21~001|001 ECCLESIASTES` The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
21~001|001 KOHELET` The words of Kohelet, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
21~001|002 ECCLESIASTES` Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
21~001|002 KOHELET` Vanity of vanities, said Kohelet, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
21~001|003 ECCLESIASTES` What profit hath a man of all his labour which he takes under the sun?
21~001|003 KOHELET` What gains a man from all his labor at which he labors under the sun?
21~001|004 ECCLESIASTES` One generation passeth away, and another generation comes: but the earth stay for ever.
21~001|004 KOHELET` One generation passes away, and another generation comes; but the earth abides for ever.
21~001|005 ECCLESIASTES` The sun also arise, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
21~001|005 KOHELET` The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to its place where it rises again.
21~001|006 ECCLESIASTES` The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about to the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
21~001|006 KOHELET` The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north; it whirls around continually, and the wind returns again according to its circuits.
21~001|007 ECCLESIASTES` All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; to the place from where the rivers come, there they return again.
21~001|007 KOHELET` All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; to the place from where the rivers come, there they return again.
21~001|008 ECCLESIASTES` All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
21~001|008 KOHELET` All things are full of weariness; man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
21~001|009 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~001|009 KOHELET` That which has been, is what shall be; and that which has been done is what shall be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.
21~001|010 ECCLESIASTES` Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
21~001|010 KOHELET` Is there any thing about which it may be said, See, this is new? It has been already in the ages before us.
21~001|011 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~001|011 KOHELET` There is no remembrance of former things; nor shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those who shall come after.
21~001|012 ECCLESIASTES` I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
21~001|012 KOHELET` I Kohelet was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
21~001|013 ECCLESIASTES` And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God <fZfXa`-fPfR+p given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
21~001|013 KOHELET` And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven; it is a hard task that God has given to the sons of man to be exercised with.
21~001|014 ECCLESIASTES` I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
21~001|014 KOHELET` I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.
21~001|015 ECCLESIASTES` That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
21~001|015 KOHELET` That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
21~001|016 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~001|016 KOHELET` In my heart I said, Behold, I became a great man and acquired more wisdom than all those who have been before me in Jerusalem; and my heart has seen much of wisdom and knowledge.
21~001|017 ECCLESIASTES` And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
21~001|017 KOHELET` And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly; I perceived that this also was a striving after wind.
21~001|018 ECCLESIASTES` For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
21~001|018 KOHELET` For in much wisdom there is much grief; and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.
21~002|001 ECCLESIASTES` I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove you with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
21~002|001 KOHELET` I said in my heart, Come now, I will try you with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure; and, behold, this also is vanity.
21~002|002 ECCLESIASTES` I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
21~002|002 KOHELET` I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What does it achieve?
21~002|003 ECCLESIASTES` I sought in mine heart to give myself to 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.
21~002|003 KOHELET` I sought in my heart to give myself to wine, yet guiding my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
21~002|004 ECCLESIASTES` I made me great works; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards:
21~002|004 KOHELET` I made great works for myself; I built houses; I planted vineyards.
21~002|005 ECCLESIASTES` I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
21~002|005 KOHELET` I made gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruits.
21~002|006 ECCLESIASTES` I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that brings forth trees:
21~002|006 KOHELET` I made pools of water, to water with it a forest of growing trees.
21~002|007 ECCLESIASTES` 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:
21~002|007 KOHELET` I acquired servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me.
21~002|008 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~002|008 KOHELET` I gathered also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I acquired men singers and women singers, and, the delight of men, many women.
21~002|009 ECCLESIASTES` So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
21~002|009 KOHELET` And I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom remained with me.
21~002|010 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~002|010 KOHELET` And whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them, I did not restrain my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor; and this was my portion of all my labor.
21~002|011 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~002|011 KOHELET` Then I looked at all the works that my hands had done, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
21~002|012 ECCLESIASTES` And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that comes after the king? even that which hath been already done.
21~002|012 KOHELET` And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly; for what can a successor to the king do over that which has already been done.
21~002|013 ECCLESIASTES` Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth <fZfXa`-fPfR+p darkness.
21~002|013 KOHELET` Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
21~002|014 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~002|014 KOHELET` The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness; and I myself perceived also that one event happens to them all.
21~002|015 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~002|015 KOHELET` Then said I in my heart, As it happens to the fool, so it happens even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
21~002|016 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~002|016 KOHELET` 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. How the wise man dies, just like the fool!
21~002|017 ECCLESIASTES` Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous to me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
21~002|017 KOHELET` Therefore I hated life; because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and striving after wind.
21~002|018 ECCLESIASTES` You, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it to the man that shall be after me.
21~002|018 KOHELET` And I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun; because I should leave it to the man that shall be after me.
21~002|019 ECCLESIASTES` 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 shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
21~002|019 KOHELET` And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? Yet he shall have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have showed myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.
21~002|020 ECCLESIASTES` Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
21~002|020 KOHELET` Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labor which I took under the sun.
21~002|021 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~002|021 KOHELET` For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skill; yet to a man that has not labored in it shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
21~002|022 ECCLESIASTES` For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
21~002|022 KOHELET` For what has man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, in which he has labored under the sun?
21~002|023 ECCLESIASTES` For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart takes not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
21~002|023 KOHELET` For all his days are sorrows, and his labor grief; even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.
