H5414
For all this I considered
[H8804]
H3820
in my heart
H952
even to declare
[H8800]
H6662
all this, that the righteous
H2450
, and the wise
H5652
, and their works
H3027
, are in the hand
H430
of God
H120
: no man
H3045
knoweth
[H8802]
H1571
either
H160
love
H8135
or hatred
H6440
by all that is before them.
2
H259
All things come alike to all: there is one
H4745
event
H6662
to the righteous
H7563
, and to the wicked
H2896
; to the good
H2889
and to the clean
H2931
, and to the unclean
H2076
; to him that sacrificeth
[H8802]
H834
, and to him that
H2076
sacrificeth
[H8802]
H2896
not: as is the good
H2398
, so is the sinner
[H8802]
H7650
; and he that sweareth
[H8737]
H3373
, as he that feareth
H7621
an oath.
3
H7451
This is an evil
H6213
among all things that are done
[H8738]
H8121
under the sun
H259
, that there is one
H4745
event
H3820
unto all: yea, also the heart
H1121
of the sons
H120
of men
H4390
is full
[H8804]
H7451
of evil
H1947
, and madness
H3824
is in their heart
H2416
while they live
H310
, and after
H4191
that they go to the dead
[H8801]
.
4
H4310
For
H3426
to him that is
H2266
joined
[H8792]
[H8675]
H977
[H8792]
H2416
to all the living
H986
there is hope
H2416
: for a living
H3611
dog
H2896
is better
H4191
than a dead
[H8801]
H738
lion.
5
H2416
For the living
H3045
know
[H8802]
H4191
that they shall die
[H8799]
H4191
: but the dead
[H8801]
H3045
know
[H8802]
H3972
not any thing
H7939
, neither have they any more a reward
H2143
; for the memory
H7911
of them is forgotten
[H8738]
.
6
H160
Also their love
H8135
, and their hatred
H7068
, and their envy
H3528
, is now
H6
perished
[H8804]
H2506
; neither have they any more a portion
H5769
for ever
H6213
in any thing that is done
[H8738]
H8121
under the sun.
7
H3212
Go thy way
[H8798]
H398
, eat
[H8798]
H3899
thy bread
H8057
with joy
H8354
, and drink
[H8798]
H3196
thy wine
H2896
with a merry
H3820
heart
H430
; for God
H3528
now
H7521
accepteth
[H8804]
H4639
thy works.
8
H899
Let thy garments
H6256
be always
H3836
white
H7218
; and let thy head
H2637
lack
[H8799]
H8081
no ointment.
9
H2416
Live
H7200
joyfully
[H8798]
H802
with the wife
H157
whom thou lovest
[H8804]
H3117
all the days
H2416
of the life
H1892
of thy vanity
H5414
, which he hath given
[H8804]
H8121
thee under the sun
H3117
, all the days
H1892
of thy vanity
H2506
: for that is thy portion
H2416
in this life
H5999
, and in thy labour
H6001
which thou takest
H8121
under the sun.
10
H3027
Whatsoever thy hand
H4672
findeth
[H8799]
H6213
to do
[H8800]
H6213
, do
[H8798]
H3581
it with thy might
H4639
; for there is no work
H2808
, nor device
H1847
, nor knowledge
H2451
, nor wisdom
H7585
, in the grave
H1980
, whither thou goest
[H8802]
.
11
H7725
I returned
[H8804]
H7200
, and saw
[H8800]
H8121
under the sun
H4793
, that the race
H7031
is not to the swift
H4421
, nor the battle
H1368
to the strong
H3899
, neither yet bread
H2450
to the wise
H6239
, nor yet riches
H995
to men of understanding
[H8737]
H2580
, nor yet favour
H3045
to men of skill
[H8802]
H6256
; but time
H6294
and chance
H7136
happeneth
[H8799]
to them all.
12
H120
For man
H3045
also knoweth
[H8799]
H6256
not his time
H1709
: as the fishes
H270
that are taken
[H8737]
H7451
in an evil
H4685
net
H6833
, and as the birds
H270
that are caught
[H8803]
H6341
in the snare
H1992
; so
H1121
are the sons
H120
of men
H3369
snared
[H8795]
H7451
in an evil
H6256
time
H5307
, when it falleth
[H8799]
H6597
suddenly upon them.
13
H2090
This
H2451
wisdom
H7200
have I seen
[H8804]
H8121
also under the sun
H1419
, and it seemed great unto me:
14
H6996
There was a little
H5892
city
H4592
, and few
H582
men
H935
within it; and there came
[H8804]
H1419
a great
H4428
king
H5437
against it, and besieged
[H8804]
H1129
it, and built
[H8804]
H1419
great
H4685
bulwarks against it:
15
H4672
Now there was found
[H8804]
H4542
in it a poor
H2450
wise
H376
man
H2451
, and he by his wisdom
H4422
delivered
[H8765]
H5892
the city
H120
; yet no man
H2142
remembered
[H8804]
H4542
that same poor
H376
man.
16
H559
Then said
[H8804]
H2451
I, Wisdom
H2896
is better
H1369
than strength
H4542
: nevertheless the poor man's
H2451
wisdom
H959
is despised
[H8803]
H1697
, and his words
H8085
are not heard
[H8737]
.
