Psalms 39:6

39:6

Surely every man
<0376>

walketh
<01980> (8691)

in a vain shew
<06754>_:

surely they are disquieted
<01993> (8799)

in vain
<01892>_:

he heapeth up
<06651> (8799)

[riches], and knoweth
<03045> (8799)

not who shall gather
<0622> (8802)

them. {a vain...: Heb. an image}

Psalms 49:16-20

49:16

Be not thou afraid
<03372> (8799)

when one
<0376>

is made rich
<06238> (8686)_,

when the glory
<03519>

of his house
<01004>

is increased
<07235> (8799)_;

49:17

For when he dieth
<04194>

he shall carry nothing away
<03947> (8799)_:

his glory
<03519>

shall not descend
<03381> (8799)

after
<0310>

him.

49:18

Though while he lived
<02416>

he blessed
<01288> (8762)

his soul
<05315>_:

and [men] will praise
<03034> (8686)

thee, when thou doest well
<03190> (8686)

to thyself. {while...: Heb. in his life}

49:19

He shall go
<0935> (8799)

to the generation
<01755>

of his fathers
<01>_;

they shall never
<03808> <05331>

see
<07200> (8799)

light
<0216>_.

{He...: Heb. The soul shall}

49:20

Man
<0120>

[that is] in honour
<03366>_,

and understandeth
<0995> (8799)

not, is like
<04911> (8738)

the beasts
<0929>

[that] perish
<01820> (8738)_.

Ecclesiastes 2:3-26

2:3

I sought
<08446> (8804)

in mine heart
<03820>

to give
<04900> (8800)

myself
<01320>

unto wine
<03196>_,

yet acquainting
<05090> (8802)

mine heart
<03820>

with wisdom
<02451>_;

and to lay hold
<0270> (8800)

on folly
<05531>_,

till I might see
<07200> (8799)

what [was] that good
<02896>

for the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

which they should do
<06213> (8799)

under the heaven
<08064>

all
<04557>

the days
<03117>

of their life
<02416>_.

{to give...: Heb. to draw my flesh with wine} {all...: Heb. the number of the days of their life}

2:4

I made me great
<01431> (8689)

works
<04639>_;

I builded
<01129> (8804)

me houses
<01004>_;

I planted
<05193> (8804)

me vineyards
<03754>_:

2:5

I made
<06213> (8804)

me gardens
<01593>

and orchards
<06508>_,

and I planted
<05193> (8804)

trees
<06086>

in them of all [kind of] fruits
<06529>_:

2:6

I made
<06213> (8804)

me pools
<01295>

of water
<04325>_,

to water
<08248> (8687)

therewith the wood
<03293>

that bringeth forth
<06779> (8802)

trees
<06086>_:

2:7

I got
<07069> (8804)

[me] servants
<05650>

and maidens
<08198>_,

and had servants born
<01121>

in my house
<01004>_;

also I had great
<07235> (8687)

possessions
<04735>

of great
<01241>

and small cattle
<06629>

above all that were in Jerusalem
<03389>

before
<06440>

me: {servants born...: Heb. sons of my house}

2:8

I gathered
<03664> (8804)

me also silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>_,

and the peculiar treasure
<05459>

of kings
<04428>

and of the provinces
<04082>_:

I gat
<06213> (8804)

me men singers
<07891> (8802)

and women singers
<07891> (8802)_,

and the delights
<08588>

of the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

[as] musical instruments
<07705> <07705>_,

and that of all sorts. {musical...: Heb. musical instrument and instruments}

2:9

So I was great
<01431> (8804)_,

and increased
<03254> (8689)

more than all that were before
<06440>

me in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

also my wisdom
<02451>

remained
<05975> (8804)

with me.

2:10

And whatsoever mine eyes
<05869>

desired
<07592> (8804)

I kept
<0680> (8804)

not from them, I withheld
<04513> (8804)

not my heart
<03820>

from any joy
<08057>_;

for my heart
<03820>

rejoiced
<08056>

in all my labour
<05999>_:

and this was my portion
<02506>

of all my labour
<05999>_.

2:11

Then I looked
<06437> (8804)

on all the works
<04639>

that my hands
<03027>

had wrought
<06213> (8804)_,

and on the labour
<05999>

that I had laboured
<05998> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)_:

and, behold, all [was] vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07469>

of spirit
<07307>_,

and [there was] no profit
<03504>

under the sun
<08121>_.

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}

2:13

Then I saw
<07200> (8804)

that
<03426>

wisdom
<02451>

excelleth
<03504>

folly
<05531>_,

as far as light
<0216>

excelleth
<03504>

darkness
<02822>_.

{that...: Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc}

2:14

The wise man's
<02450>

eyes
<05869>

[are] in his head
<07218>_;

but the fool
<03684>

walketh
<01980> (8802)

in darkness
<02822>_:

and I myself perceived
<03045> (8804)

also that one
<0259>

event
<04745>

happeneth
<07136> (8799)

to them all.

