EC-1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh

under the sun?

EC-1:10 Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this

[is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

EC-2:2 I said of laughter, [It is] mad: and of mirth, What doeth

it?

EC-2:12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and

folly: for what [can] the man [do] that cometh after the king?

[even] that which hath been already done.

EC-2:15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so

it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I

said in my heart, that this also [is] vanity.

EC-2:16 For [there is] no remembrance of the wise more than of

the fool for ever; seeing that which now [is] in the days to

come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise [man]? as

the fool.

EC-2:19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise [man] or a

fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have

laboured, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun.

This [is] also vanity.

EC-2:22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation

of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?

EC-2:25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten [hereunto], more

than I?

EC-3:9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he

laboureth?

EC-3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the

spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

EC-3:22 Wherefore I perceive that [there is] nothing better,

than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that [is]

his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after

him?

EC-4:8 There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yea,

he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all

his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither

[saith he], For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good?

This [is] also vanity, yea, it [is] a sore travail.

EC-4:11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how

can one be warm [alone]?

EC-5:6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither

say thou before the angel, that it [was] an error: wherefore

should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine

hands?

EC-5:11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them:

and what good [is there] to the owners thereof, saving the

beholding [of them] with their eyes?

EC-5:16 And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all points as

he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath

laboured for the wind?

EC-6:6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice [told], yet

hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

EC-6:8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the

poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

EC-6:11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what

[is] man the better?

EC-6:12 For who knoweth what [is] good for man in [this] life,

all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for

who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

EC-7:10 Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the former days

were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely

concerning this.

EC-7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make [that]

straight, which he hath made crooked?

EC-7:16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over

wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

EC-7:17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why

shouldest thou die before thy time?

EC-7:24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find

it out?

EC-8:1 Who [is] as the wise [man]? and who knoweth the

interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to

shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

EC-8:4 Where the word of a king [is, there is] power: and who

may say unto him, What doest thou?

EC-8:7 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell

him when it shall be?

EC-10:14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what

shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
