Ecclesiastes 9 As the just, and the wise, even their works are in the hand of God. Indeed even love, indeed even hatred, there is no man knowing all the things before them.

1 G5613 As G3588 the G1342 just, G2532 and G3588 the G4680 wise, G2532 even G3588 G2039 their works G1473 G1722 are in G5495 the hand G3588 G2316 of God. G2532 Indeed even G1065 G26 love, G2532 indeed even G1065 G3411.1 hatred, G3756 there is no G1510.2.3 G1492 [²knowing G3588 G444 ¹man] G3588 all the things G3956 G4253 before G4383 G1473 them.

2 G3153 Folly G1722 is in G3588 G3956 all things; G4876.2 [²event G1520 ¹ there is one] G3588 to the G1342 just, G2532 and G1520 one G3588 to the G765 impious; G3588 to the G18 good G2532 and G3588 to the G2556 bad; G2532 and G3588 to the G2513 clean G2532 and G3588 to the G169 unclean; G2532 and G3588 to the one G2378.1 sacrificing G2532 and G3588 to the one G3361 not G2378.1 sacrificing; G5613 as G3588 is the G18 good, G5613 as G3588 is the G264 one sinning; G5613 as G3588 the G3660 one swearing by an oath, G2531 as G3588 is the one G3588 [²the G3727 ³oath G5399 ¹fearing].

3 G3778 This G4190 evil G1722 is in G3956 all G4160 being done G5259 under G3588 the G2246 sun, G3754 for there is G4876.2 [²event G1520 ¹one] G3588 G3956 to all. G2532 And G1065 indeed G2588 the heart G5207 of the sons G3588 G444 of man G4137 are filled G4190 with evil; G2532 and G4063.1 madness G1722 in G2588 their heart G1473 G1722 during G2222 their life, G1473 G2532 and G3694 after G1473 them G4314 they go to G3588 the G3498 dead.

4 G3754 For G5100 someone G3739 who G2841 participates G4314 with G3956 all G3588 the G2198 living G1510.2.3 there is G1680 hope; G3754 for G3588 the G2965 [²dog G3588 G2198 ¹living] G1473 himself G18 is good G5228 over G3588 the G3023 [²lion G3588 G3498 ¹dead].

5 G3754 For G3588 the G2198 living G1097 shall know G3754 that G599 they shall die; G2532 but G3588 the G3498 dead G3756 are not G1510.2.6 G1097 knowing G3762 anything; G2532 and G3756 there is not G1510.2.3 G1473 [²to them G2089 ³any longer G3408 ¹a wage], G3754 for G1950 [²was forgotten G3588 G3420 ¹their remembrance]. G1473

6 G2532 And G1065 indeed G26 their love, G1473 G2532 and G1065 indeed G3411.1 their hatred, G1473 G2532 and G1065 indeed G2205 their zeal G1473 G2235 already G622 perished; G2532 and G3310 [²portion G3756 ¹there is no] G1510.2.3 G1473 to them G2089 any longer G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon, G1722 in G3956 all things G3588 G4160 being done G5259 under G3588 the G2246 sun.

7 G1204 Come, G2068 eat G1722 with G2167 gladness G3588 G740 of your bread, G1473 G2532 and G4095 drink G1722 [²with G2588 ⁴heart G18 ³a good G3631 ¹your wine]! G1473 G3754 for G2235 already G2106 God thought well G3588 G2316 G3588 G4161 of your actions G1473

8 G1722 In G3956 every G2540 time G1510.5 let [²be G2440 ¹your garments] G1473 G3022 white, G2532 and G1637 [²oil G1909 ⁴upon G2776 ⁵your head G1473 G3361 ¹let not G5302 ³be lacking]!

