The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

מַה-יִּתְרוֹן לָֽאָדָם בְּכָל-עֲמָלוֹ שֶֽׁיַּעֲמֹל תַּחַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃
What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
כָּל-הַדְּבָרִים יְגֵעִים לֹא-יוּכַל אִישׁ לְדַבֵּר לֹא-תִשְׂבַּע עַיִן לִרְאוֹת וְלֹא-תִמָּלֵא אֹזֶן מִשְּׁמֹֽעַ׃
All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-לִבִּי לִדְרוֹשׁ וְלָתוּר בַּֽחָכְמָה עַל כָּל-אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה תַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם הוּא׀ עִנְיַן רָע נָתַן אֱלֹהִים לִבְנֵי הָאָדָם לַעֲנוֹת בּֽוֹ׃
And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
תַּרְתִּי בְלִבִּי לִמְשׁוֹךְ בַּיַּיִן אֶת-בְּשָׂרִי וְלִבִּי נֹהֵג בַּֽחָכְמָה וְלֶאֱחֹז בְּסִכְלוּת עַד אֲשֶׁר-אֶרְאֶה אֵי-זֶה טוֹב לִבְנֵי הָאָדָם אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשׂוּ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמַיִם מִסְפַּר יְמֵי חַיֵּיהֶֽם׃
I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
כָּנַסְתִּי לִי גַּם-כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וּסְגֻלַּת מְלָכִים וְהַמְּדִינוֹת עָשִׂיתִי לִי שָׁרִים וְשָׁרוֹת וְתַעֲנוּגֹת בְּנֵי הָאָדָם שִׁדָּה וְשִׁדּֽוֹת׃
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
וּפָנִיתִֽי אֲנִי לִרְאוֹת חָכְמָה וְהוֹלֵלוֹת וְסִכְלוּת כִּי׀ מֶה הָאָדָם שֶׁיָּבוֹא אַחֲרֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-כְּבָר עָשֽׂוּהוּ׃
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
וְשָׂנֵאתִֽי אֲנִי אֶת-כָּל-עֲמָלִי שֶׁאֲנִי עָמֵל תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ שֶׁאַנִּיחֶנּוּ לָאָדָם שֶׁיִּהְיֶה אַחֲרָֽי׃
Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
כִּי-יֵשׁ אָדָם שֶׁעֲמָלוֹ בְּחָכְמָה וּבְדַעַת וּבְכִשְׁרוֹן וּלְאָדָם שֶׁלֹּא עָֽמַל-בּוֹ יִתְּנֶנּוּ חֶלְקוֹ גַּם-זֶה הֶבֶל וְרָעָה רַבָּֽה׃
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
כִּי מֶֽה-הוֶֹה לָֽאָדָם בְּכָל-עֲמָלוֹ וּבְרַעְיוֹן לִבּוֹ שֶׁהוּא עָמֵל תַּחַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃
For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
אֵֽין-טוֹב בָּאָדָם שֶׁיֹּאכַל וְשָׁתָה וְהֶרְאָה אֶת-נַפְשׁוֹ טוֹב בַּעֲמָלוֹ גַּם-זֹה רָאִיתִי אָנִי כִּי מִיַּד הָאֱלֹהִים הִֽיא׃
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
כִּי לְאָדָם שֶׁטּוֹב לְפָנָיו נָתַן חָכְמָה וְדַעַת וְשִׂמְחָה וְלַחוֹטֶא נָתַן עִנְיָן לֶאֱסוֹף וְלִכְנוֹס לָתֵת לְטוֹב לִפְנֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים גַּם-זֶה הֶבֶל וּרְעוּת רֽוּחַ׃
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
רָאִיתִי אֶת-הָֽעִנְיָן אֲשֶׁר נָתַן אֱלֹהִים לִבְנֵי הָאָדָם לַעֲנוֹת בּֽוֹ׃
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
אֶת-הַכֹּל עָשָׂה יָפֶה בְעִתּוֹ גַּם אֶת-הָעֹלָם נָתַן בְּלִבָּם מִבְּלִי אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יִמְצָא הָאָדָם אֶת-הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה הָאֱלֹהִים מֵרֹאשׁ וְעַד-סֽוֹף׃
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
וְגַם כָּל-הָאָדָם שֶׁיֹּאכַל וְשָׁתָה וְרָאָה טוֹב בְּכָל-עֲמָלוֹ מַתַּת אֱלֹהִים הִֽיא׃
And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
