ECCLESIASTES 4 4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that FOR this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. 8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, FOR whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. 9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward FOR their labour. 10 FOR if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; FOR he hath not another to help him up. 14 FOR out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor. ECCLESIASTES 5 1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of GOD, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: FOR they consider not that they do evil. 2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before GOD: FOR GOD is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. 3 FOR a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. 4 When thou vowest a vow unto GOD, defer not to pay it; FOR he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should GOD be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? 7 FOR in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou GOD. 8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: FOR he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they. 9 Moreover the profit of the earth is FOR all: the king himself is served by the field. 13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept FOR the owners thereof to their hurt. 16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured FOR the wind? 18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely FOR one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which GOD giveth him: FOR it is his portion. 19 Every man also to whom GOD hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of GOD. 20 FOR he shall not much remember the days of his life; because GOD answereth him in the joy of his heart. ECCLESIASTES 6 2 A man to whom GOD hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing FOR his soul of all that he desireth, yet GOD giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. 4 FOR he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. 7 All the labour of man is FOR his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. 8 FOR what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living? 12 FOR who knoweth what is good FOR man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? FOR who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? ECCLESIASTES 7 2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: FOR that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. 3 Sorrow is better than laughter: FOR by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. 5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than FOR a man to hear the song of fools. 6 FOR as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: FOR anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? FOR thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this. 12 FOR wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. 13 Consider the work of GOD: FOR who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: GOD also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. 18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: FOR he that feareth GOD shall come forth of them all. 20 FOR there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. 22 FOR oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth GOD shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. 29 Lo, this only have I found, that GOD hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. ECCLESIASTES 8 2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of GOD. 3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; FOR he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. 7 FOR he knoweth not that which shall be: FOR who can tell him when it shall be? 12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear GOD, which fear before him: 13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before GOD. 15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: FOR that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which GOD giveth him under the sun. 16 When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (FOR also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:) 17 Then I beheld all the work of GOD, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. ECCLESIASTES 9 1 FOR all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of GOD: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. 4 FOR to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: FOR a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5 FOR the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; FOR the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion FOR ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; FOR GOD now accepteth thy works. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: FOR that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; FOR there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. 12 FOR man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. --MORE-- |
