ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

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>.
