So I returned
וְשַׁ֣בְתִּֽי
H7725
אֲנִ֗י
H589
and considered
וָאֶרְאֶה֙
H7200

under the sun
הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ
H8121
וְהִנֵּ֣ה׀
H2009
and behold the tears
דִּמְעַ֣ת
H1832
all the oppressions
הָעֲשֻׁקִ֗ים
H6217
וְאֵ֤ין
H369
לָהֶם֙

and they had no comforter

H5162
and on the side

Wherefore I praised

אֶת

which are already

Again I considered
