2 The_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.
3 This is_an _evil in/on/at/with_all that it _is _done under the_sun if/because fate one to _the_everyone and_also the _heart _of the _children _of the_humankind is_full evil and_madness in/on/at/with_hearts _of_their in/on/at/with_live _of_they and_after_that to the_dead.
4 If/because who is _the _one_who he _is _united[fn] to all _of the_living there_is hope if/because to_dog living it is_good more _than the_lion the_dead.
5 If/because the_life are_knowing that_die and_the_dead not_they are_knowing anything and_no still to/for_them a _reward if/because memory _of_them it _is _forgotten.
6 Both love _of_their as _well _as hate _of_their as _well _as envy _of_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.
7 Go eat in/on/at/with_joy bread _of_your and_drink in/on/at/with_heart _of good wine _of_your if/because already he _has _taken _pleasure _in the_ʼElohīm DOM what _do _of_your.
8 In_all time let _them _be garments _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 vain _of_your which he _has _given to/for_yourself(m) under the_sun all _of the _days _of fleeting _of_your if/because it portion _of_your in/on/at/with_life and_in/on/at/with_toil _of_your which you are_toiling under the_sun.
10 All that it _finds hand _of_your for_doing in/on/at/with_might _of_your do if/because there_is_not work and_planning and_knowledge and_wisdom in/on/at/with_shəʼōl where you are_going there_to.
11 I _returned and_saw under the_sun if/because _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 if/because time and_chance it _happens _to DOM all _of_them.
12 If/because also not he _knows the_humankind DOM time _of_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 _of the_humankind at_time _of evil when_that_falls upon_them suddenly.
