I EC 01 16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, {I} am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all [they] that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

I EC 02 03 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till {I} might see what [was] that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life. I EC 02 03 {I} sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what [was] that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life. I EC 02 04 I made me great works; I builded me houses; {I} planted me vineyards: I EC 02 04 I made me great works; {I} builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: I EC 02 04 {I} made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: I EC 02 05 I made me gardens and orchards, and {I} planted trees in them of all [kind of] fruits: I EC 02 05 {I} made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all [kind of] fruits: I EC 02 06 {I} made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees: I EC 02 07 I got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also {I} had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me: I EC 02 07 {I} got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me: I EC 02 08 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: {I} gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, [as] musical instruments, and that of all sorts. I EC 02 08 {I} gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, [as] musical instruments, and that of all sorts. I EC 02 09 So {I} was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. I EC 02 10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, {I} withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour. I EC 02 10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired {I} kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour. I EC 02 11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that {I} had laboured to do: and, behold, all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit, and [there was] no profit under the sun. I EC 02 11 Then {I} looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit, and [there was] no profit under the sun. I EC 02 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. I EC 02 13 Then {I} saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. I EC 02 14 The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and {I} myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. I EC 02 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. I EC 02 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. I EC 02 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. I EC 02 17 Therefore {I} hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun [is] grievous unto me: for all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. I EC 02 18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because {I} should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. I EC 02 18 Yea, I hated all my labour which {I} had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. I EC 02 18 Yea, {I} hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. I EC 02 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. I EC 02 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. I EC 02 20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which {I} took under the sun. I EC 02 20 Therefore {I} went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun. I EC 02 24 There is] nothing better for a man, [than] that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also {I} saw, that it [was] from the hand of God. I EC 02 25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten [hereunto], more than {I}? I EC 03 10 {I} have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. I EC 03 12 {I} know that [there is] no good in them, but for [a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life. I EC 03 14 {I} know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth [it], that [men] should fear before him. I EC 03 16 And moreover {I} saw under the sun the place of judgment, [that] wickedness [was] there; and the place of righteousness, [that] iniquity [was] there. I EC 03 17 {I} said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for [there is] a time there for every purpose and for every work. I EC 03 18 {I} said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. I EC 03 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? I EC 04 01 So {I} returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of [such as were] oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors [there was] power; but they had no comforter. I EC 04 02 Wherefore {I} praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive. I EC 04 04 Again, {I} considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit. I EC 04 07 Then I returned, and {I} saw vanity under the sun. I EC 04 07 Then {I} returned, and I saw vanity under the sun. I EC 04 08 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. I EC 04 15 {I} considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead. I EC 05 13 There is a sore evil [which] {I} have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. I EC 05 18 Behold [that] which {I} have seen: [it is] good and comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it [is] his portion. I EC 06 01 There is an evil which {I} have seen under the sun, and it [is] common among men: I EC 06 03 If a man beget an hundred [children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also [that] he have no burial; {I} say, [that] an untimely birth [is] better than he. I EC 07 15 All [things] have {I} seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness. I EC 07 23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, {I} will be wise; but it [was] far from me. I EC 07 23 All this have I proved by wisdom: {I} said, I will be wise; but it [was] far from me. I EC 07 23 All this have {I} proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it [was] far from me. I EC 07 25 {I} applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason [of things], and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness [and] madness: I EC 07 26 And {I} find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart [is] snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. I EC 07 27 Behold, this have {I} found, saith the preacher, [counting] one by one, to find out the account: I EC 07 28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have {I} not found. I EC 07 28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have {I} found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

