Strong's Interlinear
Hebrew and Greek

I said

אָמַ֤רְתִּֽי

 

אֲנִי֙

in mine heart

בְּלִבִּ֔י

 

לְכָה

 

נָּ֛א

I will prove

אֲנַסְּכָ֥ה

thee with mirth

בְשִׂמְחָ֖ה

therefore enjoy

וּרְאֵ֣ה

pleasure

בְט֑וֹב

 

וְהִנֵּ֥ה

 

גַם

 

ה֖וּא

and behold this also is vanity

הָֽבֶל׃

of laughter

לִשְׂח֖וֹק

I said

אָמַ֣רְתִּי

It is mad

מְהוֹלָ֑ל

and of mirth

וּלְשִׂמְחָ֖ה

 

מַה

What

זֹּ֥ה

doeth

עֹשָֽׂה׃

I sought

תַּ֣רְתִּי

in mine heart

וְלִבִּ֞י

to give

לִמְשׁ֥וֹךְ

unto wine

בַּיַּ֖יִן

 

אֶת

myself

בְּשָׂרִ֑י

in mine heart

וְלִבִּ֞י

yet acquainting

נֹהֵ֤ג

with wisdom

בַּֽחָכְמָה֙

and to lay hold

וְלֶאֱחֹ֣ז

on folly

בְּסִכְל֔וּת

 

עַ֣ד

 

אֲשֶׁר

till I might see

אֶרְאֶ֗ה

 

אֵי

 

זֶ֨ה

what was that good

ט֜וֹב

for the sons

לִבְנֵ֤י

of men

הָאָדָם֙

 

אֲשֶׁ֤ר

which they should do

יַעֲשׂוּ֙

 

תַּ֣חַת

under the heaven

הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם

all

מִסְפַּ֖ר

the days

יְמֵ֥י

of their life

חַיֵּיהֶֽם׃

I made me great

הִגְדַּ֖לְתִּי

works

מַעֲשָׂ֑י

I builded

בָּנִ֤יתִי

 

לִי֙

me houses

בָּתִּ֔ים

I planted

נָטַ֥עְתִּי

 

לִ֖י

me vineyards

כְּרָמִֽים׃

I made

עָשִׂ֣יתִי

 

לִ֔י

me gardens

גַּנּ֖וֹת

and orchards

וּפַרְדֵּסִ֑ים

and I planted

וְנָטַ֥עְתִּי

 

בָהֶ֖ם

trees

עֵ֥ץ

 

כָּל

in them of all kind of fruits

פֶּֽרִי׃

I made

עָשִׂ֥יתִי

 

לִ֖י

me pools

בְּרֵכ֣וֹת

of water

מָ֑יִם

to water

לְהַשְׁק֣וֹת

 

מֵהֶ֔ם

therewith the wood

יַ֖עַר

that bringeth forth

צוֹמֵ֥חַ

trees

עֵצִֽים׃

I got

קָנִ֙יתִי֙

me servants

עֲבָדִ֣ים

and maidens

וּשְׁפָח֔וֹת

and had servants born

וּבְנֵי

in my house

בַ֖יִת

 

הָ֣יָה

 

לִ֑י

 

גַּ֣ם

possessions

מִקְנֶה֩

of great

בָקָ֨ר

and small cattle

וָצֹ֤אן

also I had great

הַרְבֵּה֙

 

הָ֣יָה

 

לִ֔י

 

מִכֹּ֛ל

 

שֶֽׁהָי֥וּ

before

לְפָנַ֖י

above all that were in Jerusalem

בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃

I gathered

כָּנַ֤סְתִּי

 

לִי֙

 

גַּם

me also silver

כֶּ֣סֶף

and gold

וְזָהָ֔ב

and the peculiar

וּסְגֻלַּ֥ת

treasure of kings

מְלָכִ֖ים

and of the provinces

וְהַמְּדִינ֑וֹת

I gat

עָשִׂ֨יתִי

 

לִ֜י

and women singers

וְשָׁר֗וֹת

and women singers

וְשָׁר֗וֹת

and the delights

וְתַעֲנוּגֹ֛ת

of the sons

בְּנֵ֥י

of men

הָאָדָ֖ם

as musical instruments

וְשִׁדּֽוֹת׃

as musical instruments

וְשִׁדּֽוֹת׃

So I was great

וְגָדַ֣לְתִּי

and increased

וְהוֹסַ֔פְתִּי

 

מִכֹּ֛ל

 

שֶׁהָיָ֥ה

more than all that were before

לְפָנַ֖י

me in Jerusalem

בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

 

אַ֥ף

also my wisdom

חָכְמָתִ֖י

remained

עָ֥מְדָה

 

לִּֽי׃

 

וְכֹל֙

 

אֲשֶׁ֣ר

desired

שָֽׁאֲל֣וּ

And whatsoever mine eyes

עֵינַ֔י

 

לֹ֥א

I kept

אָצַ֖לְתִּי

 

מֵהֶ֑ם

 

