The Futility of Life
1
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men:
| E | ISh | ROA | EShR | REIThI | ThChTh | AShMSh
|
| | he-will·? | ? | which | ? | under | the·brightness
|
| | URBA | AIE | OL- | AEDM
|
| | and·? | the·he-will·I-will | on | the·man
|
|
2
a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wants nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eats it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul have not enough of good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he;

for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;
| D | KI- | BABL | BE | UBChShK | ILK
|
| | that | in·the·in·to | come | and·in·dark | he-will·to·as
|

|

moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it; this has gratification rather than the other;

yes, though he live a thousand years twice told, and enjoy no good; do not all go to one place?

All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? or the poor man that has understanding, in walking before the living?
| Ch | KI | MA- | IUThR | LChKM | MN- | AKSIL

Better is the seeing of the eyes than the wandering of the desire; this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Whatsoever comes into being, the name thereof was given long ago, and it is foreknown what man is; neither can he contend with Him that is mightier than he.

Seeing there are many words that increase vanity, what is man the better?

For who knows what is good for man in his life, all the days of his vain life which he spends as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
