15 I considered all the │ I have observed of all lives living which walk under the │ whatsoever, as they are sun, with the second child │ progressing in this work-day that shall stand up in his │ world, in regard to any stead. │ successors which may arise in │ their places, (15.) =I have seen= (‘observed as matter of fact’), =with respect to all the lives= (which the LXX. render σύμπαντας τοὺς ζῶντας), =the proceeding ones= (participle, piel plural with the article――LXX. τοὺς περιπατοῦντας――occurs here and Psalms civ. 3, Proverbs vi. 11; ‘as they are advancing’ must be the meaning, and hence the observation was made with regard to the _progress_ of these lives), =under the sun= (that is, in this stage of their existence; the limitation here is excessively important,) =together with the child= (with the article, generic, and giving the meaning of that which is ‘begotten of them,’ of course children primarily, but not exclusively; the ‘heir’ or ‘successors’ would represent the idea), =the second= (_i.e._ the _immediate_ successor) =who stands in their stead= (plural, which nevertheless the LXX. render ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ, and rightly, because it is an instance of a distributive plural, with regard to הילד). 16 _There is_ no end of all │ that no result was ever reached the people, _even_ of all that │ by the [_moiling_] multitude have been before them: they │ in the past: and as to what also that come after shall not │ succeeds them, they will have rejoice in him. Surely this │ no [_earthly_] pleasure in also _is_ vanity and vexation │ that. Another instance of of spirit. │ evanescence and vexing of │ spirit.