21~002|024 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~002|024 KOHELET` There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul find enjoyment in his labor. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
21~002|025 ECCLESIASTES` For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
21~002|025 KOHELET` For who can eat, or who can enjoy pleasure more than I?
21~002|026 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~002|026 KOHELET` For God gives wisdom, and knowledge, and joy, to the man who pleases Him, but to the sinner he gives the task to gather and amass, only to hand it to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and striving after wind.
21~003|001 ECCLESIASTES` To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
21~003|001 KOHELET` To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
21~003|002 ECCLESIASTES` A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
21~003|002 KOHELET` A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
21~003|003 ECCLESIASTES` A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
21~003|003 KOHELET` A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up.
21~003|004 ECCLESIASTES` A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
21~003|004 KOHELET` A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
21~003|005 ECCLESIASTES` A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
21~003|005 KOHELET` A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.
21~003|006 ECCLESIASTES` A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
21~003|006 KOHELET` A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
21~003|007 ECCLESIASTES` A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
21~003|007 KOHELET` A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
21~003|008 ECCLESIASTES` A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
21~003|008 KOHELET` A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
21~003|009 ECCLESIASTES` What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
21~003|009 KOHELET` What gains has he who works in that in which he labors?
21~003|010 ECCLESIASTES` I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
21~003|010 KOHELET` I have seen the occupation which God has given men to be concerned with.
21~003|011 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~003|011 KOHELET` He has made every thing beautiful in his time; also he has set the mystery of the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work which God has made from the beginning to the end.
21~003|012 ECCLESIASTES` I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
21~003|012 KOHELET` I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good in their life.
21~003|013 ECCLESIASTES` And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
21~003|013 KOHELET` And also that it is the gift of God that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor.
21~003|014 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~003|014 KOHELET` I know that, whatever God does, it shall be for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it; and God does it, that men should fear before him.
21~003|015 ECCLESIASTES` That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
21~003|015 KOHELET` That which is, already has been; and that which is to be has already been; and God seeks what has been driven away.
21~003|016 ECCLESIASTES` And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
21~003|016 KOHELET` And moreover I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment wickedness was there; and that in the place of righteousness, iniquity was there.
21~003|017 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~003|017 KOHELET` I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
21~003|018 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~003|018 KOHELET` I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God is testing them, that they might see that they are but beasts.
21~003|019 ECCLESIASTES` For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
21~003|019 KOHELET` For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; one thing befalls them both; as the one dies, so dies the other. They have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence over a beast; for all is vanity.
21~003|020 ECCLESIASTES` All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21~003|020 KOHELET` All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21~003|021 ECCLESIASTES` Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
21~003|021 KOHELET` Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward, and the spirit of the beast goes downward to the earth?
21~003|022 ECCLESIASTES` 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?
21~003|022 KOHELET` So I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his work; for that is his portion; who can bring him to see what shall be after him?
21~004|001 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~004|001 KOHELET` 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.
21~004|002 ECCLESIASTES` Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
21~004|002 KOHELET` So I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still alive.
21~004|003 ECCLESIASTES` You, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
21~004|003 KOHELET` And better than both of them is he who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
21~004|004 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~004|004 KOHELET` And I saw that all labor, and every skill in work, come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and striving after wind.
21~004|005 ECCLESIASTES` The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
21~004|005 KOHELET` The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.
21~004|006 ECCLESIASTES` Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
21~004|006 KOHELET` Better is a handful with quietness, than both hands full of labor and striving after wind.
21~004|007 ECCLESIASTES` Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
21~004|007 KOHELET` Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
21~004|008 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~004|008 KOHELET` There is a man alone, without a companion; he neither has son nor brother; yet there is no end of all his labor; nor is his eye satisfied with riches. He may say, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This also is vanity, indeed it is a bad business.
21~004|009 ECCLESIASTES` Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
21~004|009 KOHELET` Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
21~004|010 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~004|010 KOHELET` For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has not another to help him up.
21~004|011 ECCLESIASTES` Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
21~004|011 KOHELET` Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?
21~004|012 ECCLESIASTES` And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
21~004|012 KOHELET` And though a man might attack, two shall withstand him; a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
21~004|013 ECCLESIASTES` Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
21~004|013 KOHELET` Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who no longer knows how to take care of himself.
21~004|014 ECCLESIASTES` For out of prison he comes to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom become poor.
21~004|014 KOHELET` For out of prison he comes to reign; or in his own kingdom had become poor.
21~004|015 ECCLESIASTES` I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
21~004|015 KOHELET` I saw all the living who walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
21~004|016 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~004|016 KOHELET` There is no end of all the people, even of all who have been before them; yet they who come after shall not rejoice in him. This also is vanity and striving after wind.
21~004|017 KOHELET` Guard your foot when you go to the house of God; to get near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools; for they consider not that they do evil.
21~005|001 ECCLESIASTES` Keep thy foot when you goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
21~005|001 KOHELET` Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter any thing before God; for God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few.
21~005|002 ECCLESIASTES` Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not yours heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and you upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
21~005|002 KOHELET` For a dream comes through a multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by a multitude of words.
21~005|003 ECCLESIASTES` For a dream comes through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
21~005|003 KOHELET` When you vow a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools; pay what you have vowed.
21~005|004 ECCLESIASTES` When you vowest a vow to God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which you hast vowed.

