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 4:16--5:1

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>_.

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 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 8:15-16

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>_.

8:16

When I applied
<05414> (8804)

mine heart
<03820>

to know
<03045> (8800)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and to see
<07200> (8800)

the business
<06045>

that is done
<06213> (8738)

upon the earth
<0776>_:

(for also [there is that] neither day
<03117>

nor night
<03915>

seeth
<07200> (8802)

sleep
<08142>

with his eyes
<05869>:)

Ecclesiastes 9:1-2

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}

9:2

All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one
<0259>

event
<04745>

to the righteous
<06662>_,

and to the wicked
<07563>_;

to the good
<02896>

and to the clean
<02889>_,

and to the unclean
<02931>_;

to him that sacrificeth
<02076> (8802)_,

and to him that
<0834>

sacrificeth
<02076> (8802)

not: as [is] the good
<02896>_,

so [is] the sinner
<02398> (8802)_;

[and] he that sweareth
<07650> (8737)_,

as [he] that feareth
<03373>

an oath
<07621>_.

Ecclesiastes 11:5-6

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.

11:6

In the morning
<01242>

sow
<02232> (8798)

thy seed
<02233>_,

and in the evening
<06153>

withhold
<03240> (8686)

not thine hand
<03027>_:

for thou knowest
<03045> (8802)

not whether
<0335>

shall prosper
<03787> (8799)_,

either this or that, or whether they both
<08147>

[shall be] alike
<0259>

good
<02896>_.

{shall prosper: Heb. shall be right}

Ecclesiastes 12:1

12:1

Remember
<02142> (8798)

now thy Creator
<01254> (8802)

in the days
<03117>

of thy youth
<0979>_,

while the evil
<07451>

days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8799)

not, nor the years
<08141>

draw nigh
<05060> (8689)_,

when thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)_,

I have no pleasure
<02656>

in them;
