<08446> (8800)

by wisdom
<02451>

concerning all [things] that are done
<06213> (8738)

under heaven
<08064>_:

this sore
<07451>

<06045>

given
<05414> (8804)

<01121>

I sought
<08446> (8804)

in mine heart
<03820>

to give
<04900> (8800)

myself
<01320>

unto wine
<03196>_,

yet acquainting
<05090> (8802)

mine heart
<03820>

with wisdom
<02451>_;

and to lay hold
<0270> (8800)

on folly
<05531>_,

till I might see
<07200> (8799)

what [was] that good
<02896>

for the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

which they should do
<06213> (8799)

under the heaven
<08064>

all
<04557>

the days

that [is] good
<02896>

in his sight
<06440>

wisdom
<02451>_,

and knowledge
<01847>_,

and joy
<08057>_:

but to the sinner
<02398> (8802)

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

<05414> (8804)

the world
<05769>

in their heart
<03820>_,

so that
<01097>

no man
<0120>

the work
<04639>

that God

to eat
<0398> (8800)

<05375> (8800)

his portion
<02506>_,

and to rejoice
<08055> (8800)

this

In the day
<03117>

be joyful
<02896>_,

but in the day

the other, to the end

after
<0310>

him. {set: Heb. made}

that hath power
<07989>

over the spirit
<07307>

to retain

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}

Ecclesiastes 8:15

8:15

Then I commended
<07623> (8765)

mirth
<08057>_,

because a man
<0120>

hath no better thing
<02896>

under the sun
<08121>_,

than to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and to drink

the days
<03117>

of his life

which God

giveth
<05414> (8804)

him under the sun
<08121>_.

9:1

For all this I considered
<05414> (8804)

in my heart
<03820>

even to declare
<0952> (8800)

all this, that the righteous
<06662>_,

and the wise
<02450>_,

and their works
<05652>_,

[are] in the hand
<03027>

of God
<0430>_:

no man
<0120>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

either
<01571>

love
<0160>

or hatred
<08135>

[by] all [that is] before
<06440>

them. {I considered...: Heb. I gave, or, set to my heart}

9:3

This [is] an evil
<07451>

among all [things] that are done
<06213> (8738)

under the sun
<08121>_,

that [there is] one
<0259>

event
<04745>

unto all: yea, also the heart
<03820>

of the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>

is full
<04390> (8804)

of evil
<07451>_,

and madness
<01947>

[is] in their heart
<03824>

while they live
<02416>_,

and after
<0310>

that [they go] to the dead
<04191> (8801)_.

Ecclesiastes 12:5

12:5

Also [when] they shall be afraid
<03372> (8799)

of [that which is] high
<01364>_,

and fears
<02849>

[shall be] in the way
<01870>_,

and the almond tree
<08247>

shall flourish
<05006> (8686)_,

and the grasshopper
<02284>

shall be a burden
<05445> (8691)_,

and desire
<035>

shall fail
<06565> (8686)_:

because man
<0120>

goeth
<01980> (8802)

to his long
<05769>

home
<01004>_,

and the mourners
<05594> (8802)

go about
<05437> (8804)

the streets
<07784>_:
