There_is_not an_end to/from_all/each/any/every the_people to_all/each/any/every those_whom he_was before_them also the_subsequent_people not they_will_rejoice in_him/it if/because also this is_futility and_a_striving_of wind.
17 [fn] guard foot_of_your[fn] just_as you_will_go to the_house_of the_ʼElohīm and_draw_near to_listen more_than_to_give the_fools a_sacrifice if/because not_they are_knowing for_doing evil.
5 [fn] do_not be_hasty on mouth_of_your and_heart_of_your not let_it_hasten to_bring_forth a_matter to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_ʼElohīm if/because the_ʼElohīm is_in_heavens and_you(ms) are_on the_earth/land therefore yes/correct/thus/so[fn] let_them_be words/messages_of_your few.
2 [fn] if/because it_comes the_dream with_abundance_of business and_the_voice_of a_fool with_a_multitude_of words/messages.
3 [fn] just_as you_will_vow a_vow to_god do_not delay to_pay_it if/because there_is_not pleasure in_fools DOM that_which you_will_vow pay.
4 [fn] is_good (cmp) not you_will_vow more_than_(cmp)_you_will_vow[fn][fn][fn] and_not you_will_pay.
5 [fn] do_not permit DOM mouth_of_your to_cause_to_sin DOM flesh_of_your and_do_not say to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_messenger if/because_that was_inadvertence it to/for_what will_he_be_angry the_ʼElohīm towards voice_of_your and_he_will_ruin DOM the_work_of your_two’s_hands_of_your.
6 [fn] if/because in_abundance_of dreams and_futilities and_words/messages many if/because DOM the_ʼElohīm fear.
7 [fn] if oppression_of one_who_is_poor and_robbery_of justice and_righteousness you_will_see in_province do_not be_astonished on the_matter if/because a_high_one from_under a_high_one[fn][fn][fn] is_watching and_high_ones over_them.
8 [fn] and_the_profit_of a_land is_in_everything it[fn] a_king to_a_field he_has_been_served.
9 [fn] one_who_loves silver not he_will_be_satisfied silver and_whoever is_loving (in)_wealth not income also this is_futility.
10 [fn] when_increases the_good they_increase those_of_who_consume_it and_what profit belongs_to_owner(s)_of_its if/because (if) the_sight_of[fn] his_eyes_of_his.
11 [fn] is_sweet the_sleep_of the_labourer whether a_little and_if much he_will_eat and_the_plenty of_person not_it is_permitting to_him/it to_sleep.
12 [fn] there_is an_evil severe which_I_have_seen under the_sun wealth was_being_kept by_owner(s)_of_its to_harm_of_his.
13 [fn] and_it_was_lost the_wealth (the)_that in_a_business evil and_he_fathered a_son and_there_was_not in_his/its_hand anything.
14 [fn] just_as he_came_out from_the_womb_of his/its_mother naked he_will_return to_go just_as_he_came and_anything not he_will_carry in_toil_of_his which_he_will_take in_his/its_hand.
15 [fn] and_also this is_an_evil severe as_to exactly_as_of (that)_he_came so he_will_go and_what advantage to_him/it (cmp)_he_will_toil for_wind.
16 [fn] also all_of his/its_days in_darkness he_eats and_he_is_vexed greatly and_sickness_of_his and_anger.
17 [fn] HERE that_which I_have_seen I to_be_good that_which is_beautiful is_to_eat and_to_drink and_to_see good in_all toil_of_his which_someone_will_toil under the_sun the_number_of the_days_of his_life_of_his[fn][fn][fn] which he_has_given to_him/it the_ʼElohīm if/because it portion_of_is_his.
18 [fn] also every_of the_humankind whom he_has_given to_him/it the_ʼElohīm wealth and_riches and_he_has_given_him_power to_eat from_him/it and_to_receive DOM portion_of_his and_to_take_pleasure in_toil_of_his this is_a_gift_of god it.
19 [fn] if/because not much he_will_remember DOM the_days_of his/its_life if/because the_ʼElohīm is_keeping_him_busy with_the_joy_of his/its_heart.
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.
7 is_good a_name more_than_ointment good and_the_day_of (the)_death more_than_the_day_of his_being_born.
2 is_good to_go to a_house_of mourning more_than_to_go to a_house_of a_feast because it is_the_end_of every_of the_humankind and_the_living_person he_will_give to his/its_heart.
3 is_good vexation more_than_laughter if/because by_sadness_of face a_heart it_will_be_good.
4 the_heart_of wise_people in_house_of mourning and_the_heart_of fools in_house_of rejoicing.
5 is_good to_listen_to the_rebuke_of a_wise_person from_man who_listens_to the_song_of fools.
6 If/because like_the_sound_of (the)_thorns under the_pot so the_laughter_of the_fool and_also this is_futility.
7 If/because (the)_oppression it_will_make_look_foolish a_wise_person and_it_will_destroy a_bribe DOM a_heart.
8 is_good the_end_of a_matter more_than_of_its_beginning is_good a_person_long_of spirit more_than_a_person_haughty_of spirit.
9 Do_not be_hasty in_spirit_of_your to_become_angry if/because anger in_the_bosom_of fools it_settles.
10 Do_not say why was_it (cmp)_the_days (the)_former they_were good from_these if/because not from_wisdom you_have_asked on this.
11 is_good wisdom with an_inheritance and_is_an_advantage to_those_who_see_of (of)_the_sun.
12 If/because (in)_the_shade of_(the)_wisdom (in)_the_shade of_(the)_money and_the_advantage_of knowledge (the)_wisdom it_preserves_alive owners_of_its.
13 Consider DOM the_work_of the_ʼElohīm if/because who is_he_able to_make_straight DOM that_which he_has_bent_it.
14 In/on_day good be in_good and_on_a_day_of adversity consider also DOM this exactly_as_of this he_has_made the_ʼElohīm on cause_of that_not he_will_find_out the_humankind after_him anything.
15 DOM (the)_everything I_have_seen in_the_days_of my_futility_of_my there_is a_righteous_person who_perishes in_righteousness_of_his and_there_is a_wicked_person who_prolongs in_evil_of_his.
16 Do_not be righteous greatly and_do_not make_yourself_wise excessively to/for_what will_you_destroy_yourself.
17 Do_not be_wicked greatly and_do_not be a_fool to/for_what will_you_die at_not time_of_your.

