Discovery BoxEcclesiastes 9:8-18
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>
[There was] a little
<06996>
<06996>
city
<05892>_,
<05892>_,
and few
<04592>
<04592>
men
<0582>
<0582>
a great
<01419>
<01419>
king
<04428>
<04428>
great
<01419>
<01419>
bulwarks
<04685>
against it:<04685>
in it a poor
<04542>
<04542>
wise
<02450>
<02450>
man
<0376>_,
<0376>_,
and he by his wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
the city
<05892>_;
<05892>_;
yet no man
<0120>
<0120>
that same poor
<04542>
<04542>
man
<0376>_.
<0376>_.
I, Wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
[is] better
<02896>
<02896>
than strength
<01369>_:
<01369>_:
nevertheless the poor man's
<04542>
<04542>
wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
and his words
<01697>
<01697>