אָמַרְתִּֽי אֲנִי בְּלִבִּי עַל-דִּבְרַת בְּנֵי הָאָדָם לְבָרָם הָאֱלֹהִים וְלִרְאוֹת שְׁהֶם-בְּהֵמָה הֵמָּה לָהֶֽם׃
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
כִּי מִקְרֶה בְֽנֵי-הָאָדָם וּמִקְרֶה הַבְּהֵמָה וּמִקְרֶה אֶחָד לָהֶם כְּמוֹת זֶה כֵּן מוֹת זֶה וְרוּחַ אֶחָד לַכֹּל וּמוֹתַר הָאָדָם מִן-הַבְּהֵמָה אָיִן כִּי הַכֹּל הָֽבֶל׃
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
מִי יוֹדֵעַ רוּחַ בְּנֵי הָאָדָם הָעֹלָה הִיא לְמָעְלָה וְרוּחַ הַבְּהֵמָה הַיֹּרֶדֶת הִיא לְמַטָּה לָאָֽרֶץ׃
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
וְרָאִיתִי כִּי אֵין טוֹב מֵאֲשֶׁר יִשְׂמַח הָאָדָם בְּֽמַעֲשָׂיו כִּי-הוּא חֶלְקוֹ כִּי מִי יְבִיאֶנּוּ לִרְאוֹת בְּמֶה שֶׁיִּהְיֶה אַחֲרָֽיו׃
Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
וְרָאִיתִֽי אֲנִי אֶת-כָּל-עָמָל וְאֵת כָּל-כִּשְׁרוֹן הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂה כִּי הִיא קִנְאַת-אִישׁ מֵרֵעֵהוּ גַּם-זֶה הֶבֶל וּרְעוּת רֽוּחַ׃
Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
בִּרְבוֹת הַטּוֹבָה רַבּוּ אוֹכְלֶיהָ וּמַה-כִּשְׁרוֹן לִבְעָלֶיהָ כִּי אִם-(ראית) רְאוּת עֵינָֽיו׃
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
יֵשׁ רָעָה חוֹלָה רָאִיתִי תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ עֹשֶׁר שָׁמוּר לִבְעָלָיו לְרָעָתֽוֹ׃
There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
גַּם כָּֽל-הָאָדָם אֲשֶׁר נָֽתַן-לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים עֹשֶׁר וּנְכָסִים וְהִשְׁלִיטוֹ לֶאֱכֹל מִמֶּנּוּ וְלָשֵׂאת אֶת-חֶלְקוֹ וְלִשְׂמֹחַ בַּעֲמָלוֹ זֹה מַתַּת אֱלֹהִים הִֽיא׃
Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
יֵשׁ רָעָה אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ וְרַבָּה הִיא עַל-הָאָדָֽם׃
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִתֶּן-לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים עֹשֶׁר וּנְכָסִים וְכָבוֹד וְֽאֵינֶנּוּ חָסֵר לְנַפְשׁוֹ׀ מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יִתְאַוֶּה וְלֹֽא-יַשְׁלִיטֶנּוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לֶאֱכֹל מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי אִישׁ נָכְרִי יֹֽאכֲלֶנּוּ זֶה הֶבֶל וָחֳלִי רָע הֽוּא׃
A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
אִם-יוֹלִיד אִישׁ מֵאָה וְשָׁנִים רַבּוֹת יִֽחְיֶה וְרַב׀ שֶׁיִּהְיוּ יְמֵֽי-שָׁנָיו וְנַפְשׁוֹ לֹא-תִשְׂבַּע מִן-הַטּוֹבָה וְגַם-קְבוּרָה לֹא-הָיְתָה לּוֹ אָמַרְתִּי טוֹב מִמֶּנּוּ הַנָּֽפֶל׃
If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
כָּל-עֲמַל הָאָדָם לְפִיהוּ וְגַם-הַנֶּפֶשׁ לֹא תִמָּלֵֽא׃
All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
מַה-שֶּֽׁהָיָה כְּבָר נִקְרָא שְׁמוֹ וְנוֹדָע אֲשֶׁר-הוּא אָדָם וְלֹא-יוּכַל לָדִין עִם (שהתקיף) שֶׁתַּקִּיף מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
כִּי יֵשׁ-דְּבָרִים הַרְבֵּה מַרְבִּים הָבֶל מַה-יֹּתֵר לָאָדָֽם׃
Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
כִּי מִֽי-יוֹדֵעַ מַה-טּוֹב לָֽאָדָם בַּֽחַיִּים מִסְפַּר יְמֵי-חַיֵּי הֶבְלוֹ וְיַעֲשֵׂם כַּצֵּל אֲשֶׁר מִֽי-יַגִּיד לָֽאָדָם מַה-יִּהְיֶה אַחֲרָיו תַּחַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃
For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