25 I_turned I (and)_heart_of_my to_know and_to_examine and_ wisdom _to_seek and_the_scheme_of_things and_to_ wickedness _know stupidity and_the_folly madness(es).

27 Consider this I_have_found Teacher she_said one to_one to_find the_scheme_of_things.
28 Which again it_has_sought self_of_my and_not I_have_found a_man one of_a_thousand I_have_found and_a_woman among_all_of these not I_have_found.
29 Only consider this I_have_found (cmp) he_made the_ʼElohīm DOM the_humankind upright and_they they_have_sought schemes many.

3 Do_not be_hasty from_before_of_him you_will_go do_not stand in_a_matter evil if/because all that he_will_desire he_will_do.
4 Because a_message_of a_king is_mastery and_who will_he_say to_him/it what are_you_doing.
5 one_who_keeps_of (of)_a_command not he_will_know a_thing evil and_an_appropriate_time and_custom the_heart it_will_know a_wise_person.

9 DOM all_of this I_have_seen and_I_have_given DOM heart_of_my to/from_all/each/any/every deed which it_is_done under the_sun a_time when he_has_power the_humankind over_a_person for_harm to_him/it.
10 And_in_such I_have_seen wicked_people being_buried and_they_came and_from_a_place_of holy they_went and_they_will_be_forgotten in_city where right they_had_done also this is_futility.
11 That not it_is_done the_sentence_of the_deed_of the_evil quickly therefore yes/correct/thus/so it_is_full the_heart_of the_children_of the_humankind (is)_in_them for_doing evil.

13 And_good not it_will_belong to_wicked and_not he_will_prolong days like_shadow that not_he he_has_feared from_to/for_face/front/presence god.
14 There_is futility which it_is_done on the_earth/land (cmp) there_are righteous_people whom it_is_happening to_them according_to_the_deed[s]_of (the)_wicked_people and_there_are wicked_people whom_it_is_happening to_them according_to_the_deed[s]_of (the)_righteous_people I_said (cmp)_also this is_futility.
15 And_I_commend I DOM (the)_pleasure that there_is_not good for_humankind under the_sun if/because (if) to_eat and_to_drink and_to_rejoice and_he it_will_join_him in_toil_of_his the_days_of his/its_life which he_has_given to_him/it the_ʼElohīm under the_sun.
16 Just_as I_gave DOM heart_of_my to_know wisdom and_to_see DOM the_business which it_is_done on the_earth/land if/because also in_the_day and_in_the_night sleep with_eyes_of_his not_he is_seeing.
17 And_I_saw DOM all_of the_work_of the_ʼElohīm if/because not he_is_able the_humankind to_find_out DOM the_work which it_is_done under the_sun in_that_(to) that he_toils the_humankind to_seek and_not he_will_find_out and_also if he_will_say the_wise_person to_know not he_will_be_able to_find_out.
9 If/because DOM all_of this I_have_given to heart_of_my and_to_make_clear DOM all_of this (cmp) the_righteous and_the_wise and_deeds_of_their are_in_the_hand_of the_ʼElohīm both love as_well_as hatred not is_knowing the_humankind (the)_everything is_before_of_them.
2 (the)_all just_as for_all fate one belongs_to_righteous and_to_wicked to_good and_to_clean and_to_unclean and_to_who_sacrifices and_to_one_who not_he is_sacrificing as_person as_sinner the_one_who_swears_an_oath just_as an_oath one_fearing.
3 This is_an_evil in_all that it_is_done under the_sun if/because fate one belongs_to_everyone and_also the_heart_of the_children_of the_humankind is_full evil and_madness(es) is_in_heart_of_their in_lives_of_their and_after_it to the_dead_people.
4 If/because who is_the_one_who he_is_united[fn] to all_of the_living there_is hope if/because to_a_dog living it is_good more_than the_lion (the)_dead.
5 If/because the_life are_knowing (cmp)_they_will_die and_the_dead_people not_they are_knowing anything and_there_is_not still to/for_them a_reward if/because memorial_of_their it_is_forgotten.
6 Both love_of_their as_well_as hatred_of_their as_well_as envy_of_their already it_has_perished and_a_portion there_is_not to/for_them again forever_perpetuity in_all that it_is_done under the_sun.
7 Go eat with_joy food_of_your and_drink with_a_heart_of good wine_of_your if/because already he_has_taken_pleasure_in the_ʼElohīm DOM deeds_of_your.
8 In_all time let_them_be clothes_of_your white and_oil on head_of_your not let_it_be_lacking.
9 See life with a_wife whom you_love all_of the_days_of the_life_of your_futility_of_your which he_has_given to/for_yourself(m) under the_sun all_of the_days_of your_futility_of_your if/because it portion_of_is_your in_life and_in_toil_of_your which you are_toiling under the_sun.
10 All that it_finds hand_of_your for_doing with_strength_of_your do if/because there_is_not work and_the_scheme_of_things and_knowledge and_wisdom in_Shəʼōl where you are_going to_(to).
11 I_returned and_I_saw under the_sun if/because_that not belongs_to_ones the_race and_not belongs_to_men the_battle and_also not belongs_to_people food and_also not belongs_to_who_has_understanding wealth and_also not belongs_to_who_has_knowledge favour if/because time and_chance it_happens_to DOM of_them_of_all.
12 If/because also not he_knows the_humankind DOM time_of_his like_fish(es) which_are_caught in_a_net evil and_birds which_are_caught in_snare like_them are_ensnared the_children_of the_humankind to_a_time_of evil when_it_falls on_them suddenly.
13 Also this I_have_seen wisdom under the_sun and_was_great it to_me.
14 A_city small and_men in_it were_few and_he_came to_her/it a_king great and_he_surrounded DOM_her/it and_he_built on/upon_it(f) siege_works great.

18 is_good wisdom more_than_weapons_of war and_a_sinner one he_will_destroy good much.
10 Flies_of death it_causes_to_stink it_ferments the_oil_of a_perfumer is_weighty more_than_wisdom more_than_honour folly_of a_little.

4 If the_spirit_of the_ruler it_will_go_up towards_you place_of_your do_not leave if/because health it_will_cause_to_rest sins great.
5 There_is an_evil which_I_have_seen under the_sun like_an_inadvertence which_is_going_forth from_to/for_face/front/presence the_ruler.
6 It_is_put (the)_folly in_(the)_places many and_rich_people in_place they_sit.

11 If it_will_bite the_snake with_not charming and_there_is_not advantage for_the_master_of the_tongue.
12 the_words/messages_of the_mouth_of a_wise_person are_favour and_the_lips_of a_fool it_swallows_him.
13 The_beginning_of the_words/messages_of his_mouth_of_his is_folly and_the_end_of his_mouth_of_his is_madness evil.
14 And_the_fool he_multiplies words/messages not he_knows the_humankind what (that)_will_it_be and_which it_will_be from_after_him who will_he_tell to_him/it.
15 The_toil_of (the)_fools it_wearies_him that not he_knows to_go to a_city.
16 Woe to/for_you(fs) Oh_land which_king_of_your is_a_youth and_princes_of_your in_morning they_eat.

19 For_laughter people_are_making food and_wine it_makes_glad life and_(the)_money it_answers DOM (the)_everything.
20 Also in_mind_of_your a_king do_not curse and_in_the_chambers_of your_lying_down_of_your do_not curse a_rich_person if/because (the)_bird_of the_heavens it_will_carry DOM the_sound and_an_owner_of the[fn] it_will_tell the_matter.
