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>

<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>_.

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

<03045> (8804)

that, whatsoever God
<0430>

doeth
<06213> (8799)_,

it shall be for ever

nothing
<0369>

can be put
<03254> (8687)

to it, nor any thing taken
<01639> (8800)

from it: and God
<0430>

before

<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)_.

5:18

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>_.

{It is good...: Heb. there is a good which is comely, etc} {all the days: Heb. the number of the days}

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

[is] the gift
<04991>

of God
<0430>_.

Ecclesiastes 6:2

6:2

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>_.

Ecclesiastes 9:11

9:11

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.

Ecclesiastes 11:5

11:5

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.

Ecclesiastes 11:9

11:9

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>_.
