I ECC 003 014 {I} know <03045 +yada< > that , whatsoever God

I ECC 003 016 .  And moreover <05750 +<owd > {I} saw <07200

I ECC 003 017 {I} said <00559 +>amar > in mine heart <03820 +leb

I ECC 003 022 Wherefore <04100 +mah > {I} perceive <07200 +ra>ah

I ECC 004 001 .  So {I} returned <07725 +shuwb > , and

I ECC 004 002 Wherefore {I} praised <07623 +shabach > the dead
