Ecc 01:01 ¶ The words <01697> of the Preacher <06953>, the son 
<01121> of David <01732>, king <04428> in Jerusalem <03389>.

Ecc 01:02  Vanity <01892> of vanities <01892>, saith <0559> 
(8804) the Preacher <06953>, vanity <01892> of vanities <01892>; 
all is vanity <01892>.

Ecc 01:03  What profit <03504> hath a man <0120> of all his 
labour <05999> which he taketh <05998> (8799) under the sun 
<08121>?

Ecc 01:04 ¶ One generation <01755> passeth away <01980> (8802), 
and another generation <01755> cometh <0935> (8802) (8676) 
<0935> (8804): but the earth <0776> abideth <05975> (8802) for 
ever <05769>.

Ecc 01:05  The sun <08121> also ariseth <02224> (8804), and the 
sun <08121> goeth down <0935> (8804), and hasteth <07602> (8802) 
to his place <04725> where he arose <02224> (8802).

Ecc 01:06  The wind <07307> goeth <01980> (8802) toward the 
south <01864>, and turneth about <05437> (8802) unto the north 
<06828>; it whirleth about continually <01980> (8802), and the 
wind <07307> returneth again <07725> (8804) according to his 
circuits <05439>.

Ecc 01:07  All the rivers <05158> run <01980> (8802) into the 
sea <03220>; yet the sea <03220> is not full <04392>; unto the 
place <04725> from whence the rivers <05158> come <01980> (8802),
 thither they return <07725> (8802) again <03212> (8800).

Ecc 01:08  All things <01697> are full of labour <03023>; man 
<0376> cannot <03201> (8799) utter <01696> (8763) it: the eye 
<05869> is not satisfied <07646> (8799) with seeing <07200> 
(8800), nor the ear <0241> filled <04390> (8735) with hearing 
<08085> (8800).

Ecc 01:09 ¶ The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; 
and that which is done <06213> (8738) is that which shall be 
done <06213> (8735): and there is no new <02319> thing under the 
sun <08121>.

Ecc 01:10  Is there <03426> any thing <01697> whereof it may be 
said <0559> (8799), See <07200> (8798), this is new <02319>? it 
hath been already <03528> of old time <05769>, which was before 
<06440> us.

Ecc 01:11  There is no remembrance <02146> of former <07223> 
things; neither shall there be any remembrance <02146> of things 
that are to come <0314> with those that shall come after <0314>.

Ecc 01:12 ¶ I the Preacher <06953> was king <04428> over Israel 
<03478> in Jerusalem <03389>.

Ecc 01:13  And I gave <05414> (8804) my heart <03820> to seek 
<01875> (8800) and search out <08446> (8800) by wisdom <02451> 
concerning all things that are done <06213> (8738) under heaven 
<08064>: this sore <07451> travail <06045> hath God <0430> given 
<05414> (8804) to the sons <01121> of man <0120> to be exercised 
<06031> (8800) therewith.

Ecc 01:14  I have seen <07200> (8804) all the works <04639> that 
are done <06213> (8738) under the sun <08121>; and, behold, all 
is vanity <01892> and vexation <07469> of spirit <07307>.

Ecc 01:15  That which is crooked <05791> (8794) cannot <03201> 
(8799) be made straight <08626> (8800): and that which is 
wanting <02642> cannot <03201> (8799) be numbered <04487> (8736).

Ecc 01:16  I communed <01696> (8765) with mine own heart <03820>,
 saying <0559> (8800), Lo, I am come to great estate <01431> 
(8689), and have gotten <03254> (8689) more wisdom <02451> than 
all they that have been before <06440> me in Jerusalem <03389>: 
yea, my heart <03820> had great <07235> (8687) experience 
<07200> (8804) of wisdom <02451> and knowledge <01847>.

Ecc 01:17  And I gave <05414> (8799) my heart <03820> to know 
<03045> (8800) wisdom <02451>, and to know <03045> (8800) 
madness <01947> and folly <05531>: I perceived <03045> (8804) 
that this <01571> also is vexation <07475> of spirit <07307>.

Ecc 01:18  For in much <07230> wisdom <02451> is much <07230> 
grief <03708>: and he that increaseth <03254> (8686) knowledge 
<01847> increaseth <03254> (8686) sorrow <04341>.

Ecc 02:01 ¶ I said <0559> (8804) in mine heart <03820>, Go to 
now <03212> (8798), I will prove <05254> (8762) thee with mirth 
<08057>, therefore enjoy <07200> (8798) pleasure <02896>: and, 
behold, this also is vanity <01892>.

Ecc 02:02  I said <0559> (8804) of laughter <07814>, It is mad 
<01984> (8781): and of mirth <08057>, What <02090> doeth <06213> 
(8802) it?

Ecc 02:03  I sought <08446> (8804) in mine heart <03820> to give 
<04900> (8800) myself <01320> unto wine <03196>, yet acquainting 
<05090> (8802) mine heart <03820> with wisdom <02451>; and to 
lay hold <0270> (8800) on folly <05531>, till I might see 
<07200> (8799) what was that good <02896> for the sons <01121> 
of men <0120>, which they should do <06213> (8799) under the 
heaven <08064> all <04557> the days <03117> of their life 
<02416>.

Ecc 02:04  I made me great <01431> (8689) works <04639>; I 
builded <01129> (8804) me houses <01004>; I planted <05193> 
(8804) me vineyards <03754>:

Ecc 02:05  I made <06213> (8804) me gardens <01593> and orchards 
<06508>, and I planted <05193> (8804) trees <06086> in them of 
all kind of fruits <06529>:

Ecc 02:06  I made <06213> (8804) me pools <01295> of water 
<04325>, to water <08248> (8687) therewith the wood <03293> that 
bringeth forth <06779> (8802) trees <06086>:

Ecc 02:07  I got <07069> (8804) me servants <05650> and maidens 
<08198>, and had servants born <01121> in my house <01004>; also 
I had great <07235> (8687) possessions <04735> of great <01241> 
and small cattle <06629> above all that were in Jerusalem 
<03389> before <06440> me:

Ecc 02:08  I gathered <03664> (8804) me also silver <03701> and 
gold <02091>, and the peculiar treasure <05459> of kings <04428> 
and of the provinces <04082>: I gat <06213> (8804) me men 
singers <07891> (8802) and women singers <07891> (8802), and the 
delights <08588> of the sons <01121> of men <0120>, as musical 
instruments <07705> <07705>, and that of all sorts.

Ecc 02:09  So I was great <01431> (8804), and increased <03254> 
(8689) more than all that were before <06440> me in Jerusalem 
<03389>: also my wisdom <02451> remained <05975> (8804) with me.

Ecc 02:10  And whatsoever mine eyes <05869> desired <07592> 
(8804) I kept <0680> (8804) not from them, I withheld <04513> 
(8804) not my heart <03820> from any joy <08057>; for my heart 
<03820> rejoiced <08056> in all my labour <05999>: and this was 
my portion <02506> of all my labour <05999>.

Ecc 02:11  Then I looked <06437> (8804) on all the works <04639> 
that my hands <03027> had wrought <06213> (8804), and on the 
labour <05999> that I had laboured <05998> (8804) to do <06213> 
(8800): and, behold, all was vanity <01892> and vexation <07469> 
of spirit <07307>, and there was no profit <03504> under the sun 
<08121>.

