Ecclesiastes 1:12

1:12

I the Preacher
<06953>

was king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

Ecclesiastes 7:16

7:16

Be not righteous
<06662>

over much
<07235> (8687)_;

neither make thyself over
<03148>

wise
<02449> (8691)_:

why shouldest thou destroy
<08074> (8709)

thyself? {destroy...: Heb. be desolate?}

Ecclesiastes 8:8-9

8:8

[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. {discharge: or, casting off weapons}

8:9

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>_.

Ecclesiastes 6:8

6:8

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>_?

Ecclesiastes 5:8

5:8

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>_.

{at the... Heb. at the will, or, purpose}

Ecclesiastes 6:6

6:6

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>_?

Ecclesiastes 3:19

3:19

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>_.

Ecclesiastes 2:19

2:19

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>_.

Ecclesiastes 1:16

1:16

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>_.

{had...: Heb. had seen much}

Ecclesiastes 2:20

2:20

Therefore I went about
<05437> (8804)

to cause
<02976> (0)

my heart
<03820>

to despair
<02976> (8763)

of all the labour
<05999>

which I took
<05998> (8804)

under the sun
<08121>_.

Ecclesiastes 7:17

7:17

Be not over much
<07235> (8687)

wicked
<07561> (8799)_,

neither be thou foolish
<05530>_:

why shouldest thou die
<04191> (8799)

before thy time
<06256>_?

{before...: Heb. not in thy time?}

Ecclesiastes 4:16

4:16

[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>_.

Ecclesiastes 12:3

12:3

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)_,

{the grinders...: or, the grinders fail, because they grind little}

Ecclesiastes 5:20

5:20

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>_.

{For...: or, Though he give not much, yet he remembereth, etc}

Ecclesiastes 1:17

1:17

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>_.

Ecclesiastes 2:21

2:21

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>_.

{leave: Heb. give}

Ecclesiastes 7:14

7:14

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. {set: Heb. made}

Ecclesiastes 2:26

2:26

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>_.

{in his...: Heb. before him}