טוֹב לָלֶכֶת אֶל-בֵּֽית-אֵבֶל מִלֶּכֶת אֶל-בֵּית מִשְׁתֶּה בַּאֲשֶׁר הוּא סוֹף כָּל-הָאָדָם וְהַחַי יִתֵּן אֶל-לִבּֽוֹ׃
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
טוֹב לִשְׁמֹעַ גַּעֲרַת חָכָם מֵאִישׁ שֹׁמֵעַ שִׁיר כְּסִילִֽים׃
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
כִּי בְּצֵל הַֽחָכְמָה בְּצֵל הַכָּסֶף וְיִתְרוֹן דַּעַת הַֽחָכְמָה תְּחַיֶּה בְעָלֶֽיהָ׃
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
בְּיוֹם טוֹבָה הֱיֵה בְטוֹב וּבְיוֹם רָעָה רְאֵה גַּם אֶת-זֶה לְעֻמַּת-זֶה עָשָׂה הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל-דִּבְרַת שֶׁלֹּא יִמְצָא הָֽאָדָם אַחֲרָיו מְאֽוּמָה׃
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
כִּי אָדָם אֵין צַדִּיק בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה-טּוֹב וְלֹא יֶחֱטָֽא׃
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
אֲשֶׁר עוֹד-בִּקְשָׁה נַפְשִׁי וְלֹא מָצָאתִי אָדָם אֶחָד מֵאֶלֶף מָצָאתִי וְאִשָּׁה בְכָל-אֵלֶּה לֹא מָצָֽאתִי׃
Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
לְבַד רְאֵה-זֶה מָצָאתִי אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הָאֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאָדָם יָשָׁר וְהֵמָּה בִקְשׁוּ חִשְּׁבֹנוֹת רַבִּֽים׃
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
מִי כְּהֶחָכָם וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ פֵּשֶׁר דָּבָר חָכְמַת אָדָם תָּאִיר פָּנָיו וְעֹז פָּנָיו יְשֻׁנֶּֽא׃
Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
כִּי לְכָל-חֵפֶץ יֵשׁ עֵת וּמִשְׁפָּט כִּֽי-רָעַת הָאָדָם רַבָּה עָלָֽיו׃
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
אֵין אָדָם שַׁלִּיט בָּרוּחַ לִכְלוֹא אֶת-הָרוּחַ וְאֵין שִׁלְטוֹן בְּיוֹם הַמָּוֶת וְאֵין מִשְׁלַחַת בַּמִּלְחָמָה וְלֹֽא-יְמַלֵּט רֶשַׁע אֶת-בְּעָלָֽיו׃
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
אֶת-כָּל-זֶה רָאִיתִי וְנָתוֹן אֶת-לִבִּי לְכָֽל-מַעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ עֵת אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַט הָאָדָם בְּאָדָם לְרַע לֽוֹ׃
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
אֲשֶׁר אֵין-נַעֲשָׂה פִתְגָם מַעֲשֵׂה הָרָעָה מְהֵרָה עַל-כֵּן מָלֵא לֵב בְּֽנֵי-הָאָדָם בָּהֶם לַעֲשׂוֹת רָֽע׃
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
וְשִׁבַּחְתִּֽי אֲנִי אֶת-הַשִּׂמְחָה אֲשֶׁר אֵֽין-טוֹב לָֽאָדָם תַּחַת הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ כִּי אִם-לֶאֱכֹל וְלִשְׁתּוֹת וְלִשְׂמוֹחַ וְהוּא יִלְוֶנּוּ בַעֲמָלוֹ יְמֵי חַיָּיו אֲשֶׁר-נָֽתַן-לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים תַּחַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
וְרָאִיתִי אֶת-כָּל-מַעֲשֵׂה הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי לֹא יוּכַל הָאָדָם לִמְצוֹא אֶת-הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה תַֽחַת-הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ בְּשֶׁל אֲשֶׁר יַעֲמֹל הָאָדָם לְבַקֵּשׁ וְלֹא יִמְצָא וְגַם אִם-יֹאמַר הֶֽחָכָם לָדַעַת לֹא יוּכַל לִמְצֹֽא׃
Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
כִּי אֶת-כָּל-זֶה נָתַתִּי אֶל-לִבִּי וְלָבוּר אֶת-כָּל-זֶה אֲשֶׁר הַצַּדִּיקִים וְהַחֲכָמִים וַעֲבָדֵיהֶם בְּיַד הָאֱלֹהִים גַּֽם-אַהֲבָה גַם-שִׂנְאָה אֵין יוֹדֵעַ הָֽאָדָם הַכֹּל לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.