Ecc 02:12 ¶ And I turned <06437> (8804) myself to behold <07200> 
(8800) wisdom <02451>, and madness <01947>, and folly <05531>: 
for what can the man <0120> do that cometh <0935> (8799) after 
<0310> the king <04428>? even that which hath been already 
<03528> done <06213> (8804).

Ecc 02:13  Then I saw <07200> (8804) that <03426> wisdom <02451> 
excelleth <03504> folly <05531>, as far as light <0216> 
excelleth <03504> darkness <02822>.

Ecc 02:14  The wise man’s <02450> eyes <05869> are in his head 
<07218>; but the fool <03684> walketh <01980> (8802) in darkness 
<02822>: and I myself perceived <03045> (8804) also that one 
<0259> event <04745> happeneth <07136> (8799) to them all.

Ecc 02:15  Then <0227> said <0559> (8804) I in my heart <03820>, 
As it happeneth <04745> to the fool <03684>, so it happeneth 
<07136> (8799) even to me <01571>; and why was I then more 
<03148> wise <02449> (8804)? Then I said <01696> (8765) in my 
heart <03820>, that this also is vanity <01892>.

Ecc 02:16  For there is no remembrance <02146> of the wise 
<02450> more than <05973> of the fool <03684> for ever <05769>; 
seeing that which now <03528> is in the days <03117> to come 
<0935> (8802) shall all be forgotten <07911> (8738). And how 
dieth <04191> (8799) the wise <02450> man? as the fool <03684>.

Ecc 02:17 ¶ Therefore I hated <08130> (8804) life <02416>; 
because the work <04639> that is wrought <06213> (8738) under 
the sun <08121> is grievous <07451> unto me: for all is vanity 
<01892> and vexation <07469> of spirit <07307>.

Ecc 02:18  Yea, I hated <08130> (8804) all my labour <05999> 
which I had taken <06001> under the sun <08121>: because I 
should leave <03240> (8686) it unto the man <0120> that shall be 
after <0310> me.

Ecc 02:19  And who knoweth <03045> (8802) whether he shall be a 
wise <02450> man or a fool <05530>? yet shall he have rule 
<07980> (8799) over all my labour <05999> wherein I have 
laboured <05998> (8804), and wherein I have shewed myself wise 
<02449> (8804) under the sun <08121>. This is also vanity 
<01892>.

Ecc 02:20  Therefore I went about <05437> (8804) to cause 
<02976> <00> my heart <03820> to despair <02976> (8763) of all 
the labour <05999> which I took <05998> (8804) under the sun 
<08121>.

Ecc 02:21  For there is <03426> a man <0120> whose labour 
<05999> is in wisdom <02451>, and in knowledge <01847>, and in 
equity <03788>; yet to a man <0120> that hath not laboured 
<05998> (8804) therein shall he leave <05414> (8799) it for his 
portion <02506>. This also is vanity <01892> and a great <07227> 
evil <07451>.

Ecc 02:22  For what hath <01933> (8802) man <0120> of all his 
labour <05999>, and of the vexation <07475> of his heart <03820>,
 wherein <01931> he hath laboured <06001> under the sun <08121>?

Ecc 02:23  For all his days <03117> are sorrows <04341>, and his 
travail <06045> grief <03708>; yea, his heart <03820> taketh not 
rest <07901> (8804) in the night <03915>. This is also vanity 
<01892>.

Ecc 02:24  There is nothing better <02896> for a man <0120>, 
than that he should eat <0398> (8799) and drink <08354> (8804), 
and that he should make his soul <05315> enjoy <07200> (8689) 
good <02896> in his labour <05999>. This <02090> also I saw 
<07200> (8804), that it was from the hand <03027> of God <0430>.

Ecc 02:25  For who can eat <0398> (8799), or who else can hasten 
<02363> (8799) hereunto, more <02351> than I?

Ecc 02:26  For God giveth <05414> (8804) to a man <0120> that is 
good <02896> in his sight <06440> wisdom <02451>, and knowledge 
<01847>, and joy <08057>: but to the sinner <02398> (8802) he 
giveth <05414> (8804) travail <06045>, to gather <0622> (8800) 
and to heap up <03664> (8800), that he may give <05414> (8800) 
to him that is good <02896> before <06440> God <0430>. This also 
is vanity <01892> and vexation <07469> of spirit <07307>.

Ecc 03:01 ¶ To every thing there is a season <02165>, and a time 
<06256> to every purpose <02656> under the heaven <08064>:

Ecc 03:02  A time <06256> to be born <03205> (8800), and a time 
<06256> to die <04191> (8800); a time <06256> to plant <05193> 
(8800), and a time <06256> to pluck up <06131> (8800) that which 
is planted <05193> (8803);

Ecc 03:03  A time <06256> to kill <02026> (8800), and a time 
<06256> to heal <07495> (8800); a time <06256> to break down 
<06555> (8800), and a time <06256> to build up <01129> (8800);

Ecc 03:04  A time <06256> to weep <01058> (8800), and a time 
<06256> to laugh <07832> (8800); a time <06256> to mourn <05594> 
(8800), and a time <06256> to dance <07540> (8800);

Ecc 03:05  A time <06256> to cast away <07993> (8687) stones 
<068>, and a time <06256> to gather <03664> <00> stones <068> 
together <03664> (8800); a time <06256> to embrace <02263> 
(8800), and a time <06256> to refrain <07368> (8800) from 
embracing <02263> (8763);

Ecc 03:06  A time <06256> to get <01245> (8763), and a time 
<06256> to lose <06> (8763); a time <06256> to keep <08104> 
(8800), and a time <06256> to cast away <07993> (8687);

Ecc 03:07  A time <06256> to rend <07167> (8800), and a time 
<06256> to sew <08609> (8800); a time <06256> to keep silence 
<02814> (8800), and a time <06256> to speak <01696> (8763);

Ecc 03:08  A time <06256> to love <0157> (8800), and a time 
<06256> to hate <08130> (8800); a time <06256> of war <04421>, 
and a time <06256> of peace <07965>.

Ecc 03:09  What profit <03504> hath he that worketh <06213> 
(8802) in that wherein <0834> he laboureth <06001>?

Ecc 03:10  I have seen <07200> (8804) the travail <06045>, which 
God <0430> hath given <05414> (8804) to the sons <01121> of men 
<0120> to be exercised <06031> (8800) in it.

Ecc 03:11 ¶ He hath made <06213> (8804) every thing beautiful 
<03303> in his time <06256>: also he hath set <05414> (8804) the 
world <05769> in their heart <03820>, so that <01097> no man 
<0120> can find out <04672> (8799) the work <04639> that God 
<0430> maketh <06213> (8804) from the beginning <07218> to the 
end <05490>.

Ecc 03:12  I know <03045> (8804) that there is no good <02896> 
in them, but for a man to rejoice <08055> (8800), and to do 
<06213> (8800) good <02896> in his life <02416>.

Ecc 03:13  And also that every man <0120> should eat <0398> 
(8799) and drink <08354> (8804), and enjoy <07200> (8804) the 
good <02896> of all his labour <05999>, it is the gift <04991> 
of God <0430>.

