A good nameH8034 is betterH2896 than preciousH2896 ointmentH8081; and the dayH3117 of deathH4194 than the dayH3117 of one's birthH3205.
It is betterH2896 to goH3212 to the houseH1004 of mourningH60, than to goH3212 to the houseH1004 of feastingH4960: forH834 that is the endH5490 of all menH120; and the livingH2416 will layH5414 it to his heartH3820.
SorrowH3708 is betterH2896 than laughterH7814: for by the sadnessH7455 of the countenanceH6440 the heartH3820 is made betterH3190. {Sorrow: or, Anger}
The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 is in the houseH1004 of mourningH60; but the heartH3820 of foolsH3684 is in the houseH1004 of mirthH8057.
It is betterH2896 to hearH8085 the rebukeH1606 of the wiseH2450, than for a manH376 to hearH8085 the songH7892 of foolsH3684.
For as the cracklingH6963 of thornsH5518 under a potH5518, so is the laughterH7814 of the foolH3684: this also is vanityH1892. {crackling: Heb. sound}
Surely oppressionH6233 maketh a wise manH2450 madH1984; and a giftH4979 destroyethH6 the heartH3820.
BetterH2896 is the endH319 of a thingH1697 than the beginningH7225 thereof: and the patientH750 in spiritH7307 is betterH2896 than the proudH1362 in spiritH7307.
Be not hastyH926 in thy spiritH7307 to be angryH3707: for angerH3708 restethH5117 in the bosomH2436 of foolsH3684.
SayH559 not thou, What is the cause that the formerH7223 daysH3117 were betterH2896 than these? for thou dost not enquireH7592 wiselyH2451 concerning this. {wisely: Heb. out of wisdom}
WisdomH2451 is goodH2896 with an inheritanceH5159: and by it there is profitH3148 to them that seeH7200 the sunH8121. {good…: or, as good as an inheritance, yea, better too}
For wisdomH2451 is a defenceH6738, and moneyH3701 is a defenceH6738: but the excellencyH3504 of knowledgeH1847 is, that wisdomH2451 giveth lifeH2421 to them that haveH1167 it. {defence: Heb. shadow}
ConsiderH7200 the workH4639 of GodH430: for who canH3201 make that straightH8626, which he hath made crookedH5791?
In the dayH3117 of prosperityH2896 be joyfulH2896, but in the dayH3117 of adversityH7451 considerH7200: GodH430 also hath setH6213 the one over againstH5980 the other, to the endH1700 that manH120 should findH4672 nothingH3972 afterH310 him. {set: Heb. made}
All things have I seenH7200 in the daysH3117 of my vanityH1892: there isH3426 a justH6662 man that perishethH6 in his righteousnessH6664, and there is a wickedH7563 man that prolongethH748 his life in his wickednessH7451.
Be not righteousH6662 over muchH7235; neither make thyself overH3148 wiseH2449: why shouldest thou destroyH8074 thyself? {destroy…: Heb. be desolate?}
Be not over muchH7235 wickedH7561, neither be thou foolishH5530: why shouldest thou dieH4191 before thy timeH6256? {before…: Heb. not in thy time?}
It is goodH2896 that thou shouldest take holdH270 of this; yea, also from thisH2088 withdrawH3240 not thine handH3027: for he that fearethH3373 GodH430 shall come forthH3318 of them all.
WisdomH2451 strengthenethH5810 the wiseH2450 more than tenH6235 mightyH7989 men which are in the cityH5892.
For there is not a justH6662 manH120 upon earthH776, that doethH6213 goodH2896, and sinnethH2398 not.
Also takeH5414 no heedH3820 unto all wordsH1697 that are spokenH1696; lest thou hearH8085 thy servantH5650 curseH7043 thee: {take…: Heb. give not thine heart}
For oftentimesH6471+H7227 also thine own heartH3820 knowethH3045 that thou thyself likewise hast cursedH7043 othersH312.
All thisH2090 have I provedH5254 by wisdomH2451: I saidH559, I will be wiseH2449; but it was farH7350 from me.
That which is far offH7350, and exceeding deepH6013, who can find it outH4672?
I appliedH5437 mine heartH3820 to knowH3045, and to searchH8446, and to seek outH1245 wisdomH2451, and the reasonH2808 of things, and to knowH3045 the wickednessH7562 of follyH3689, even of foolishnessH5531 and madnessH1947: {I applied…: Heb. I and mine heart compassed}
And I findH4672 more bitterH4751 than deathH4194 the womanH802, whose heartH3820 is snaresH4685 and netsH2764, and her handsH3027 as bandsH612: whoso pleasethH2896+H6440 GodH430 shall escapeH4422 from her; but the sinnerH2398 shall be takenH3920 by her. {whoso…: Heb. he that is good before God}
BeholdH7200, this have I foundH4672, saithH559 the preacherH6953, counting oneH259 by oneH259, to find outH4672 the accountH2808: {counting…: or, weighing one thing after another, to find out the reason}
Which yet my soulH5315 seekethH1245, but I findH4672 not: oneH259 manH120 among a thousandH505 have I foundH4672; but a womanH802 among all those have I not foundH4672.
LoH7200, this onlyH905 have I foundH4672, that GodH430 hath madeH6213 manH120 uprightH3477; but they have sought outH1245 manyH7227 inventionsH2810.

Wherefore the kingH4428 saidH559 unto me, Why is thy countenanceH6440 sadH7451, seeing thou art not sickH2470? this is nothing else but sorrowH7455 of heartH3820. Then I was veryH3966 soreH7235 afraidH3372,
And saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Let the kingH4428 liveH2421 for everH5769: why should not my countenanceH6440 be sadH3415, when the cityH5892, the placeH1004 of my fathers'H1 sepulchresH6913, lieth wasteH2720, and the gatesH8179 thereof are consumedH398 with fireH784?