זֶה׀ רָע בְּכֹל אֲשֶֽׁר-נַעֲשָׂה תַּחַת הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ כִּֽי-מִקְרֶה אֶחָד לַכֹּל וְגַם לֵב בְּֽנֵי-הָאָדָם מָלֵא-רָע וְהוֹלֵלוֹת בִּלְבָבָם בְּחַיֵּיהֶם וְאַחֲרָיו אֶל-הַמֵּתִֽים׃
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
כִּי גַּם לֹֽא-יֵדַע הָאָדָם אֶת-עִתּוֹ כַּדָּגִים שֶׁנֶּֽאֱחָזִים בִּמְצוֹדָה רָעָה וְכַצִּפֳּרִים הָאֲחֻזוֹת בַּפָּח כָּהֵם יֽוּקָשִׁים בְּנֵי הָֽאָדָם לְעֵת רָעָה כְּשֶׁתִּפּוֹל עֲלֵיהֶם פִּתְאֹֽם׃
For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
עִיר קְטַנָּה וַאֲנָשִׁים בָּהּ מְעָט וּבָֽא-אֵלֶיהָ מֶלֶךְ גָּדוֹל וְסָבַב אֹתָהּ וּבָנָה עָלֶיהָ מְצוֹדִים גְּדֹלִֽים׃
There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
וּמָצָא בָהּ אִישׁ מִסְכֵּן חָכָם וּמִלַּט-הוּא אֶת-הָעִיר בְּחָכְמָתוֹ וְאָדָם לֹא זָכַר אֶת-הָאִישׁ הַמִּסְכֵּן הַהֽוּא׃
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
אִם-יִשֹּׁךְ הַנָּחָשׁ בְּלוֹא-לָחַשׁ וְאֵין יִתְרוֹן לְבַעַל הַלָּשֽׁוֹן׃
Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
וְהַסָּכָל יַרְבֶּה דְבָרִים לֹא-יֵדַע הָאָדָם מַה-שֶׁיִּֽהְיֶה וַאֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיֶה מֵֽאַחֲרָיו מִי יַגִּיד לֽוֹ׃
A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
גַּם בְּמַדָּֽעֲךָ מֶלֶךְ אַל-תְּקַלֵּל וּבְחַדְרֵי מִשְׁכָּבְךָ אַל-תְּקַלֵּל עָשִׁיר כִּי עוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם יוֹלִיךְ אֶת-הַקּוֹל וּבַעַל (הכנפים) כְּנָפַיִם יַגֵּיד דָּבָֽר׃
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
כִּי אִם-שָׁנִים הַרְבֵּה יִחְיֶה הָאָדָם בְּכֻלָּם יִשְׂמָח וְיִזְכֹּר אֶת-יְמֵי הַחֹשֶׁךְ כִּֽי-הַרְבֵּה יִהְיוּ כָּל-שֶׁבָּא הָֽבֶל׃
But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
בַּיּוֹם שֶׁיָּזֻעוּ שֹׁמְרֵי הַבַּיִת וְהִֽתְעַוְּתוּ אַנְשֵׁי הֶחָיִל וּבָטְלוּ הַטֹּֽחֲנוֹת כִּי מִעֵטוּ וְחָשְׁכוּ הָרֹאוֹת בָּאֲרֻבּֽוֹת׃
In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
גַּם מִגָּבֹהַּ יִרָאוּ וְחַתְחַתִּים בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְיָנֵאץ הַשָּׁקֵד וְיִסְתַּבֵּל הֶֽחָגָב וְתָפֵר הָֽאֲבִיּוֹנָה כִּֽי-הֹלֵךְ הָאָדָם אֶל-בֵּית עוֹלָמוֹ וְסָבְבוּ בַשּׁוּק הַסּוֹפְדִֽים׃
Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים כַּדָּרְבֹנוֹת וּֽכְמַשְׂמְרוֹת נְטוּעִים בַּעֲלֵי אֲסֻפּוֹת נִתְּנוּ מֵרֹעֶה אֶחָֽד׃
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
סוֹף דָּבָר הַכֹּל נִשְׁמָע אֶת-הָאֱלֹהִים יְרָא וְאֶת-מִצְוֹתָיו שְׁמוֹר כִּי-זֶה כָּל-הָאָדָֽם׃
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
כֻּלָּם אֲחֻזֵי חֶרֶב מְלֻמְּדֵי מִלְחָמָה אִישׁ חַרְבּוֹ עַל-יְרֵכוֹ מִפַּחַד בַּלֵּילֽוֹת׃
They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
מַיִם רַבִּים לֹא יֽוּכְלוּ לְכַבּוֹת אֶת-הָֽאַהֲבָה וּנְהָרוֹת לֹא יִשְׁטְפוּהָ אִם-יִתֵּן אִישׁ אֶת-כָּל-הוֹן בֵּיתוֹ בָּאַהֲבָה בּוֹז יָבוּזוּ לֽוֹ׃