Ecc 03:14  I know <03045> (8804) that, whatsoever God <0430> 
doeth <06213> (8799), it shall be for ever <05769>: nothing 
<0369> can be put <03254> (8687) to it, nor any thing taken 
<01639> (8800) from it: and God <0430> doeth <06213> (8804) it, 
that men should fear <03372> (8799) before <06440> him.

Ecc 03:15  That which hath been is now <03528>; and that which 
is to be hath already <03528> been; and God <0430> requireth 
<01245> (8762) that which is past <07291> (8737).

Ecc 03:16 ¶ And moreover I saw <07200> (8804) under the sun 
<08121> the place <04725> of judgment <04941>, that wickedness 
<07562> was there; and the place <04725> of righteousness 
<06664>, that iniquity <07562> was there.

Ecc 03:17  I said <0559> (8804) in mine heart <03820>, God 
<0430> shall judge <08199> (8799) the righteous <06662> and the 
wicked <07563>: for there is a time <06256> there for every 
purpose <02656> and for every work <04639>.

Ecc 03:18  I said <0559> (8804) in mine heart <03820> concerning 
the estate <01700> of the sons <01121> of men <0120>, that God 
<0430> might manifest <01305> (8800) them, and that they might 
see <07200> (8800) that they <01992> themselves are beasts 
<0929>.

Ecc 03:19  For that which befalleth <04745> the sons <01121> of 
men <0120> befalleth <04745> beasts <0929>; even one thing 
<0259> befalleth <04745> them: as the one dieth <04194>, so 
dieth <04194> the other <02088>; yea, they have all one <0259> 
breath <07307>; so that a man <0120> hath no preeminence <04195> 
above a beast <0929>: for all is vanity <01892>.

Ecc 03:20  All go <01980> (8802) unto one <0259> place <04725>; 
all are of the dust <06083>, and all turn <07725> <00> to dust 
<06083> again <07725> (8804).

Ecc 03:21  Who knoweth <03045> (8802) the spirit <07307> of man 
<01121> <0120> that goeth <05927> (8802) upward <04605>, and the 
spirit <07307> of the beast <0929> that goeth <03381> (8802) 
downward <04295> to the earth <0776>?

Ecc 03:22  Wherefore I perceive <07200> (8804) that there is 
nothing better <02896>, than that a man <0120> should rejoice 
<08055> (8799) in his own works <04639>; for that is his portion 
<02506>: for who shall bring <0935> (8686) him to see <07200> 
(8800) what shall be after <0310> him?

Ecc 04:01 ¶ So I returned <07725> (8804), and considered <07200> 
(8799) all the oppressions <06217> that are done <06213> (8737) 
under the sun <08121>: and behold the tears <01832> of such as 
were oppressed <06231> (8803), and they had no comforter <05162> 
(8764); and on the side <03027> of their oppressors <06231> 
(8802) there was power <03581>; but they had no comforter 
<05162> (8764).

Ecc 04:02  Wherefore I praised <07623> (8764) the dead <04191> 
(8801) which are already <03528> dead <04191> (8804) more than 
the living <02416> which are yet <05728> alive <02416>.

Ecc 04:03  Yea, better <02896> is he than both <08147> they, 
which hath not yet <05728> been, who hath not seen <07200> 
(8804) the evil <07451> work <04639> that is done <06213> (8738) 
under the sun <08121>.

Ecc 04:04 ¶ Again, I considered <07200> (8804) all travail 
<05999>, and every right <03788> work <04639>, that for this a 
man <0376> is envied <07068> of his neighbour <07453>. This is 
also vanity <01892> and vexation <07469> of spirit <07307>.

Ecc 04:05  The fool <03684> foldeth <02263> <00> his hands 
<03027> together <02263> (8802), and eateth <0398> (8802) his 
own flesh <01320>.

Ecc 04:06  Better <02896> is an handful <03709> with quietness 
<05183>, than both the hands <02651> full <04393> with travail 
<05999> and vexation <07469> of spirit <07307>.

Ecc 04:07 ¶ Then I returned <07725> (8804), and I saw <07200> 
(8799) vanity <01892> under the sun <08121>.

Ecc 04:08  There is <03426> one <0259> alone, and there is not a 
second <08145>; yea, he hath neither child <01121> nor brother 
<0251>: yet is there no end <07093> of all his labour <05999>; 
neither is his eye <05869> satisfied <07646> (8799) with riches 
<06239>; neither saith he, For whom do I labour <06001>, and 
bereave <02637> (8764) my soul <05315> of good <02896>? This is 
also vanity <01892>, yea, it is a sore <07451> travail <06045>.

Ecc 04:09  Two <08147> are better <02896> than one <0259>; 
because they have <03426> a good <02896> reward <07939> for 
their labour <05999>.

Ecc 04:10  For if they fall <05307> (8799), the one <0259> will 
lift up <06965> (8686) his fellow <02270>: but woe <0337> to him 
that is alone <0259> when he falleth <05307> (8799); for he hath 
not another <08145> to help him up <06965> (8687).

Ecc 04:11  Again <01571>, if two <08147> lie together <07901> 
(8799), then they have heat <02552> (8804): but how can one 
<0259> be warm <03179> (8799) alone?

Ecc 04:12  And if one <0259> prevail <08630> (8799) against him, 
two <08147> shall withstand <05975> (8799) him; and a threefold 
<08027> (8794) cord <02339> is not quickly <04120> broken 
<05423> (8735).

Ecc 04:13 ¶ Better <02896> is a poor <04542> and a wise <02450> 
child <03206> than an old <02205> and foolish <03684> king 
<04428>, who will <03045> (8804) no more be admonished <02094> 
(8736).

Ecc 04:14  For out of prison <0631> (8803) <01004> he cometh 
<03318> (8804) to reign <04427> (8800); whereas also he that is 
born <03205> (8738) in his kingdom <04438> becometh poor <07326> 
(8802).

Ecc 04:15  I considered <07200> (8804) all the living <02416> 
which walk <01980> (8764) under the sun <08121>, with the second 
<08145> child <03206> that shall stand up <05975> (8799) in his 
stead.

Ecc 04:16  There is no end <07093> of all the people <05971>, 
even of all that have been before <06440> them: they also that 
come after <0314> shall not rejoice <08055> (8799) in him. 
Surely this also is vanity <01892> and vexation <07475> of 
spirit <07307>.

Ecc 05:01 ¶ Keep <08104> (8798) thy foot <07272> when thou goest 
<03212> (8799) to the house <01004> of God <0430>, and be more 
ready <07138> to hear <08085> (8800), than to give <05414> 
(8800) the sacrifice <02077> of fools <03684>: for they consider 
<03045> (8802) not that they do <06213> (8800) evil <07451>.

Ecc 05:02  Be not rash <0926> (8762) with thy mouth <06310>, and 
let not thine heart <03820> be hasty <04116> (8762) to utter 
<03318> (8687) any thing <01697> before <06440> God <0430>: for 
God <0430> is in heaven <08064>, and thou upon earth <0776>: 
therefore let thy words <01697> be few <04592>.

Ecc 05:03  For a dream <02472> cometh <0935> (8802) through the 
multitude <07230> of business <06045>; and a fool’s <03684> 
voice <06963> is known by multitude <07230> of words <01697>.

Ecc 05:04 ¶ When thou vowest <05087> (8799) a vow <05088> unto 
God <0430>, defer <0309> (8762) not to pay <07999> (8763) it; 
for he hath no pleasure <02656> in fools <03684>: pay <07999> 
(8761) that which thou hast vowed <05087> (8799).