לֹֽא

not from them I withheld

מָנַ֨עְתִּי

 

אֶת

for my heart

לִבִּ֤י

 

מִכָּל

from any joy

שִׂמְחָ֗ה

 

כִּֽי

for my heart

לִבִּ֤י

rejoiced

שָׂמֵ֙חַ֙

 

מִכָּל

in all my labour

עֲמָלִֽי׃

 

וְזֶֽה

 

הָיָ֥ה

and this was my portion

חֶלְקִ֖י

 

מִכָּל

in all my labour

עֲמָלִֽי׃

Then I looked

וּפָנִ֣יתִֽי

 

אֲנִ֗י

 

בְּכָל

on all the works

מַעֲשַׂי֙

had wrought

לַעֲשׂ֑וֹת

that my hands

יָדַ֔י

and on the labour

וּבֶֽעָמָ֖ל

that I had laboured

שֶׁעָמַ֣לְתִּי

had wrought

לַעֲשׂ֑וֹת

 

וְהִנֵּ֨ה

 

הַכֹּ֥ל

and behold all was vanity

הֶ֙בֶל֙

and vexation

וּרְע֣וּת

of spirit

ר֔וּחַ

 

וְאֵ֥ין

and there was no profit

יִתְר֖וֹן

 

תַּ֥חַת

under the sun

הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃

And I turned

וּפָנִ֤יתִֽי

 

אֲנִי֙

myself to behold

לִרְא֣וֹת

wisdom

חָכְמָ֔ה

and madness

וְהוֹלֵל֖וֹת

and folly

וְסִכְל֑וּת

 

כִּ֣י׀

 

מֶ֣ה

for what can the man

הָאָדָ֗ם

do that cometh

שֶׁיָּבוֹא֙

after

אַחֲרֵ֣י

the king

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ

 

אֵ֥ת

 

אֲשֶׁר

even that which hath been already

כְּבָ֖ר

done

עָשֽׂוּהוּ׃

Then I saw

וְרָאִ֣יתִי

 

אָ֔נִי

that

שֶׁיֵּ֥שׁ

excelleth

כִּֽיתְר֥וֹן

wisdom

לַֽחָכְמָ֖ה

 

מִן

folly

הַסִּכְל֑וּת

excelleth

כִּֽיתְר֥וֹן

as far as light

הָא֖וֹר

 

מִן

darkness

הַחֹֽשֶׁךְ׃

The wise man's

הֶֽחָכָם֙

eyes

עֵינָ֣יו

are in his head

בְּרֹאשׁ֔וֹ

but the fool

וְהַכְּסִ֖יל

in darkness

בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ

walketh

הוֹלֵ֑ךְ

and I myself perceived

וְיָדַ֣עְתִּי

 

גַם

 

אָ֔נִי

event

שֶׁמִּקְרֶ֥ה

also that one

אֶחָ֖ד

happeneth

יִקְרֶ֥ה

 

אֶת

 

כֻּלָּֽם׃

said

וְאָמַ֨רְתִּֽי

 

אֲנִ֜י

I in my heart

בְלִבִּ֔י

As it happeneth

כְּמִקְרֵ֤ה

to the fool

הַכְּסִיל֙

even to me

שֶׁגַּם

 

אֲנִ֣י

so it happeneth

יִקְרֵ֔נִי

 

וְלָ֧מָּה

wise

חָכַ֛מְתִּי

 

אֲנִ֖י

Then

אָ֣ז

and why was I then more

יוֹתֵ֑ר

Then I said

וְדִבַּ֣רְתִּי

I in my heart

בְלִבִּ֔י

even to me

שֶׁגַּם

 

זֶ֖ה

that this also is vanity

הָֽבֶל׃

 

כִּי֩

 

אֵ֨ין

For there is no remembrance

זִכְר֧וֹן

of the wise

הֶחָכָ֖ם

more than

עִֽם

man as the fool

הַכְּסִֽיל׃

for ever

לְעוֹלָ֑ם

seeing that which now

בְּשֶׁכְּבָ֞ר

is in the days

הַיָּמִ֤ים

to come

הַבָּאִים֙

 

הַכֹּ֣ל

shall all be forgotten

נִשְׁכָּ֔ח

 

וְאֵ֛יךְ

And how dieth

יָמ֥וּת

of the wise

הֶחָכָ֖ם

more than

עִֽם

man as the fool

הַכְּסִֽיל׃

Therefore I hated

וְשָׂנֵ֙אתִי֙

 

אֶת

life

הַ֣חַיִּ֔ים

 

כִּ֣י

is grievous

רַ֤ע

 

עָלַי֙

because the work

הַֽמַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה

that is wrought

שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂ֖ה

 

תַּ֣חַת

under the sun

הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ

 

כִּֽי

 

הַכֹּ֥ל

unto me for all is vanity

הֶ֖בֶל

and vexation

וּרְע֥וּת

of spirit

רֽוּחַ׃

Yea I hated

וְשָׂנֵ֤אתִֽי

 

