6:1 There is 3426 an evil 7451 which I have seen 7200 8804 under the sun 8121, and it [is] common 7227 among men 120:

6:2 A man 376 to whom God 430 hath given 5414 8799 riches 6239, wealth 5233, and honour 3519, so that he wanteth 2638 nothing for his soul 5315 of all that he desireth 183 8691, yet God 430 giveth him not power 7980 8686 to eat 398 8800 thereof, but a stranger 376 5237 eateth 398 8799 it: this [is] vanity 1892, and it [is] an evil 7451 disease 2483.

6:3 If a man 376 beget 3205 8686 an hundred 3967 [children], and live 2421 8799 many 7227 years 8141, so that the days 3117 of his years 8141 be many 7227, and his soul 5315 be not filled 7646 8799 with good 2896, and also [that] he have no burial 6900; I say 559 8804, [that] an untimely birth 5309 [is] better 2896 than he.

6:4 For he cometh 935 8804 in with vanity 1892, and departeth 3212 8799 in darkness 2822, and his name 8034 shall be covered 3680 8792 with darkness 2822.

6:5 Moreover he hath not seen 7200 8804 the sun 8121, nor known 3045 8804 [any thing]: this 2088 hath more rest 5183 than 2088 the other.

6:6 Yea, though 432 he live 2421 8804 a thousand 505 years 8141 twice 6471 [told], yet hath he seen 7200 8804 no good 2896: do not all go 1980 8802 to one 259 place 4725?

6:7 All the labour 5999 of man 120 [is] for his mouth 6310, and yet the appetite 5315 is not filled 4390 8735.(appetite: Heb. soul)

6:8 For what hath the wise 2450 more 3148 than the fool 3684? what hath the poor 6041, that knoweth 3045 8802 to walk 1980 8800 before the living 2416?

6:9 Better 2896 [is] the sight 4758 of the eyes 5869 than the wandering 1980 8800 of the desire 5315: this [is] also vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit 7307.(than…: Heb. than the walking of the soul)

6:10 That which hath been is named 7121 8738 8034 already 3528, and it is known 3045 8737 that it [is] man 120: neither may 3201 8799 he contend 1777 8800 with him that is mightier 8623 than he.

6:11 Seeing there be 3426 many 7235 8687 things 1697 that increase 7235 8688 vanity 1892, what [is] man 120 the better 3148?

6:12 For who knoweth 3045 8802 what [is] good 2896 for man 120 in [this] life 2416, all 4557 the days 3117 of his vain 1892 life 2416 which he spendeth 6213 8799 as a shadow 6738? for who can tell 5046 8686 a man 120 what shall be after 310 him under the sun 8121?(all…: Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity)