Ecc 05:05  Better <02896> is it that thou shouldest not vow 
<05087> (8799), than that thou shouldest vow <05087> (8799) and 
not pay <07999> (8762).

Ecc 05:06  Suffer <05414> (8799) not thy mouth <06310> to cause 
thy flesh <01320> to sin <02398> (8687); neither say <0559> 
(8799) thou before <06440> the angel <04397>, that it was an 
error <07684>: wherefore should God <0430> be angry <07107> 
(8799) at thy voice <06963>, and destroy <02254> (8765) the work 
<04639> of thine hands <03027>?

Ecc 05:07  For in the multitude <07230> of dreams <02472> and 
many <07235> (8687) words <01697> there are also divers vanities 
<01892>: but fear <03372> (8798) thou God <0430>.

Ecc 05:08  If thou seest <07200> (8799) the oppression <06233> 
of the poor <07326> (8802), and violent <01499> perverting of 
judgment <04941> and justice <06664> in a province <04082>, 
marvel <08539> (8799) not at the matter <02656>: for he that is 
higher <01364> than the highest <01364> regardeth <08104> (8802);
 and there be higher <01364> than they <05921>.

Ecc 05:09 ¶ Moreover the profit <03504> of the earth <0776> is 
for all: the king <04428> himself is served <05647> (8738) by 
the field <07704>.

Ecc 05:10  He that loveth <0157> (8802) silver <03701> shall not 
be satisfied <07646> (8799) with silver <03701>; nor he that 
loveth <0157> (8802) abundance <01995> with increase <08393>: 
this is also vanity <01892>.

Ecc 05:11  When goods <02896> increase <07235> (8800), they are 
increased <07231> (8804) that eat <0398> (8802) them: and what 
good <03788> is there to the owners <01167> thereof, saving 
<0518> the beholding <07207> (8675) <07212> (8801) of them with 
their eyes <05869>?

Ecc 05:12  The sleep <08142> of a labouring man <05647> (8802) 
is sweet <04966>, whether he eat <0398> (8799) little <04592> or 
much <07235> (8687): but the abundance <07647> of the rich 
<06223> will not suffer <03240> (8688) him to sleep <03462> 
(8800).

Ecc 05:13  There is <03426> a sore <02470> (8802) evil <07451> 
which I have seen <07200> (8804) under the sun <08121>, namely, 
riches <06239> kept <08104> (8803) for the owners <01167> 
thereof to their hurt <07451>.

Ecc 05:14  But those riches <06239> perish <06> (8804) by evil 
<07451> travail <06045>: and he begetteth <03205> (8689) a son 
<01121>, and there is nothing <03972> in his hand <03027>.

Ecc 05:15  As he came forth <03318> (8804) of his mother’s 
<0517> womb <0990>, naked <06174> shall he return <07725> (8799) 
to go <03212> (8800) as he came <0935> (8804), and shall take 
<05375> (8799) nothing <03972> of his labour <05999>, which he 
may carry away <03212> (8686) in his hand <03027>.

Ecc 05:16  And this <02090> also is a sore <02470> (8802) evil 
<07451>, that in all points <05980> as he came <0935> (8804), so 
shall he go <03212> (8799): and what profit <03504> hath he that 
hath laboured <05998> (8799) for the wind <07307>?

Ecc 05:17  All his days <03117> also he eateth <0398> (8799) in 
darkness <02822>, and he hath much <07235> (8687) sorrow <03707> 
(8804) and wrath <07110> with his sickness <02483>.

Ecc 05:18 ¶ Behold that which I have seen <07200> (8804): it is 
good <02896> and comely <03303> for one to eat <0398> (8800) and 
to drink <08354> (8800), and to enjoy <07200> (8800) the good 
<02896> of all his labour <05999> that he taketh <05998> (8799) 
under the sun <08121> all <04557> the days <03117> of his life 
<02416>, which God <0430> giveth <05414> (8804) him: for it is 
his portion <02506>.

Ecc 05:19  Every man <0120> also to whom God <0430> hath given 
<05414> (8804) riches <06239> and wealth <05233>, and hath given 
him power <07980> (8689) to eat <0398> (8800) thereof, and to 
take <05375> (8800) his portion <02506>, and to rejoice <08055> 
(8800) in his labour <05999>; this <02090> is the gift <04991> 
of God <0430>.

Ecc 05:20  For he shall not much <07235> (8687) remember <02142> 
(8799) the days <03117> of his life <02416>; because God <0430> 
answereth <06031> (8688) him in the joy <08057> of his heart 
<03820>.

Ecc 06:01 ¶ There is <03426> an evil <07451> which I have seen 
<07200> (8804) under the sun <08121>, and it is common <07227> 
among men <0120>:

Ecc 06:02  A man <0376> to whom God <0430> hath given <05414> 
(8799) riches <06239>, wealth <05233>, and honour <03519>, so 
that he wanteth <02638> nothing for his soul <05315> of all that 
he desireth <0183> (8691), yet God <0430> giveth him not power 
<07980> (8686) to eat <0398> (8800) thereof, but a stranger 
<0376> <05237> eateth <0398> (8799) it: this is vanity <01892>, 
and it is an evil <07451> disease <02483>.

Ecc 06:03  If a man <0376> beget <03205> (8686) an hundred 
<03967> children, and live <02421> (8799) many <07227> years 
<08141>, so that the days <03117> of his years <08141> be many 
<07227>, and his soul <05315> be not filled <07646> (8799) with 
good <02896>, and also that he have no burial <06900>; I say 
<0559> (8804), that an untimely birth <05309> is better <02896> 
than he.

Ecc 06:04  For he cometh <0935> (8804) in with vanity <01892>, 
and departeth <03212> (8799) in darkness <02822>, and his name 
<08034> shall be covered <03680> (8792) with darkness <02822>.

Ecc 06:05  Moreover he hath not seen <07200> (8804) the sun 
<08121>, nor known <03045> (8804) any thing: this <02088> hath 
more rest <05183> than <02088> the other.

Ecc 06:06  Yea, though <0432> he live <02421> (8804) a thousand 
<0505> years <08141> twice <06471> told, yet hath he seen 
<07200> (8804) no good <02896>: do not all go <01980> (8802) to 
one <0259> place <04725>?

Ecc 06:07 ¶ All the labour <05999> of man <0120> is for his 
mouth <06310>, and yet the appetite <05315> is not filled 
<04390> (8735).

Ecc 06:08  For what hath the wise <02450> more <03148> than the 
fool <03684>? what hath the poor <06041>, that knoweth <03045> 
(8802) to walk <01980> (8800) before the living <02416>?

Ecc 06:09  Better <02896> is the sight <04758> of the eyes 
<05869> than the wandering <01980> (8800) of the desire <05315>: 
this is also vanity <01892> and vexation <07469> of spirit 
<07307>.

Ecc 06:10  That which hath been is named <07121> (8738) <08034> 
already <03528>, and it is known <03045> (8737) that it is man 
<0120>: neither may <03201> (8799) he contend <01777> (8800) 
with him that is mightier <08623> than he.

Ecc 06:11 ¶ Seeing there be <03426> many <07235> (8687) things 
<01697> that increase <07235> (8688) vanity <01892>, what is man 
<0120> the better <03148>?

