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}

Ecclesiastes 3:11

3:11

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
<07218>

to the end
<05490>_.

Ecclesiastes 3:14

3:14

I know
<03045> (8804)

that, whatsoever God
<0430>

doeth
<06213> (8799)_,

it shall be for ever
<05769>_:

nothing
<0369>

can be put
<03254> (8687)

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

from it: and God
<0430>

doeth
<06213> (8804)

[it], that [men] should fear
<03372> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.

Ecclesiastes 5:1

5:1

Keep
<08104> (8798)

thy foot
<07272>

when thou goest
<03212> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

and be more ready
<07138>

to hear
<08085> (8800)_,

than to give
<05414> (8800)

the sacrifice
<02077>

of fools
<03684>_:

for they consider
<03045> (8802)

not that they do
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>_.

Ecclesiastes 5:6

5:6

Suffer
<05414> (8799)

not thy mouth
<06310>

to cause thy flesh
<01320>

to sin
<02398> (8687)_;

neither say
<0559> (8799)

thou before
<06440>

the angel
<04397>_,

that it [was] an error
<07684>_:

wherefore should God
<0430>

be angry
<07107> (8799)

at thy voice
<06963>_,

and destroy
<02254> (8765)

the work
<04639>

of thine hands
<03027>_?

Ecclesiastes 5:18-19

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}

5:19

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
<02090>

[is] the gift
<04991>

of God
<0430>_.

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 7:26

7:26

And I find
<04672> (8802)

more bitter
<04751>

than death
<04194>

the woman
<0802>_,

whose heart
<03820>

[is] snares
<04685>

and nets
<02764>_,

[and] her hands
<03027>

[as] bands
<0612>_:

whoso pleaseth
<02896> <06440>

God
<0430>

shall escape
<04422> (8735)

from her; but the sinner
<02398> (8802)

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)

by her. {whoso...: Heb. he that is good before God}

Ecclesiastes 8:12

8:12

Though a sinner
<02398> (8802)

do
<06213> (8802)

evil
<07451>

an hundred times
<03967>_,

and his [days] be prolonged
<0748> (8688)_,

yet surely I know
<03045> (8802)

that it shall be well
<02896>

with them that fear
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

which fear
<03372> (8799)

before
<06440>

him:

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
<08354> (8800)_,

and to be merry
<08055> (8800)_:

for that shall abide
<03867> (8799)

with him of his labour
<05999>

the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_,

which God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8804)

him under the sun
<08121>_.

Ecclesiastes 9:1

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}

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>_.