אֲנִי֙

 

אֶת

 

כָּל

all my labour

עֲמָלִ֔י

 

שֶׁאֲנִ֥י

which I had taken

עָמֵ֖ל

 

תַּ֣חַת

under the sun

הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ

because I should leave

שֶׁ֣אַנִּיחֶ֔נּוּ

it unto the man

לָאָדָ֖ם

 

שֶׁיִּהְיֶ֥ה

that shall be after

אַחֲרָֽי׃

 

וּמִ֣י

And who knoweth

יוֹדֵ֗עַ

whether he shall be a wise

הֶֽחָכָ֤ם

 

יִהְיֶה֙

 

א֣וֹ

man or a fool

סָכָ֔ל

yet shall he have rule

וְיִשְׁלַט֙

 

בְּכָל

over all my labour

עֲמָלִ֔י

wherein I have laboured

שֶֽׁעָמַ֥לְתִּי

and wherein I have shewed myself wise

וְשֶׁחָכַ֖מְתִּי

 

תַּ֣חַת

under the sun

הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ

 

גַּם

 

זֶ֖ה

This is also vanity

הָֽבֶל׃

Therefore I went about

וְסַבּ֥וֹתִֽי

 

אֲנִ֖י

to cause

לְיַאֵ֣שׁ

 

אֶת

my heart

לִבִּ֑י

 

עַ֚ל

 

כָּל

of all the labour

הֶ֣עָמָ֔ל

which I took

שֶׁעָמַ֖לְתִּי

 

תַּ֥חַת

under the sun

הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃

 

כִּי

For there is

יֵ֣שׁ

a man

וּלְאָדָ֞ם

whose labour

שֶׁעֲמָל֛וֹ

is in wisdom

בְּחָכְמָ֥ה

and in knowledge

וּבְדַ֖עַת

and in equity

וּבְכִשְׁר֑וֹן

a man

וּלְאָדָ֞ם

 

שֶׁלֹּ֤א

that hath not laboured

עָֽמַל

 

בּוֹ֙

therein shall he leave

יִתְּנֶ֣נּוּ

it for his portion

חֶלְק֔וֹ

 

גַּם

 

זֶ֥ה

This also is vanity

הֶ֖בֶל

evil

וְרָעָ֥ה

and a great

רַבָּֽה׃

 

כִּ֠י

 

מֶֽה

For what hath

הוֶֹ֤ה

man

לָֽאָדָם֙

 

בְּכָל

of all his labour

עֲמָל֔וֹ

and of the vexation

וּבְרַעְי֖וֹן

of his heart

לִבּ֑וֹ

wherein

שֶׁה֥וּא

he hath laboured

עָמֵ֖ל

 

תַּ֥חַת

under the sun

הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃

 

כִּ֧י

 

כָל

For all his days

יָמָ֣יו

are sorrows

מַכְאֹבִ֗ים

grief

וָכַ֙עַס֙

and his travail

עִנְיָנ֔וֹ

 

גַּם

in the night

בַּלַּ֖יְלָה

 

לֹא

taketh not rest

שָׁכַ֣ב

yea his heart

לִבּ֑וֹ

 

גַּם

 

זֶ֖ה

This is also vanity

הֶ֥בֶל

 

הֽוּא׃

 

אֵֽין

There is nothing better

ט֖וֹב

for a man

בָּאָדָם֙

than that he should eat

שֶׁיֹּאכַ֣ל

and drink

וְשָׁתָ֔ה

 

וְהֶרְאָ֧ה

 

אֶת

and that he should make his soul

נַפְשׁ֛וֹ

There is nothing better

ט֖וֹב

in his labour

בַּעֲמָל֑וֹ

 

גַּם

This

זֹה֙

also I saw

רָאִ֣יתִי

 

אָ֔נִי

 

כִּ֛י

that it was from the hand

מִיַּ֥ד

of God

הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים

 

הִֽיא׃

 

כִּ֣י

 

מִ֥י

For who can eat

יֹאכַ֛ל

 

וּמִ֥י

or who else can hasten

יָח֖וּשׁ

hereunto more

ח֥וּץ

 

מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

 

כִּ֤י

to a man

לְאָדָם֙

that is good

לְטוֹב֙

before

לִפְנֵ֣י

For God giveth

לָתֵת֙

wisdom

חָכְמָ֥ה

and knowledge

וְדַ֖עַת

and joy

וְשִׂמְחָ֑ה

but to the sinner

וְלַחוֹטֶא֩

For God giveth

לָתֵת֙

travail

עִנְיָ֜ן

to gather

לֶאֱס֣וֹף

and to heap up

וְלִכְנ֗וֹס

For God giveth

לָתֵת֙

that is good

לְטוֹב֙

before

לִפְנֵ֣י

God

הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים

 

גַּם

 

זֶ֥ה

This also is vanity

הֶ֖בֶל

and vexation

וּרְע֥וּת

of spirit

רֽוּחַ׃