Ecc 06:12  For who knoweth <03045> (8802) what is good <02896> 
for man <0120> in this life <02416>, all <04557> the days 
<03117> of his vain <01892> life <02416> which he spendeth 
<06213> (8799) as a shadow <06738>? for who can tell <05046> 
(8686) a man <0120> what shall be after <0310> him under the sun 
<08121>?

Ecc 07:01 ¶ A good name <08034> is better <02896> than precious 
<02896> ointment <08081>; and the day <03117> of death <04194> 
than the day <03117> of one’s birth <03205> (8736).

Ecc 07:02  It is better <02896> to go <03212> (8800) to the 
house <01004> of mourning <060>, than to go <03212> (8800) to 
the house <01004> of feasting <04960>: for <0834> that is the 
end <05490> of all men <0120>; and the living <02416> will lay 
<05414> (8799) it to his heart <03820>.

Ecc 07:03  Sorrow <03708> is better <02896> than laughter 
<07814>: for by the sadness <07455> of the countenance <06440> 
the heart <03820> is made better <03190> (8799).

Ecc 07:04  The heart <03820> of the wise <02450> is in the house 
<01004> of mourning <060>; but the heart <03820> of fools 
<03684> is in the house <01004> of mirth <08057>.

Ecc 07:05  It is better <02896> to hear <08085> (8800) the 
rebuke <01606> of the wise <02450>, than for a man <0376> to 
hear <08085> (8802) the song <07892> of fools <03684>.

Ecc 07:06  For as the crackling <06963> of thorns <05518> under 
a pot <05518>, so is the laughter <07814> of the fool <03684>: 
this also is vanity <01892>.

Ecc 07:07 ¶ Surely oppression <06233> maketh a wise man <02450> 
mad <01984> (8779); and a gift <04979> destroyeth <06> (8762) 
the heart <03820>.

Ecc 07:08  Better <02896> is the end <0319> of a thing <01697> 
than the beginning <07225> thereof: and the patient <0750> in 
spirit <07307> is better <02896> than the proud <01362> in 
spirit <07307>.

Ecc 07:09  Be not hasty <0926> (8762) in thy spirit <07307> to 
be angry <03707> (8800): for anger <03708> resteth <05117> 
(8799) in the bosom <02436> of fools <03684>.

Ecc 07:10  Say <0559> (8799) not thou, What is the cause that 
the former <07223> days <03117> were better <02896> than these? 
for thou dost not enquire <07592> (8804) wisely <02451> 
concerning this.

Ecc 07:11 ¶ Wisdom <02451> is good <02896> with an inheritance 
<05159>: and by it there is profit <03148> to them that see 
<07200> (8802) the sun <08121>.

Ecc 07:12  For wisdom <02451> is a defence <06738>, and money 
<03701> is a defence <06738>: but the excellency <03504> of 
knowledge <01847> is, that wisdom <02451> giveth life <02421> 
(8762) to them that have <01167> it.

Ecc 07:13  Consider <07200> (8798) the work <04639> of God 
<0430>: for who can <03201> (8799) make that straight <08626> 
(8763), which he hath made crooked <05791> (8765)?

Ecc 07:14  In the day <03117> of prosperity <02896> be joyful 
<02896>, but in the day <03117> of adversity <07451> consider 
<07200> (8798): God <0430> also hath set <06213> (8804) the one 
over against <05980> the other, to the end <01700> that man 
<0120> should find <04672> (8799) nothing <03972> after <0310> 
him.

Ecc 07:15  All things have I seen <07200> (8804) in the days 
<03117> of my vanity <01892>: there is <03426> a just <06662> 
man that perisheth <06> (8802) in his righteousness <06664>, and 
there is a wicked <07563> man that prolongeth <0748> (8688) his 
life in his wickedness <07451>.

Ecc 07:16  Be not righteous <06662> over much <07235> (8687); 
neither make thyself over <03148> wise <02449> (8691): why 
shouldest thou destroy <08074> (8709) thyself?

Ecc 07:17  Be not over much <07235> (8687) wicked <07561> (8799),
 neither be thou foolish <05530>: why shouldest thou die <04191> 
(8799) before thy time <06256>?

Ecc 07:18  It is good <02896> that thou shouldest take hold 
<0270> (8799) of this; yea, also from this <02088> withdraw 
<03240> (8686) not thine hand <03027>: for he that feareth 
<03373> God <0430> shall come forth <03318> (8799) of them all.

Ecc 07:19  Wisdom <02451> strengtheneth <05810> (8799) the wise 
<02450> more than ten <06235> mighty <07989> men which are in 
the city <05892>.

Ecc 07:20  For there is not a just <06662> man <0120> upon earth 
<0776>, that doeth <06213> (8799) good <02896>, and sinneth 
<02398> (8799) not.

Ecc 07:21  Also take <05414> (8799) no heed <03820> unto all 
words <01697> that are spoken <01696> (8762); lest thou hear 
<08085> (8799) thy servant <05650> curse <07043> (8764) thee:

Ecc 07:22  For oftentimes <06471> <07227> also thine own heart 
<03820> knoweth <03045> (8804) that thou thyself likewise hast 
cursed <07043> (8765) others <0312>.

Ecc 07:23 ¶ All this <02090> have I proved <05254> (8765) by 
wisdom <02451>: I said <0559> (8804), I will be wise <02449> 
(8799); but it was far <07350> from me.

Ecc 07:24  That which is far off <07350>, and exceeding deep 
<06013>, who can find it out <04672> (8799)?

Ecc 07:25  I applied <05437> (8804) mine heart <03820> to know 
<03045> (8800), and to search <08446> (8800), and to seek out 
<01245> (8763) wisdom <02451>, and the reason <02808> of things, 
and to know <03045> (8800) the wickedness <07562> of folly 
<03689>, even of foolishness <05531> and madness <01947>:

Ecc 07:26  And I find <04672> (8802) more bitter <04751> than 
death <04194> the woman <0802>, whose heart <03820> is snares 
<04685> and nets <02764>, and her hands <03027> as bands <0612>: 
whoso pleaseth <02896> <06440> God <0430> shall escape <04422> 
(8735) from her; but the sinner <02398> (8802) shall be taken 
<03920> (8735) by her.

Ecc 07:27  Behold <07200> (8798), this have I found <04672> 
(8804), saith <0559> (8804) the preacher <06953>, counting one 
<0259> by one <0259>, to find out <04672> (8800) the account 
<02808>:

Ecc 07:28  Which yet my soul <05315> seeketh <01245> (8765), but 
I find <04672> (8804) not: one <0259> man <0120> among a 
thousand <0505> have I found <04672> (8804); but a woman <0802> 
among all those have I not found <04672> (8804).

Ecc 07:29  Lo <07200> (8798), this only <0905> have I found 
<04672> (8804), that God <0430> hath made <06213> (8804) man 
<0120> upright <03477>; but they have sought out <01245> (8765) 
many <07227> inventions <02810>.

Ecc 08:01 ¶ Who is as the wise <02450> man? and who knoweth 
<03045> (8802) the interpretation <06592> of a thing <01697>? a 
man’s <0120> wisdom <02451> maketh his face <06440> to shine 
<0215> (8686), and the boldness <05797> of his face <06440> 
shall be changed <08132> (8792).