I EC 07 29 Lo, this only have {I} found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. I EC 08 02 {I} [counsel thee] to keep the king's commandment, and [that] in regard of the oath of God. I EC 08 09 All this have {I} seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: [there is] a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. I EC 08 10 And so {I} saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this [is] also vanity. I EC 08 12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his [days] be prolonged, yet surely {I} know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: I EC 08 14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: {I} said that this also [is] vanity. I EC 08 15 Then {I} commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. I EC 08 16 When {I} applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also [there is that] neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:) I EC 08 17 Then {I} beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek [it] out, yet he shall not find [it]; yea farther; though a wise [man] think to know [it], yet shall he not be able to find [it]. I EC 09 01 For all this {I} considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, [are] in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred [by] all [that is] before them. I EC 09 11 {I} returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. I EC 09 13 This wisdom have {I} seen also under the sun, and it [seemed] great unto me: I EC 09 16 Then said {I}, Wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard. I EC 10 05 There is an evil [which] {I} have seen under the sun, as an error [which] proceedeth from the ruler: I EC 10 07 {I} have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. I EC 12 01 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, {I} have no pleasure in them; idleness EC 10 18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through {idleness} of the hands the house droppeth through. if EC 04 10 For {if} they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him [that is] alone when he falleth; for [he hath] not another to help him up. if EC 04 11 Again, {if} two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm [alone]? if EC 04 12 And {if} one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. If EC 05 08 {If} thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for [he that is] higher than the highest regardeth; and [there be] higher than they. If EC 06 03 {If} a man beget an hundred [children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also [that] he have no burial; I say, [that] an untimely birth [is] better than he. If EC 10 04 {If} the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences. If EC 10 10 {If} the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct. if EC 11 03 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty [themselves] upon the earth: and {if} the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. If EC 11 03 {If} the clouds be full of rain, they empty [themselves] upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. if EC 11 08 But {if} a man live many years, [and] rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh [is] vanity. in EC 01 01 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king {in} Jerusalem. in EC 01 12 I the Preacher was king over Israel {in} Jerusalem. in EC 01 16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all [they] that have been before me {in} Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. in EC 01 18 For {in} much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. in EC 02 01 I said {in} mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also [is] vanity. in EC 02 03 I sought {in} mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what [was] that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life. in EC 02 05 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees {in} them of all [kind of] fruits: in EC 02 07 I got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were {in} Jerusalem before me: in EC 02 07 I got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born {in} my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me: in EC 02 09 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me {in} Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. in EC 02 10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced {in} all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour. in EC 02 14 The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; but the fool walketh {in} darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. in EC 02 14 The wise man's eyes [are] {in} his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. in EC 02 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. in EC 02 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. in EC 02 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. in EC 02 21 For there is a man whose labour [is] {in} wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil. in EC 02 21 For there is a man whose labour [is] in wisdom, and {in} knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil. in EC 02 21 For there is a man whose labour [is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and {in} equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil. in EC 02 23 For all his days [are] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest {in} the night. This is also vanity. in EC 02 24 There is] nothing better for a man, [than] that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good {in} his labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God. in EC 02 26 For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good {in} his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. in EC 03 09 What profit hath he that worketh {in} that wherein he laboureth? in EC 03 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised {in} it. in EC 03 11 He hath made every [thing] beautiful {in} his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. in EC 03 11 He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world {in} their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. in EC 03 12 I know that [there is] no good in them, but for [a man] to rejoice, and to do good {in} his life. in EC 03 12 I know that [there is] no good {in} them, but for [a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life. in EC 03 17 I said {in} mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for [there is] a time there for every purpose and for every work. in EC 03 18 I said {in} mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. in EC 03 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? in EC 04 14 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also [he that is] born {in} his kingdom becometh poor. in EC 04 15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up {in} his stead. in EC 04 16 There is] no end of all the people, [even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice {in} him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. in EC 05 02 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] {in} heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. in EC 05 04 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for [he hath] no pleasure {in} fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. in EC 05 07 For {in} the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [divers] vanities: but fear thou God. in EC 05 08 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice {in} a province, marvel not at the matter: for [he that is] higher than the highest regardeth; and [there be] higher than they. in EC 05 14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and [there is] nothing {in} his hand. in EC 05 15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away {in} his hand. in EC 05 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? in EC 05 17 All his days also he eateth {in} darkness, and [he hath] much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. in EC 05 19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice {in} his labour; this [is] the gift of God. in EC 05 20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth [him] {in} the joy of his heart. in EC 06 04 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth {in} darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. in EC 06 04 For he cometh {in} with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. in