alas! woe! interjection of lament or distress
A late Hebrew interjection expressing distress or pity, appearing only in Ecclesiastes. In Ecclesiastes 4:10, it introduces sympathy for the solitary person who falls with no one to help: 'but alas for him who is alone when he falls.' In Ecclesiastes 10:16, it laments a land whose king is immature: 'Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child.' The Masoretes wrote it as one word with the following pronoun, though it functions as an independent exclamation.

1. sense 1 — Multilingual patterns show recognition of the lamenting force: English 'woe' and 'woe to him,' Spanish 'ay de' (alas for), French 'malheur' (misfortune), German bracketing or preserving Hebrew. The Rabbinic literature confirms this as an exclamation of distress. Both Qohelet contexts involve unfortunate circumstances—isolation and bad governance—fitting the book's realistic appraisal of life's hardships. 2×
