Ecclesiastes 9:1-15
in my heart
<03820>
<03820>
all this, that the righteous
<06662>_,
<06662>_,
and the wise
<02450>_,
<02450>_,
and their works
<05652>_,
<05652>_,
[are] in the hand
<03027>
<03027>
of God
<0430>_:
<0430>_:
no man
<0120>
<0120>
either
<01571>
<01571>
love
<0160>
<0160>
or hatred
<08135>
<08135>
[by] all [that is] before
<06440>
them. {I considered...: Heb. I gave, or, set to my heart}<06440>
All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one
<0259>
<0259>
event
<04745>
<04745>
to the righteous
<06662>_,
<06662>_,
and to the wicked
<07563>_;
<07563>_;
to the good
<02896>
<02896>
and to the clean
<02889>_,
<02889>_,
and to the unclean
<02931>_;
<02931>_;
and to him that
<0834>
<0834>
not: as [is] the good
<02896>_,
<02896>_,
as [he] that feareth
<03373>
<03373>
an oath
<07621>_.
<07621>_.
This [is] an evil
<07451>
<07451>
under the sun
<08121>_,
<08121>_,
that [there is] one
<0259>
<0259>
event
<04745>
<04745>
unto all: yea, also the heart
<03820>
<03820>
of the sons
<01121>
<01121>
of men
<0120>
<0120>
of evil
<07451>_,
<07451>_,
and madness
<01947>
<01947>
[is] in their heart
<03824>
<03824>
while they live
<02416>_,
<02416>_,
and after
<0310>
<0310>
For
<04310>
<04310>
to him that is
<03426>
<03426>
to all the living
<02416>
<02416>
there is hope
<0986>_:
<0986>_:
for a living
<02416>
<02416>
dog
<03611>
<03611>
is better
<02896>
<02896>
lion
<0738>_.
<0738>_.
For the living
<02416>
<02416>
not any thing
<03972>_,
<03972>_,
neither have they any more a reward
<07939>_;
<07939>_;
for the memory
<02143>
<02143>
Also their love
<0160>_,
<0160>_,
and their hatred
<08135>_,
<08135>_,
and their envy
<07068>_,
<07068>_,
is now
<03528>
<03528>
neither have they any more a portion
<02506>
<02506>
for ever
<05769>
<05769>
under the sun
<08121>_.
<08121>_.
thy bread
<03899>
<03899>
with joy
<08057>_,
<08057>_,
thy wine
<03196>
<03196>
with a merry
<02896>
<02896>
heart
<03820>_;
<03820>_;
for God
<0430>
<0430>
now
<03528>
<03528>
thy works
<04639>_.
<04639>_.
Let thy garments
<0899>
<0899>
be always
<06256>
<06256>
white
<03836>_;
<03836>_;
and let thy head
<07218>
<07218>
no ointment
<08081>_.
<08081>_.
Live
<02416>
<02416>
with the wife
<0802>
<0802>
all the days
<03117>
<03117>
of the life
<02416>
<02416>
of thy vanity
<01892>_,
<01892>_,
thee under the sun
<08121>_,
<08121>_,
all the days
<03117>
<03117>
of thy vanity
<01892>_:
<01892>_:
for that [is] thy portion
<02506>
<02506>
in [this] life
<02416>_,
<02416>_,
and in thy labour
<05999>
<05999>
which thou takest
<06001>
<06001>
under the sun
<08121>_.
{Live...: Heb. See, or, Enjoy life}<08121>_.
Whatsoever thy hand
<03027>
<03027>
[it] with thy might
<03581>_;
<03581>_;
for [there is] no work
<04639>_,
<04639>_,
nor device
<02808>_,
<02808>_,
nor knowledge
<01847>_,
<01847>_,
nor wisdom
<02451>_,
<02451>_,
in the grave
<07585>_,
<07585>_,
under the sun
<08121>_,
<08121>_,
that the race
<04793>
<04793>
[is] not to the swift
<07031>_,
<07031>_,
nor the battle
<04421>
<04421>
to the strong
<01368>_,
<01368>_,
neither yet bread
<03899>
<03899>
to the wise
<02450>_,
<02450>_,
nor yet riches
<06239>
<06239>
nor yet favour
<02580>
<02580>
but time
<06256>
<06256>
and chance
<06294>
to them all.<06294>
For man
<0120>
<0120>
not his time
<06256>_:
<06256>_:
as the fishes
<01709>
<01709>
in an evil
<07451>
<07451>
net
<04685>_,
<04685>_,
and as the birds
<06833>
<06833>
in the snare
<06341>_;
<06341>_;
so
<01992>
<01992>
[are] the sons
<01121>
<01121>
of men
<0120>
<0120>
in an evil
<07451>
<07451>
time
<06256>_,
<06256>_,
suddenly
<06597>
upon them.<06597>