EC 06 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? in EC 07 04 The heart of the wise [is] in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools [is] {in} the house of mirth. in EC 07 04 The heart of the wise [is] {in} the house of mourning; but the heart of fools [is] in the house of mirth. in EC 07 08 Better [is] the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: [and] the patient {in} spirit [is] better than the proud in spirit. in EC 07 08 Better [is] the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than the proud {in} spirit. in EC 07 09 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth {in} the bosom of fools. in EC 07 09 Be not hasty {in} thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. in EC 07 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but {in} the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. In EC 07 14 {In} the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. in EC 07 15 All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perisheth {in} his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness. in EC 07 15 All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] {in} his wickedness. in EC 07 15 All [things] have I seen {in} the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness. in EC 07 19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty [men] which are {in} the city. in EC 08 02 I [counsel thee] to keep the king's commandment, and [that] {in} regard of the oath of God. in EC 08 03 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not {in} an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. in EC 08 08 There is] no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither [hath he] power {in} the day of death: and [there is] no discharge in [that] war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. in EC 08 08 There is] no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither [hath he] power in the day of death: and [there is] no discharge {in} [that] war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. in EC 08 10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten {in} the city where they had so done: this [is] also vanity. in EC 08 11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set {in} them to do evil. in EC 09 01 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, [are] {in} the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred [by] all [that is] before them. in EC 09 01 For all this I considered {in} my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, [are] in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred [by] all [that is] before them. in EC 09 03 This [is] an evil among all [things] that are done under the sun, that [there is] one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness [is] {in} their heart while they live, and after that [they go] to the dead. in EC 09 06 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever {in} any [thing] that is done under the sun. in EC 09 09 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that [is] thy portion in [this] life, and {in} thy labour which thou takest under the sun. in EC 09 09 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that [is] thy portion {in} [this] life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. in EC 09 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, {in} the grave, whither thou goest. in EC 09 12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken {in} an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so [are] the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. in EC 09 12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so [are] the sons of men snared {in} an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. in EC 09 12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught {in} the snare; so [are] the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. in EC 09 15 Now there was found {in} it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. in EC 09 17 The words of wise [men are] heard {in} quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. in EC 10 01 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: [so doth] a little folly him that is {in} reputation for wisdom [and] honour. in EC 10 06 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit {in} low place. in EC 10 06 Folly is set {in} great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. in EC 10 16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and thy princes eat {in} the morning! in EC 10 17 Blessed [art] thou, O land, when thy king [is] the son of nobles, and thy princes eat {in} due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! in EC 10 20 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich {in} thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. in EC 10 20 Curse not the king, no not {in} thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. in EC 11 03 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty [themselves] upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, {in} the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. in EC 11 05 As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] {in} the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. in EC 11 06 In the morning sow thy seed, and {in} the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good. In EC 11 06 {In} the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good. in EC 11 08 But if a man live many years, [and] rejoice {in} them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh [is] vanity. in EC 11 09 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee {in} the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment. in EC 11 09 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and {in} the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment. in EC 11 09 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk {in} the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment. in EC 11 09 Rejoice, O young man, {in} thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment. in EC 12 01 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure {in} them; in EC 12 01 Remember now thy Creator {in} the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; In EC 12 03 {In} the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, in EC 12 04 And the doors shall be shut {in} the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; in EC 12 05 Also [when] they shall be afraid of [that which is] high, and fears [shall be] {in} the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: in EC 12 09 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, [and] set {in} order many proverbs. increase EC 05 10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with {increase}: this [is] also vanity. increase EC 05 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? increase EC 06 11 Seeing there be many things that {increase} vanity, what [is] man the better? increased EC 02 09 So I was great, and {increased} more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. increased EC 05 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? increaseth EC 01 18 For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge {increaseth} sorrow. increaseth EC 01 18 For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that {increaseth} knowledge increaseth sorrow. inheritance EC 07 11 Wisdom [is] good with an {inheritance}: and [by it there is] profit to them that see the sun. iniquity EC 03 