2:15

Then
<0227>

said
<0559> (8804)

I in my heart
<03820>_,

As it happeneth
<04745>

to the fool
<03684>_,

so it happeneth
<07136> (8799)

even to me
<01571>_;

and why was I then more
<03148>

wise
<02449> (8804)_?

Then I said
<01696> (8765)

in my heart
<03820>_,

that this also [is] vanity
<01892>_.

{happeneth even...: Heb. happeneth to me, even to me}

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>_.

2:17

Therefore I hated
<08130> (8804)

life
<02416>_;

because the work
<04639>

that is wrought
<06213> (8738)

under the sun
<08121>

[is] grievous
<07451>

unto me: for all [is] vanity
<01892>

and vexation
<07469>

of spirit
<07307>_.

2:18

Yea, I hated
<08130> (8804)

all my labour
<05999>

which I had taken
<06001>

under the sun
<08121>_:

because I should leave
<03240> (8686)

it unto the man
<0120>

that shall be after
<0310>

me. {taken: Heb. laboured}

2:19

And who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

whether he shall be a wise
<02450>

[man] or a fool
<05530>_?

yet shall he have rule
<07980> (8799)

over all my labour
<05999>

wherein I have laboured
<05998> (8804)_,

and wherein I have shewed myself wise
<02449> (8804)

under the sun
<08121>_.

This [is] also vanity
<01892>_.

2:20

Therefore I went about
<05437> (8804)

to cause
<02976> (0)

my heart
<03820>

to despair
<02976> (8763)

of all the labour
<05999>

which I took
<05998> (8804)

under the sun
<08121>_.

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}

2:22

For what hath
<01933> (8802)

man
<0120>

of all his labour
<05999>_,

and of the vexation
<07475>

of his heart
<03820>_,

wherein
<01931>

he hath laboured
<06001>

under the sun
<08121>_?

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}

2:25

For who can eat
<0398> (8799)_,

or who else can hasten
<02363> (8799)

[hereunto], more
<02351>

than I?

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}

Isaiah 55:2

55:2

Wherefore do ye spend
<08254> (8799)

money
<03701>

for [that which is] not bread
<03899>_?

and your labour
<03018>

for [that which] satisfieth
<07654>

not
<03808>_?

hearken
<08085> (8798)

diligently
<08085> (8800)

unto me, and eat
<0398> (8798)

ye [that which is] good
<02896>_,

and let your soul
<05315>

delight
<06026> (8691)

itself in fatness
<01880>_.

{spend: Heb. weigh}

Luke 12:19

12:19

And
<2532>

I will say
<2046> (5692)

to my
<3450>

soul
<5590>_,

Soul
<5590>_,

thou hast
<2192> (5719)

much
<4183>

goods
<18>

laid up
<2749> (5740)

for
<1519>

many
<4183>

years
<2094>_;

take thine ease
<373> (5732)_,

eat
<5315> (5628)_,

drink
<4095> (5628)_,

[and] be merry
<2165> (5744)_.

Luke 16:19

16:19

<1161>@ There was
<2258> (5713)

a certain
<5100>

rich
<4145>

man
<444>_,

which
<2532>

was clothed
<1737> (5710)

in purple
<4209>

and
<2532>

fine linen
<1040>_,

and fared
<2165> (5746)

sumptuously
<2988>

every
<2596>

day
<2250>_:

James 4:13

4:13

Go to

To day

to morrow
<839>

we will go

buy and sell

and
<2532>

get gain
<2770> (5661) (5625) <2770> (5692)_:

James 5:1-5

5:1

Go to
<33> (5720)

now
<3568>_,

[ye] rich men
<4145>_,

weep
<2799> (5657)

and howl
<3649> (5723)

for
<1909>

your
<5216>

miseries
<5004>

that shall come upon
<1904> (5740)

[you].

5:2

Your
<5216>

riches
<4149>

are corrupted
<4595> (5754)_,

and
<2532>

your
<5216>

garments
<2440>

are
<1096> (5754)

motheaten
<4598>_.

5:3

Your
<5216>

gold
<5557>

and
<2532>

silver
<696>

is cankered
<2728> (5769)_;

and
<2532>

the rust
<2447>

of them
<846>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

a witness
<3142>

against
<1519>

you
<5213>_,

and
<2532>

shall eat
<5315> (5695)

your
<5216>

flesh
<4561>

as it were
<5613>

fire
<4442>_.

Ye have heaped treasure together
<2343> (5656)

for
<1722>

the last
<2078>

days
<2250>_.

5:4

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

the hire
<3408>

of the labourers
<2040>

who
<3588>

have reaped down
<270> (5660)

your

fields

which

is of

you

kept back by fraud

crieth

and
<2532>

the cries
<995>

of them which have reaped
<2325> (5660)

are entered
<1525> (5754)

into
<1519>

the ears
<3775>

of the Lord
<2962>

of sabaoth

{sabaoth: Heb. hosts}

5:5

Ye have lived in pleasure
<5171> (5656)

on
<1909>

the earth
<1093>_,

and

been wanton
<4684> (5656)_;

ye have nourished
