Ecclesiastes 2:12

2:12

And I turned
<06437> (8804)

myself to behold
<07200> (8800)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and madness
<01947>_,

and folly
<05531>_:

for what [can] the man
<0120>

[do] that cometh
<0935> (8799)

after
<0310>

the king
<04428>_?

[even] that which hath been already
<03528>

done
<06213> (8804)_.

{even...: or, in those things which have been already done}

Ecclesiastes 2:16

2:16

For [there is] no remembrance
<02146>

of the wise
<02450>

more than
<05973>

of the fool
<03684>

for ever
<05769>_;

seeing that which now
<03528>

[is] in the days
<03117>

to come
<0935> (8802)

shall all be forgotten
<07911> (8738)_.

And how dieth
<04191> (8799)

the wise
<02450>

[man]? as the fool
<03684>_.

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 2:23-24

2:23

For all his days
<03117>

[are] sorrows
<04341>_,

and his travail
<06045>

grief
<03708>_;

yea, his heart
<03820>

taketh not rest
<07901> (8804)

in the night
<03915>_.

This is also vanity
<01892>_.

2:24

[There is] nothing better
<02896>

for a man
<0120>_,

[than] that he should eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8804)_,

and [that] he should make his soul
<05315>

enjoy
<07200> (8689)

good
<02896>

in his labour
<05999>_.

This
<02090>

also I saw
<07200> (8804)_,

that it [was] from the hand
<03027>

of God
<0430>_.

{should make...: or, delight his senses}

Ecclesiastes 3:17

3:17

I said
<0559> (8804)

in mine heart
<03820>_,

God
<0430>

shall judge
<08199> (8799)

the righteous
<06662>

and the wicked
<07563>_:

for [there is] a time
<06256>

there for every purpose
<02656>

and for every work
<04639>_.

Ecclesiastes 4:10

4:10

For if they fall
<05307> (8799)_,

the one
<0259>

will lift up
<06965> (8686)

his fellow
<02270>_:

but woe
<0337>

to him [that is] alone
<0259>

when he falleth
<05307> (8799)_;

for [he hath] not another
<08145>

to help him up
<06965> (8687)_.

Ecclesiastes 5:4

5:4

When thou vowest
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>

unto God
<0430>_,

defer
<0309> (8762)

not to pay
<07999> (8763)

it; for [he hath] no pleasure
<02656>

in fools
<03684>_:

pay
<07999> (8761)

that which thou hast vowed
<05087> (8799)_.

Ecclesiastes 5:11

5:11

When goods
<02896>

increase
<07235> (8800)_,

they are increased
<07231> (8804)

that eat
<0398> (8802)

them: and what good
<03788>

[is there] to the owners
<01167>

thereof, saving
<0518>

the beholding
<07207> (8675) <07212> (8801)

[of them] with their eyes
<05869>_?

Ecclesiastes 7:10

7:10

Say
<0559> (8799)

not thou, What is [the cause] that the former
<07223>

days
<03117>

were better
<02896>

than these? for thou dost not enquire
<07592> (8804)

wisely
<02451>

concerning this. {wisely: Heb. out of wisdom}

Ecclesiastes 7:18

7:18

[It is] good
<02896>

that thou shouldest take hold
<0270> (8799)

of this; yea, also from this
<02088>

withdraw
<03240> (8686)

not thine hand
<03027>_:

for he that feareth
<03373>

God
<0430>

shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

of them all.

Ecclesiastes 8:3

8:3

Be not hasty
<0926> (8735)

to go out
<03212> (8799)

of his sight
<06440>_:

stand
<05975> (8799)

not in an evil
<07451>

thing
<01697>_;

for he doeth
<06213> (8799)

whatsoever pleaseth
<02654> (8799)

him.

Go thy way
<03212> (8798)_,

eat
<0398> (8798)

thy bread
<03899>

with joy
<08057>_,

and drink
<08354> (8798)

thy wine
<03196>

with a merry
<02896>

heart
<03820>_;

for God
<0430>

now
<03528>

accepteth
<07521> (8804)

thy works
<04639>_.

Ecclesiastes 9:10

9:10

Whatsoever thy hand
<03027>

findeth
<04672> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)_,

do
<06213> (8798)

[it] with thy might
<03581>_;

for [there is] no work
<04639>_,

nor device
<02808>_,

nor knowledge
<01847>_,

nor wisdom
<02451>_,

in the grave
<07585>_,

whither thou goest
<01980> (8802)_.

If the spirit
<07307>

of the ruler
<04910> (8802)

rise up
<05927> (8799)

against thee, leave
<03240> (8686)

not thy place
<04725>_;

for yielding
<04832>

pacifieth
<03240> (8686)

great
<01419>

offences
<02399>_.

Give
<05414> (8798)

a portion
<02506>

to seven
<07651>_,

and also to eight

for thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not what evil
<07451>

shall be upon the earth
<0776>_.

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 12:13-14

12:13

Let us hear
<08085> (8799)

the conclusion
<05490>

of the whole matter

Fear
<03372> (8798)

God
<0430>_,

and keep
<08104> (8798)

his commandments
<04687>_:

for this [is] the whole [duty] of man
<0120>_.

{Let...: or, The end of the matter, even all that hath been heard, is}

12:14

For God
<0430>

shall bring
<0935> (8686)

every work
<04639>

into judgment
<04941>_,

with every secret thing
<05956> (8737)_,

whether [it be] good
<02896>_,

or whether [it be] evil
<07451>_.
