6 There _[is] an _evil which I _have _seen under the_sun and_heavily it on the_humankind.
2 Anyone whom he _gives to_him/it the_ʼElohīm wealth and_possessions and_honour and_not _existing_he [is]_lacking to_heart_his from_all that he _desires and_not enable_him the_ʼElohīm to_enjoy from_him/it if/because a _man foreign enjoys_them this [is]_futility and_ill an _evil it.
3 If he _will _father anyone one _hundred _[children] and_years many he _will _live and_many that_are the _days years_his and_soul_his not it _will _be _satisfied from the_prosperity and_also burial not it _belonged for_him/it I _say [is]_good from_him/it the_stillborn _child.
4 If/because in/on/at/with_vanity it _came and_in/on/at/with_darkness it _will _go and_in/on/at/with_darkness his/its_name it _is _covered.
5 Also [the]_sun not it _saw and_not it _knew _[it] quietness has_it more _than_he.
6 And_if he _lived a _thousand years two _times and_prosperity not he _saw not to a _place one the_all going.
7 All the _toil the_humankind for_mouth_his and_also the_living _creatures not it _will _be _filled.
8 If/because what advantage have _the_wise more _than the_fool what have _the_poor [who]_knows to_conduct before the_others.
9 [is]_good [the]_sight of _eyes than_wandering desire also this [is]_futility and_chasing of _wind.
10 Whatever that_exists already it _has _been _named his/its_name and_known (cmp) he [is]_human and_not he _is _able to_dispute with who_stronger[fn] than_he.
11 If/because there _[are] words many [which]_increase futility what advantage to _a_anyone.
12 If/because who [is]_knowing what [is]_good for _a_man in/on/at/with_life the _number of _the _days of _the _life futile_his and_pass_them like _a_shadow that who will _he _tell to _a_anyone what will _it _be after_him under the_sun.