Ecc 08:02  I counsel thee to keep <08104> (8798) the king’s 
<04428> commandment <06310>, and that in regard <01700> of the 
oath <07621> of God <0430>.

Ecc 08:03  Be not hasty <0926> (8735) to go out <03212> (8799) 
of his sight <06440>: stand <05975> (8799) not in an evil 
<07451> thing <01697>; for he doeth <06213> (8799) whatsoever 
pleaseth <02654> (8799) him.

Ecc 08:04  Where the word <01697> of a king <04428> is, there is 
power <07983>: and who may say <0559> (8799) unto him, What 
doest <06213> (8799) thou?

Ecc 08:05  Whoso keepeth <08104> (8802) the commandment <04687> 
shall feel <03045> (8799) no evil <07451> thing <01697>: and a 
wise man’s <02450> heart <03820> discerneth <03045> (8799) both 
time <06256> and judgment <04941>.

Ecc 08:06 ¶ Because to every purpose <02656> there is <03426> 
time <06256> and judgment <04941>, therefore the misery <07451> 
of man <0120> is great <07227> upon him.

Ecc 08:07  For he knoweth <03045> (8802) not that which shall be:
 for who can tell <05046> (8686) him when it shall be?

Ecc 08:08  There is no man <0120> that hath power <07989> over 
the spirit <07307> to retain <03607> (8800) the spirit <07307>; 
neither hath he power <07983> in the day <03117> of death 
<04194>: and there is no discharge <04917> in that war <04421>; 
neither shall wickedness <07562> deliver <04422> (8762) those 
that are given <01167> to it.

Ecc 08:09 ¶ All this have I seen <07200> (8804), and applied 
<05414> (8800) my heart <03820> unto every work <04639> that is 
done <06213> (8738) under the sun <08121>: there is a time 
<06256> wherein one man <0120> ruleth <07980> (8804) over 
another to his own hurt <07451>.

Ecc 08:10  And so <03651> I saw <07200> (8804) the wicked 
<07563> buried <06912> (8803), who had come <0935> (8804) and 
gone <01980> (8762) from the place <04725> of the holy <06918>, 
and they were forgotten <07911> (8691) in the city <05892> where 
they had so done <06213> (8804): this is also vanity <01892>.

Ecc 08:11  Because sentence <06599> against an evil <07451> work 
<04639> is not executed <06213> (8738) speedily <04120>, 
therefore the heart <03820> of the sons <01121> of men <0120> is 
fully set <04390> (8804) in them to do <06213> (8800) evil 
<07451>.

Ecc 08:12  Though a sinner <02398> (8802) do <06213> (8802) evil 
<07451> an hundred times <03967>, and his days be prolonged 
<0748> (8688), yet surely I know <03045> (8802) that it shall be 
well <02896> with them that fear <03373> God <0430>, which fear 
<03372> (8799) before <06440> him:

Ecc 08:13  But it shall not be well <02896> with the wicked 
<07563>, neither shall he prolong <0748> (8686) his days <03117>,
 which are as a shadow <06738>; because he feareth <03373> not 
before <06440> God <0430>.

Ecc 08:14 ¶ There is <03426> a vanity <01892> which is done 
<06213> (8738) upon the earth <0776>; that there be just <06662> 
men, unto whom it happeneth <05060> (8688) according to the work 
<04639> of the wicked <07563>; again, there be <03426> wicked 
<07563> men, to whom it happeneth <05060> (8688) according to 
the work <04639> of the righteous <06662>: I said <0559> (8804) 
that this also <01571> is vanity <01892>.

Ecc 08:15  Then I commended <07623> (8765) mirth <08057>, 
because a man <0120> hath no better thing <02896> under the sun 
<08121>, than to eat <0398> (8800), and to drink <08354> (8800), 
and to be merry <08055> (8800): for that shall abide <03867> 
(8799) with him of his labour <05999> the days <03117> of his 
life <02416>, which God <0430> giveth <05414> (8804) him under 
the sun <08121>.

Ecc 08:16  When I applied <05414> (8804) mine heart <03820> to 
know <03045> (8800) wisdom <02451>, and to see <07200> (8800) 
the business <06045> that is done <06213> (8738) upon the earth 
<0776>: (for also there is that neither day <03117> nor night 
<03915> seeth <07200> (8802) sleep <08142> with his eyes <05869>:
)

Ecc 08:17  Then I beheld <07200> (8804) all the work <04639> of 
God <0430>, that a man <0120> cannot <03201> (8799) find out 
<04672> (8800) the work <04639> that is done <06213> (8738) 
under the sun <08121>: because <0834> though <07945> a man 
<0120> labour <05998> (8799) to seek it out <01245> (8763), yet 
he shall not find <04672> (8799) it; yea further; though a wise 
<02450> man think <0559> (8799) to know <03045> (8800) it, yet 
shall he not be able <03201> (8799) to find <04672> (8800) it.

Ecc 09:01 ¶ For all this I considered <05414> (8804) in my heart 
<03820> even to declare <0952> (8800) all this, that the 
righteous <06662>, and the wise <02450>, and their works <05652>,
 are in the hand <03027> of God <0430>: no man <0120> knoweth 
<03045> (8802) either <01571> love <0160> or hatred <08135> by 
all that is before <06440> them.

Ecc 09:02  All things come alike to all: there is one <0259> 
event <04745> to the righteous <06662>, and to the wicked 
<07563>; to the good <02896> and to the clean <02889>, and to 
the unclean <02931>; to him that sacrificeth <02076> (8802), and 
to him that <0834> sacrificeth <02076> (8802) not: as is the 
good <02896>, so is the sinner <02398> (8802); and he that 
sweareth <07650> (8737), as he that feareth <03373> an oath 
<07621>.

Ecc 09:03  This is an evil <07451> among all things that are 
done <06213> (8738) under the sun <08121>, that there is one 
<0259> event <04745> unto all: yea, also the heart <03820> of 
the sons <01121> of men <0120> is full <04390> (8804) of evil 
<07451>, and madness <01947> is in their heart <03824> while 
they live <02416>, and after <0310> that they go to the dead 
<04191> (8801).

Ecc 09:04 ¶ For <04310> to him that is <03426> joined <02266> 
(8792) (8675) <0977> (8792) to all the living <02416> there is 
hope <0986>: for a living <02416> dog <03611> is better <02896> 
than a dead <04191> (8801) lion <0738>.

Ecc 09:05  For the living <02416> know <03045> (8802) that they 
shall die <04191> (8799): but the dead <04191> (8801) know 
<03045> (8802) not any thing <03972>, neither have they any more 
a reward <07939>; for the memory <02143> of them is forgotten 
<07911> (8738).

Ecc 09:06  Also their love <0160>, and their hatred <08135>, and 
their envy <07068>, is now <03528> perished <06> (8804); neither 
have they any more a portion <02506> for ever <05769> in any 
thing that is done <06213> (8738) under the sun <08121>.

Ecc 09:07  Go thy way <03212> (8798), eat <0398> (8798) thy 
bread <03899> with joy <08057>, and drink <08354> (8798) thy 
wine <03196> with a merry <02896> heart <03820>; for God <0430> 
now <03528> accepteth <07521> (8804) thy works <04639>.

Ecc 09:08  Let thy garments <0899> be always <06256> white 
<03836>; and let thy head <07218> lack <02637> (8799) no 
ointment <08081>.

