7:1 The life

7 [ref]◙

…

2 It’s better to go to a house where there’s mourning than to a house where there’s a party, because death is the end of each person, and those still alive should consider this in their hearts.

7 [is]_good a _name than_ointment good and_day _of the_death than_day _of birth_one’s.
2 [is]_good to_go to a _house _of mourning than_go to a _house _of a _feast in/on/at/with_what it [is]_the _end _of every _of the_humankind and_the_living he _will _give to his/its_heart.
3 [is]_good vexation than_laughter if/because in/on/at/with_sad _of face a _heart it _will _be _good.
4 [the]_heart _of wise _people in_house _of mourning and_heart _of fools in_house _of rejoicing.
5 [is]_good to_listen [the]_rebuke _of a _wise _[person] from_man [who]_listens _to [the]_song _of fools.
6 If/because like_crackling _of the_thorns under the_pot so the _laughter _of the_fools and_also this [is]_futility.
7 If/because the_oppression it _will _make _look _foolish a _wise _[person] and_corrupts a _bribe DOM a _heart.
8 [is]_good [the]_end _of a _matter than_beginning _of_its [is]_good a _[person]_long _of spirit than_proud _of spirit.
9 Do _not be _hasty in/on/at/with_spirit _of_your to_anger if/because anger in/on/at/with_bosom _of fools it _settles.
10 Do _not say why was _it that_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_advantage to_see _of the_sun.
12 If/because in/on/at/with_protection the_wisdom in/on/at/with_protection the_money and_advantage _of knowledge the_wisdom it _preserves _alive possessor _of_its.
13 Consider DOM the _work _of the_ʼElohīm if/because who is _he _able to_make _straight DOM [that]_which made _crooked_he.
14 In/on_day good be in/on/at/with_joyful and_in/on/at/with_day _of adversity consider also DOM this as_well _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/on/at/with_life _of vain _of_my there _[is] a _righteous _[person] [who]_perishes in/on/at/with_righteousness _of_his and_there _is a _wicked _[person] [who]_prolongs in/on/at/with_evil _of_his.
16 Do _not be righteous greatly and_not make _yourself _wise excessively to/for_what will _you _destroy _yourself.
17 Do _not be _wicked greatly and_not be a _fool to/for_what will _you _die in/on/at/with_before time _of_your.
18 [is]_good (cmp) you _will _take _hold in/on/at/with_the _one and_also of_the _other do _not give _rest _to DOM hand _of_your if/because [one]_fearing _of (of)_god he _will _go _out DOM both _of_them.
19 The_wisdom it _gives _strength to _the_wise from_ten rulers who they _are in/on/at/with_city.
20 If/because anyone there _[is]_not righteous on _the_earth who he _does good and_not he _sins.
21 Also to/from_all/each/any/every the_word which people _speak do _not give attention _of_you that not you _will _hear DOM servant _of_your cursing _of_you.
22 If/because also times many heart _of_your it _knows (cmp) also you[fn] you _have _cursed others.
23 All _of this I _have _put _to _the _test in/on/at/with_wisdom I _said let _me _be _wise and_she [was]_far from_me.
24 [is]_far _away whatever which_is and_deep deep who discover_it.
25 I _turned I and_mind _of_my to_know and_to_search _out and_ wisdom _seek and_scheme and_to_ wickedness _know stupidity and_the_folly madness(es).
26 And_find I bitter more _than_death DOM the_woman who she [is]_snares and_nets her/its_heart [are]_fetters hands _of_whose a _[person]_good to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the_ʼElohīm he _escapes from_her/it and_sinner he _is _captured in/on/at/with_her.
27 Consider this I _have _found Teacher she _said one to_another to_find [the]_scheme _of _things.
28 Which again it _has _sought soul _of_my and_not I _have _found a _man one among_a _thousand I _have _found and_woman in/on/at/with_all _of these not I _have _found.
29 To/for_only consider this I _have _found (cmp) he _made the_ʼElohīm DOM the_humankind upright and_they they _have _sought schemes many.
8 Who like_the_wise and_who [is]_knowing [the]_interpretation _of a _matter [the]_wisdom _of anyone it _makes _shine his/its_faces/face and_hardness _of his/its_faces/face it _is _changed.
2 I [the]_mouth _of a _king keep and_because _of the _cause _of the _oath _of god.
3 Do _not be _hasty from_presence _of_his you _will _go do _not stand in/on/at/with_matter evil if/because all that he _will _desire he _will _do.
4 In/on/at/with_that a _word _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_proper _time and_procedure [the]_heart it _will _know a _wise _[person].
6 If/because to/from_all/each/any/every matter there _[is] an _appropriate _time and_procedure if/because the _trouble _of the_humankind [is]_great on/upon/above_him/it.
7 If/because no_they [is]_knowing what that_happen if/because just_as it _will _be who will _he _tell to_him/it.
8 There _[is]_not anyone having _mastery in/on/at/with_wind to_restrain DOM the_wind and_there _is _no mastery in/on_day the_death and_no discharge in/on/at/with_war and_not wickedness it _will _rescue DOM practice _of_it.
9 DOM all _of this I _have _seen and_applied DOM mind _of_my to/from_all/each/any/every deed which it _is _done under the_sun a _time when he _has _power the_humankind in/on/at/with_another to_hurt to_him/it.
10 And_in/on/at/with_such I _have _seen wicked _[people] being _buried and_go _in and_from_place _of holy they _went and_forgotten in/on/at/with_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 on/upon/above/on _account _of//he/it _went _in yes/correct/thus/so it _is _full the _heart _of the _children _of the_humankind (is)_in_them for_doing evil.
12 That a _sinner [is]_doing evil a _hundred _[times]_of and_prolongs _life to_him/it if/because also [am]_knowing I (cmp) it _will _belong good with_fear _of the_ʼElohīm that they _fear at_before_presence _of_him.
13 And_good not it _will _belong with _the_wicked and_not he _will _prolong days like _the_shadow that not_they 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_deeds _of the_wicked and_there _are wicked _[people] who_happens to_them according _to_deeds _of the_righteous I _said that_too this [is]_futility.
15 And_commend I DOM the_enjoyment that there _[is]_not good for _a_man under the_sun if/because (if) to_eat and_to_drink and_to_enjoy and_he accompany_him in/on/at/with_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 mind _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 in/on/at/with_eyes _of_one’s not_he [is]_seeing.
17 And_saw DOM all _of the _work _of the_ʼElohīm if/because not he _is _able the_humankind to_discover DOM the_work which it _is _done under the_sun in/on/at/with_spite _of that he _toils the_humankind in_seeking and_not he _will _find _out and_also if he _will _say the_wise to_know not he _will _be _able to_discover.
9 If/because DOM all _of this I _have _given to heart _of_my and_to_concluded DOM all _of this (cmp) the_righteous and_the_wise and_deeds _of_their in/on/at/with_hand _of the_ʼElohīm both love as _well _as hatred not [is]_knowing the_humankind the_everything to/for_confronts _of_them.
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_sheol 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.