21~008|014 ECCLESIASTES` There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, to 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.
21~008|014 KOHELET` There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are just men, to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked; again, there are wicked men, to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous; I said that this also is vanity.
21~008|015 ECCLESIASTES` 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 stay with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
21~008|015 KOHELET` And I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry; for this will go with him in his labor during the days of his life, which God gives him under the sun.
21~008|016 ECCLESIASTES` 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 sees sleep with his eyes:)
21~008|016 KOHELET` When I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth; for neither by day nor by night one's eyes see sleep.
21~008|017 ECCLESIASTES` 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 further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
21~008|017 KOHELET` And I saw all the work of God, for a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun; because though a man would labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; and also if a wise man claims to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
21~009|001 ECCLESIASTES` 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.
21~009|001 KOHELET` For all this I laid to my heart, and sought to clarify all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their deeds, are in the hand of God; no man knows whether it is love or hatred; all is before them.
21~009|002 ECCLESIASTES` All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that swears, as he that feareth an oath.
21~009|002 KOHELET` All things come alike to all; there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the pure, and to the impure; to him who sacrifices, and to him who does not sacrifice; as is the good man, so is the sinner; and he who swears as he who shuns an oath.
21~009|003 ECCLESIASTES` This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event to 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.
21~009|003 KOHELET` This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event to all; 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.

21~009|004 KOHELET` For to him who is joined to all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
21~009|005 ECCLESIASTES` For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
21~009|005 KOHELET` For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know nothing, nor do they have a reward any more; for the memory of them is forgotten.

21~009|006 KOHELET` Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; nor have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

21~009|007 KOHELET` Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.

21~009|009 ECCLESIASTES` Live joyfully with the wife whom you lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given you under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which you takes under the sun.
21~009|009 KOHELET` Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of the life of your vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all the days of your vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.