Ecc 09:09  Live <02416> joyfully <07200> (8798) with the wife 
<0802> whom thou lovest <0157> (8804) all the days <03117> of 
the life <02416> of thy vanity <01892>, which he hath given 
<05414> (8804) thee under the sun <08121>, all the days <03117> 
of thy vanity <01892>: for that is thy portion <02506> in this 
life <02416>, and in thy labour <05999> which thou takest 
<06001> under the sun <08121>.

Ecc 09:10  Whatsoever thy hand <03027> findeth <04672> (8799) to 
do <06213> (8800), do <06213> (8798) it with thy might <03581>; 
for there is no work <04639>, nor device <02808>, nor knowledge 
<01847>, nor wisdom <02451>, in the grave <07585>, whither thou 
goest <01980> (8802).

Ecc 09:11 ¶ I returned <07725> (8804), and saw <07200> (8800) 
under the sun <08121>, that the race <04793> is not to the swift 
<07031>, nor the battle <04421> to the strong <01368>, neither 
yet bread <03899> to the wise <02450>, nor yet riches <06239> to 
men of understanding <0995> (8737), nor yet favour <02580> to 
men of skill <03045> (8802); but time <06256> and chance <06294> 
happeneth <07136> (8799) to them all.

Ecc 09:12  For man <0120> also knoweth <03045> (8799) not his 
time <06256>: as the fishes <01709> that are taken <0270> (8737) 
in an evil <07451> net <04685>, and as the birds <06833> that 
are caught <0270> (8803) in the snare <06341>; so <01992> are 
the sons <01121> of men <0120> snared <03369> (8795) in an evil 
<07451> time <06256>, when it falleth <05307> (8799) suddenly 
<06597> upon them.

Ecc 09:13 ¶ This <02090> wisdom <02451> have I seen <07200> 
(8804) also under the sun <08121>, and it seemed great <01419> 
unto me:

Ecc 09:14  There was a little <06996> city <05892>, and few 
<04592> men <0582> within it; and there came <0935> (8804) a 
great <01419> king <04428> against it, and besieged <05437> 
(8804) it, and built <01129> (8804) great <01419> bulwarks 
<04685> against it:

Ecc 09:15  Now there was found <04672> (8804) in it a poor 
<04542> wise <02450> man <0376>, and he by his wisdom <02451> 
delivered <04422> (8765) the city <05892>; yet no man <0120> 
remembered <02142> (8804) that same poor <04542> man <0376>.

Ecc 09:16  Then said <0559> (8804) I, Wisdom <02451> is better 
<02896> than strength <01369>: nevertheless the poor man’s 
<04542> wisdom <02451> is despised <0959> (8803), and his words 
<01697> are not heard <08085> (8737).

Ecc 09:17  The words <01697> of wise <02450> men are heard 
<08085> (8737) in quiet <05183> more than the cry <02201> of him 
that ruleth <04910> (8802) among fools <03684>.

Ecc 09:18  Wisdom <02451> is better <02896> than weapons <03627> 
of war <07128>: but one <0259> sinner <02398> (8802) destroyeth 
<06> (8762) much <07235> (8687) good <02896>.

Ecc 10:01 ¶ Dead <04194> flies <02070> cause the ointment 
<08081> of the apothecary <07543> (8802) to send forth <05042> 
(8686) a stinking savour <0887> (8686): so doth a little <04592> 
folly <05531> him that is in reputation <03368> for wisdom 
<02451> and honour <03519>.

Ecc 10:02  A wise man’s <02450> heart <03820> is at his right 
hand <03225>; but a fool’s <03684> heart <03820> at his left 
<08040>.

Ecc 10:03  Yea also, when he that is a fool <05530> walketh 
<01980> (8802) by the way <01870>, his wisdom <03820> faileth 
<02638> him, and he saith <0559> (8804) to every one that he is 
a fool <05530>.

Ecc 10:04 ¶ If the spirit <07307> of the ruler <04910> (8802) 
rise up <05927> (8799) against thee, leave <03240> (8686) not 
thy place <04725>; for yielding <04832> pacifieth <03240> (8686) 
great <01419> offences <02399>.

Ecc 10:05  There is <03426> an evil <07451> which I have seen 
<07200> (8804) under the sun <08121>, as an error <07684> which 
proceedeth <03318> (8802) from <06440> the ruler <07989>:

Ecc 10:06  Folly <05529> is set <05414> (8738) in great <07227> 
dignity <04791>, and the rich <06223> sit <03427> (8799) in low 
place <08216>.

Ecc 10:07  I have seen <07200> (8804) servants <05650> upon 
horses <05483>, and princes <08269> walking <01980> (8802) as 
servants <05650> upon the earth <0776>.

Ecc 10:08  He that diggeth <02658> (8802) a pit <01475> shall 
fall <05307> (8799) into it; and whoso breaketh <06555> (8802) 
an hedge <01447>, a serpent <05175> shall bite <05391> (8799) 
him.

Ecc 10:09  Whoso removeth <05265> (8688) stones <068> shall be 
hurt <06087> (8735) therewith; and he that cleaveth <01234> 
(8802) wood <06086> shall be endangered <05533> (8735) thereby.

Ecc 10:10  If the iron <01270> be blunt <06949> (8765), and he 
do not whet <07043> (8773) the edge <06440>, then must he put 
<01396> (8762) to more strength <02428>: but wisdom <02451> is 
profitable <03504> to direct <03787> (8687).

Ecc 10:11  Surely the serpent <05175> will bite <05391> (8799) 
without enchantment <03908>; and a babbler <03956> <01167> is no 
better <03504>.

Ecc 10:12 ¶ The words <01697> of a wise man’s <02450> mouth 
<06310> are gracious <02580>; but the lips <08193> of a fool 
<03684> will swallow up <01104> (8762) himself.

Ecc 10:13  The beginning <08462> of the words <01697> of his 
mouth <06310> is foolishness <05531>: and the end <0319> of his 
talk <06310> is mischievous <07451> madness <01948>.

Ecc 10:14  A fool <05530> also is full <07235> (8686) of words 
<01697>: a man <0120> cannot tell <03045> (8799) what shall be; 
and what shall be after <0310> him, who can tell <05046> (8686) 
him?

Ecc 10:15  The labour <05999> of the foolish <03684> wearieth 
<03021> (8762) every one of them, because he knoweth <03045> 
(8804) not how to go <03212> (8800) to the city <05892>.

Ecc 10:16 ¶ Woe <0337> to thee, O land <0776>, when thy king 
<04428> is a child <05288>, and thy princes <08269> eat <0398> 
(8799) in the morning <01242>!

Ecc 10:17  Blessed <0835> art thou, O land <0776>, when thy king 
<04428> is the son <01121> of nobles <02715>, and thy princes 
<08269> eat <0398> (8799) in due season <06256>, for strength 
<01369>, and not for drunkenness <08358>!

Ecc 10:18  By much slothfulness <06103> the building <04746> 
decayeth <04355> (8735); and through idleness <08220> of the 
hands <03027> the house <01004> droppeth through <01811> (8799).

Ecc 10:19  A feast <03899> is made <06213> (8802) for laughter 
<07814>, and wine <03196> maketh merry <08055> (8762) <02416>: 
but money <03701> answereth <06030> (8799) all things.