16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, [that] wickedness [was] there; and the place of righteousness, [that] {iniquity} [was] there. inquire EC 07 10 Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not {inquire} wisely concerning this. instruments EC 02 08 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, [as] musical {instruments}, and that of all sorts. interpretation EC 08 01 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. into EC 01 07 All the rivers run {into} the sea; yet the sea [is] not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. into EC 10 08 He that diggeth a pit shall fall {into} it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. into EC 11 09 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will bring thee {into} judgment. into EC 12 14 For God shall bring every work {into} judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil. inventions EC 07 29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many {inventions}. iron EC 10 10 If the {iron} be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct. is EC 01 02 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all [{is}] vanity. is EC 01 07 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [{is}] not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. is EC 01 08 All things [are] full of labour; man cannot utter [it]: the eye {is} not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. is EC 01 09 The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [{is}] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun. is EC 01 09 The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which {is} done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun. is EC 01 09 The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there {is}] no new [thing] under the sun. is EC 01 09 The thing that hath been, it [{is} that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun. is EC 01 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. Is EC 01 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. is EC 01 11 There {is}] no remembrance of former [things]; neither shall there be [any] remembrance of [things] that are to come with [those] that shall come after. is EC 01 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all [{is}] vanity and vexation of spirit. is EC 01 15 That which is] crooked cannot be made straight: and that which {is} wanting cannot be numbered. is EC 01 15 That which {is}] crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. is EC 01 17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also {is} vexation of spirit. is EC 01 18 For in much wisdom [{is}] much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. is EC 02 01 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also [{is}] vanity. is EC 02 02 I said of laughter, [It {is}] mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? is EC 02 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. is EC 02 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. is EC 02 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. is EC 02 17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that {is} wrought under the sun [is] grievous unto me: for all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. is EC 02 17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun [is] grievous unto me: for all [{is}] vanity and vexation of spirit. is EC 02 17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun [{is}] grievous unto me: for all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. is EC 02 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. is EC 02 21 For there is a man whose labour [is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [{is}] vanity and a great evil. is EC 02 21 For there is a man whose labour [{is}] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil. is EC 02 21 For there {is} a man whose labour [is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil. is EC 02 23 For all his days [are] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This {is} also vanity. is EC 02 24 There {is}] nothing better for a man, [than] that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God. is EC 02 26 For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God. This also [{is}] vanity and vexation of spirit. is EC 02 26 For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that {is}] good before God.

yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all. is EC 07 20 For [there {is}] not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. is EC 07 24 That which {is} far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? is EC 07 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart [{is}] snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. is EC 08 01 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. is EC 08 04 Where the word of a king [is, there {is}] power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? is EC 08 04 Where the word of a king [{is}, there is] power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? is EC 08 06 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man [{is}] great upon him. is EC 08 06 Because to every purpose there {is} time and judgment, therefore the misery of man [is] great upon him. is EC 08 08 There is] no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit;

This also I saw, that {it} [was] from the hand of God. it EC 03 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in {it}. it EC 03 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, {it} [is] the gift of God. it EC 03 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to {it}, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth [it], that [men] should fear before him. it EC 03 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth [{it}], that [men] should fear before him. it EC 03 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from {it}: and God doeth [it], that [men] should fear before him. it EC 03 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, {it} shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth [it], that [men] should fear before him. it EC 04 08 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. it EC 05 04 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay {it}; for [he hath] no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. it EC 05 05 Better [is {it}] that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. it EC 05 06 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? it EC 05 18 Behold [that] which I have seen: [it is] good and comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for {it} [is] his portion. it EC 05 18 Behold [that] which I have seen: [{it} is] good and comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it [is] his portion. it EC 06 01 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and {it} [is] common among men: it EC 06 02 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth {it}: this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease. it EC 06 02 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this [is] vanity, and {it} [is] an evil disease. it EC 06 10 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that {it} [is] man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he. it EC 06 10 That which hath been is named already, and {it} is known that it [is] man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he. it EC 07 02 It is] better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that [is] the end of all men; and the living will lay [{it}] to his heart.