9 G2532 And G1492 behold G2222 life G3326 with G1135 the wife G3739 which G25 you loved G3956 all G3588 the G2250 days G2222 of the life G3153 of your folly! G1473 G3588 the ones G1325 being given G1473 to you G5259 under G3588 the G2246 sun, G3956 all G3588 the G2250 days G2222 of the life G3153 of your folly. G1473 G3754 For G1473 it G3310 is your portion G1473 G1722 in G3588 G2222 your life, G1473 G2532 and G1722 in G3588 G3449 your effort G1473 G3739 wherein G1473 you G3449.1 made an effort G5259 under G3588 the G2246 sun.

10 G3956 All G3745 as much G302 as G2147 [²should find G3588 G5495 ¹your hand] G1473 G3588 G4160 to do, G5613 [²as G3588 ³is G1411 ⁵power G1473 ⁴in your G4160 ¹you do]; G3754 for G3756 there is no G1510.2.3 G4161 action, G2532 nor G3053 device, G2532 nor G1108 knowledge, G2532 nor G4678 wisdom G1722 in G86 Hades, G3699 of where G1473 you should G4198 go G1563 there.

11 G1994 I turned, G2532 and G1492 I beheld G5259 under G3588 the G2246 sun, G3754 that G3756 not G3588 to the G2893.1 light of foot G3588 is the G1408 race; G2532 and G3756 not G3588 to the G1415 mighty ones G3588 G4171 in battle; G2532 and G1065 indeed G3756 not G3588 to the G4680 wise G3588 is the G740 bread; G2532 and G1065 indeed G3756 not G3588 to the G4908 discerning ones G3588 is the G4149 riches; G2532 and G1065 indeed G3756 not G3588 to the ones G1097 knowing G5484 favor; G3754 for G2540 a season G2532 and G528.2 a meeting G4876 shall meet G4840.2 with them all. G1473

12 G2532 And G1065 indeed G3756 [²does not know G1097 G3588 G444 ¹man] G3588 G2540 his season. G1473 G5613 As G3588 G2486 fishes G3588 G2340 being hunted G1722 with G293 [²casting-net G2556 ¹a hurtful], G2532 and G5613 as G3732 birds G3588 G2340 being hunted G1722 with G3803 a snare -- G5613 as G1473 them G3802 [⁴shall be ensnared G3588 ¹the G5207 ²sons G3588 G444 ³of man] G1519 in G2540 [²season G4190 ¹an evil], G3752 whenever G1968 it should fall G1909 upon G1473 them G869 suddenly.

13 G2532 And G1065 indeed G3778 this G1492 I beheld -- G4678 wisdom G5259 under G3588 the G2246 sun, G2532 and G3173 it is great G1510.2.3 G4314 to G1473 me.

14 G4172 [²city G3397 ¹ If there were a small], G2532 and G435 the men G1722 in G1473 it G3641 few; G2532 and G2064 there should come G1909 against G1473 it G935 [²king G3173 ¹a great], G2532 and G2944 he shall encircle G1473 it, G2532 and G3618 shall build G1909 against G1473 it G5482 [²siege mounds G3173 ¹great];

15 G2532 and G2147 there should be found G1722 in G1473 it G435 [³man G3993 ¹a needy G4680 ²wise]; G2532 and G1295 [²shall deliver G1473 ¹he himself] G3588 the G4172 city G1722 in G3588 G4678 his wisdom; G1473 G2532 but G444 man G3756 remembered not G3403 G4862 with G3588 G435 [³man G3588 G3993 ²needy G1565 ¹that].

16 G2532 And G2036 I said, G1473 G18 [² is good G4678 ¹Wisdom] G5228 over G1411 power. G2532 But G4678 the wisdom G3588 of the G3993 needy man G1847 is being treated with contempt, G2532 and G3056 his words G1473 G3756 are not G1510.2.6 G191 being listened to.

17 G3056 Words G4680 of the wise G1722 being G372 at rest G191 are heard G5228 above G2906 a cry G1850 of ones being in authority G1722 in G877 follies.

18 G18 [² is good G4678 ¹Wisdom] G5228 over G4632 weapons G4171 of war; G2532 but G264 [²sinning G1520 ¹one] G622 shall destroy G19 [²goodness G4183 ¹much].