Ecc 10:20  Curse <07043> (8762) not the king <04428>, no not in 
thy thought <04093>; and curse <07043> (8762) not the rich 
<06223> in thy bedchamber <02315> <04904>: for a bird <05775> of 
the air <08064> shall carry <03212> (8686) the voice <06963>, 
and that which hath <01167> wings <03671> shall tell <05046> 
(8686) the matter <01697>.

Ecc 11:01 ¶ Cast <07971> (8761) thy bread <03899> upon <06440> 
the waters <04325>: for thou shalt find <04672> (8799) it after 
many <07230> days <03117>.

Ecc 11:02  Give <05414> (8798) a portion <02506> to seven 
<07651>, and also to eight <08083>; for thou knowest <03045> 
(8799) not what evil <07451> shall be upon the earth <0776>.

Ecc 11:03  If the clouds <05645> be full <04390> (8735) of rain 
<01653>, they empty <07324> (8686) themselves upon the earth 
<0776>: and if the tree <06086> fall <05307> (8799) toward the 
south <01864>, or toward the north <06828>, in the place <04725> 
where the tree <06086> falleth <05307> (8799), there it shall be 
<01933> (8799).

Ecc 11:04  He that observeth <08104> (8802) the wind <07307> 
shall not sow <02232> (8799); and he that regardeth <07200> 
(8802) the clouds <05645> shall not reap <07114> (8799).

Ecc 11:05  As thou knowest <03045> (8802) not what is the way 
<01870> of the spirit <07307>, nor how the bones <06106> do grow 
in the womb <0990> of her that is with child <04392>: even so 
thou knowest <03045> (8799) not the works <04639> of God <0430> 
who maketh <06213> (8799) all.

Ecc 11:06  In the morning <01242> sow <02232> (8798) thy seed 
<02233>, and in the evening <06153> withhold <03240> (8686) not 
thine hand <03027>: for thou knowest <03045> (8802) not whether 
<0335> shall prosper <03787> (8799), either this or that, or 
whether they both <08147> shall be alike <0259> good <02896>.

Ecc 11:07 ¶ Truly the light <0216> is sweet <04966>, and a 
pleasant <02896> thing it is for the eyes <05869> to behold 
<07200> (8800) the sun <08121>:

Ecc 11:08  But if a man <0120> live <02421> (8799) many <07235> 
(8687) years <08141>, and rejoice <08055> (8799) in them all; 
yet let him remember <02142> (8799) the days <03117> of darkness 
<02822>; for they shall be many <07235> (8687). All that cometh 
<0935> (8804) is vanity <01892>.

Ecc 11:09  Rejoice <08055> (8798), O young man <0970>, in thy 
youth <03208>; and let thy heart <03820> cheer <02895> (8686) 
thee in the days <03117> of thy youth <0979>, and walk <01980> 
(8761) in the ways <01870> of thine heart <03820>, and in the 
sight <04758> of thine eyes <05869>: but know <03045> (8798) 
thou, that for all these things God <0430> will bring <0935> 
(8686) thee into judgment <04941>.

Ecc 11:10  Therefore remove <05493> (8685) sorrow <03708> from 
thy heart <03820>, and put away <05674> (8685) evil <07451> from 
thy flesh <01320>: for childhood <03208> and youth <07839> are 
vanity <01892>.

Ecc 12:01 ¶ Remember <02142> (8798) now thy Creator <01254> 
(8802) in the days <03117> of thy youth <0979>, while the evil 
<07451> days <03117> come <0935> (8799) not, nor the years 
<08141> draw nigh <05060> (8689), when thou shalt say <0559> 
(8799), I have no pleasure <02656> in them;

Ecc 12:02  While the sun <08121>, or the light <0216>, or the 
moon <03394>, or the stars <03556>, be not darkened <02821> 
(8799), nor the clouds <05645> return <07725> (8804) after 
<0310> the rain <01653>:

Ecc 12:03  In the day <03117> when the keepers <08104> (8802) of 
the house <01004> shall tremble <02111> (8799), and the strong 
<02428> men <0582> shall bow <05791> (8694) themselves, and the 
grinders <02912> (8802) cease <0988> (8804) because they are few 
<04591> (8765), and those that look out <07200> (8802) of the 
windows <0699> be darkened <02821> (8804),

Ecc 12:04  And the doors <01817> shall be shut <05462> (8795) in 
the streets <07784>, when the sound <06963> of the grinding 
<02913> is low <08217>, and he shall rise up <06965> (8799) at 
the voice <06963> of the bird <06833>, and all the daughters 
<01323> of musick <07892> shall be brought low <07817> (8735);

Ecc 12:05  Also when they shall be afraid <03372> (8799) of that 
which is high <01364>, and fears <02849> shall be in the way 
<01870>, and the almond tree <08247> shall flourish <05006> 
(8686), and the grasshopper <02284> shall be a burden <05445> 
(8691), and desire <035> shall fail <06565> (8686): because man 
<0120> goeth <01980> (8802) to his long <05769> home <01004>, 
and the mourners <05594> (8802) go about <05437> (8804) the 
streets <07784>:

Ecc 12:06  Or ever <03808> the silver <03701> cord <02256> be 
loosed <07576> (8735) (8675) <07368> (8735), or the golden 
<02091> bowl <01543> be broken <07533> (8799), or the pitcher 
<03537> be broken <07665> (8735) at the fountain <04002>, or the 
wheel <01534> broken <07533> (8738) at the cistern <0953>.

Ecc 12:07  Then shall the dust <06083> return <07725> (8799) to 
the earth <0776> as it was: and the spirit <07307> shall return 
<07725> (8799) unto God <0430> who gave <05414> (8804) it.

Ecc 12:08 ¶ Vanity <01892> of vanities <01892>, saith <0559> 
(8804) the preacher <06953>; all is vanity <01892>.

Ecc 12:09  And moreover <03148>, because the preacher <06953> 
was wise <02450>, he still taught <03925> (8765) the people 
<05971> knowledge <01847>; yea, he gave good heed <0239> (8765), 
and sought out <02713> (8765), and set in order <08626> (8765) 
many <07235> (8687) proverbs <04912>.

Ecc 12:10  The preacher <06953> sought <01245> (8765) to find 
out <04672> (8800) acceptable <02656> words <01697>: and that 
which was written <03789> (8803) was upright <03476>, even words 
<01697> of truth <0571>.

Ecc 12:11  The words <01697> of the wise <02450> are as goads 
<01861>, and as nails <04930> fastened <05193> (8803) by the 
masters <01167> of assemblies <0627>, which are given <05414> 
(8738) from one <0259> shepherd <07462> (8802).

Ecc 12:12  And further <03148>, by these <01992>, my son <01121>,
 be admonished <02094> (8734): of making <06213> (8800) many 
<07235> (8687) books <05612> there is no end <07093>; and much 
<07235> (8687) study <03854> is a weariness <03024> of the flesh 
<01320>.

Ecc 12:13 ¶ Let us hear <08085> (8799) the conclusion <05490> of 
the whole matter <01697>: Fear <03372> (8798) God <0430>, and 
keep <08104> (8798) his commandments <04687>: for this is the 
whole duty of man <0120>.

Ecc 12:14  For God <0430> shall bring <0935> (8686) every work 
<04639> into judgment <04941>, with every secret thing <05956> 
(8737), whether it be good <02896>, or whether it be evil 
<07451>.