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
כֶּרֶם הָיָה לִשְׁלֹמֹה בְּבַעַל הָמוֹן נָתַן אֶת-הַכֶּרֶם לַנֹּטְרִים אִישׁ יָבִא בְּפִרְיוֹ אֶלֶף כָּֽסֶף׃
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
יָדַע שׁוֹר קֹנֵהוּ וַחֲמוֹר אֵבוּס בְּעָלָיו יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יָדַע עַמִּי לֹא הִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
וַיִּשַּׁח אָדָם וַיִּשְׁפַּל-אִישׁ וְאַל-תִּשָּׂא לָהֶֽם׃
And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
עֵינֵי גַּבְהוּת אָדָם שָׁפֵל וְשַׁח רוּם אֲנָשִׁים וְנִשְׂגַּב יְהוָה לְבַדּוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַהֽוּא׃
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
וְשַׁח גַּבְהוּת הָאָדָם וְשָׁפֵל רוּם אֲנָשִׁים וְנִשְׂגַּב יְהוָה לְבַדּוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַהֽוּא׃
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יַשְׁלִיךְ הָאָדָם אֵת אֱלִילֵי כַסְפּוֹ וְאֵת אֱלִילֵי זְהָבוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָֽשׂוּ-לוֹ לְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֹת לַחְפֹּר פֵּרוֹת וְלָעֲטַלֵּפִֽים׃
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made himself each one for to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
חִדְלוּ לָכֶם מִן-הָאָדָם אֲשֶׁר נְשָׁמָה בְּאַפּוֹ כִּֽי-בַמֶּה נֶחְשָׁב הֽוּא׃
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
גִּבּוֹר וְאִישׁ מִלְחָמָה שׁוֹפֵט וְנָבִיא וְקֹסֵם וְזָקֵֽן׃
The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
וְנִגַּשׂ הָעָם אִישׁ בְּאִישׁ וְאִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ יִרְהֲבוּ הַנַּעַר בַּזָּקֵן וְהַנִּקְלֶה בַּנִּכְבָּֽד׃
And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
כִּֽי-יִתְפֹּשׂ אִישׁ בְּאָחִיו בֵּית אָבִיו שִׂמְלָה לְכָה קָצִין תִּֽהְיֶה-לָּנוּ וְהַמַּכְשֵׁלָה הַזֹּאת תַּחַת יָדֶֽךָ׃
When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
וְהֶחֱזִיקוּ שֶׁבַע נָשִׁים בְּאִישׁ אֶחָד בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לֵאמֹר לַחְמֵנוּ נֹאכֵל וְשִׂמְלָתֵנוּ נִלְבָּשׁ רַק יִקָּרֵא שִׁמְךָ עָלֵינוּ אֱסֹף חֶרְפָּתֵֽנוּ׃
And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
וְעַתָּה יוֹשֵׁב יְרוּשָׁלִַם וְאִישׁ יְהוּדָה שִׁפְטוּ-נָא בֵּינִי וּבֵין כַּרְמִֽי׃
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
כִּי כֶרֶם יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאִישׁ יְהוּדָה נְטַע שַׁעֲשׁוּעָיו וַיְקַו לְמִשְׁפָּט וְהִנֵּה מִשְׂפָּח לִצְדָקָה וְהִנֵּה צְעָקָֽה׃
For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
וַיִּשַּׁח אָדָם וַיִּשְׁפַּל-אִישׁ וְעֵינֵי גְבֹהִים תִּשְׁפַּֽלְנָה׃
And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
הוֹי גִּבּוֹרִים לִשְׁתּוֹת יָיִן וְאַנְשֵׁי-חַיִל לִמְסֹךְ שֵׁכָֽר׃
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