Then the kingH4428 saidH559 unto me, For what dost thou make requestH1245? So I prayedH6419 to the GodH430 of heavenH8064.
And I saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, and if thy servantH5650 have found favourH3190 in thy sightH6440, that thou wouldest sendH7971 me unto JudahH3063, unto the cityH5892 of my fathers'H1 sepulchresH6913, that I may buildH1129 it.
And AbigailH26 cameH935 to NabalH5037; and, behold, he held a feastH4960 in his houseH1004, like the feastH4960 of a kingH4428; and Nabal'sH5037 heartH3820 was merryH2896 within him, for he was veryH3966 drunkenH7910: wherefore she toldH5046 him nothingH1697, lessH6996 or moreH1419, until the morningH1242 lightH216.
He is despisedH959 and rejectedH2310 of menH376; a manH376 of sorrowsH4341, and acquaintedH3045 with griefH2483: and we hid as it wereH4564 our facesH6440 from him; he was despisedH959, and we esteemedH2803 him not. {we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us}
And when he had brought him downH3381, behold, they were spread abroadH5203 upon allH6440 the earthH776, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and dancingH2287, because of all the greatH1419 spoilH7998 that they had takenH3947 out of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and out of the landH776 of JudahH3063.
SurelyH403 he hath borneH5375 our griefsH2483, and carriedH5445 our sorrowsH4341: yet we did esteemH2803 him strickenH5060, smittenH5221 of GodH430, and afflictedH6031.
Now AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, MarkH7200 ye now when Amnon'sH550 heartH3820 is merryH2896 with wineH3196, and when I sayH559 unto you, SmiteH5221 AmnonH550; then killH4191 him, fearH3372 not: have not I commandedH6680 you? be courageousH2388, and be valiantH1121+H2428. {have…: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?} {valiant: Heb. sons of valour}
AndG2532 when JesusG2424 was comeG2064 intoG1519 Peter'sG4074 houseG3614, he sawG1492 hisG846 wife's motherG3994 laidG906, andG2532 sick of a feverG4445.
AndG2532 he touchedG680 herG846 handG5495, andG2532 the feverG4446 leftG863 herG846: andG2532 she aroseG1453, andG2532 ministeredG1247 unto themG846.
WhenG1161 the evenG3798 was comeG1096, they broughtG4374 unto himG846 manyG4183 that were possessed with devilsG1139: andG2532 he cast outG1544 the spiritsG4151 with his wordG3056, andG2532 healedG2323 allG3956 that wereG2192 sickG2560:
And they went outH3318 at noonH6672. But BenhadadH1130 was drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the pavilionsH5521, he and the kingsH4428, the thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 kingsH4428 that helpedH5826 him.
AndG2532 he comethG2064 toG1519 the houseG3624 of the ruler of the synagogueG752, andG2532 seethG2334 the tumultG2351, and them that weptG2799 andG2532 wailedG214 greatlyG4183.
AndG2532 when he was come inG1525, he saithG3004 unto themG846, WhyG5101 make ye this adoG2350, andG2532 weepG2799? the damselG3813 isG599 notG3756 deadG599, butG235 sleepethG2518.
AndG2532 they laughedG2606 himG846 to scornG2606. ButG1161 when he had putG1544 them allG537 outG1544, he takethG3880 the fatherG3962 andG2532 the motherG3384 of the damselG3813, andG2532 them that were withG3326 himG846, andG2532 entereth inG1531 whereG3699 the damselG3813 wasG2258 lyingG345.
AndG2532 he tookG2902 the damselG3813 by the handG5495, and saidG3004 unto herG846, TalithaG5008 cumiG2891; whichG3739 isG2076, being interpretedG3177, DamselG2877, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ariseG1453.
AndG2532 straightwayG2112 the damselG2877 aroseG450, andG2532 walkedG4043; forG1063 she wasG2258 of the age of twelveG1427 yearsG2094. AndG2532 they were astonishedG1839 with a greatG3173 astonishmentG1611.
AndG2532 he chargedG1291 themG846 straitlyG4183 thatG2443 no manG3367 should knowG1097 itG5124; andG2532 commandedG2036 that something should be givenG1325 herG846 to eatG5315.
My heartH3824 pantedH8582, fearfulnessH6427 affrightedH1204 me: the nightH5399 of my pleasureH2837 hath he turnedH7760 into fearH2731 unto me. {heart…: or, mind wandered} {turned: Heb. put}
NowG1161 whenG5613 he came nighG1448 to the gateG4439 of the cityG4172, beholdG2532+G2400, there wasG1580 a dead manG2348 carried outG1580, the onlyG3439 sonG5207 of hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 sheG846 wasG2258 a widowG5503: andG2532 muchG2425 peopleG3793 of the cityG4172 wasG2258 withG4862 herG846.
In their heatH2527 I will makeH7896 their feastsH4960, and I will make them drunkenH7937, that they may rejoiceH5937, and sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
AndG2532 when the LordG2962 sawG1492 herG846, he had compassionG4697 onG1909 herG846, andG2532 saidG2036 unto herG846, WeepG2799 notG3361.
And I will make drunkH7937 her princesH8269, and her wiseH2450 men, her captainsH6346, and her rulersH5461, and her mighty menH1368: and they shall sleepH3462 a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The JewsG2453 thenG3767 whichG3588 wereG5607 withG3326 herG846 inG1722 the houseG3614, andG2532 comfortedG3888 herG846, when they sawG1492 MaryG3137, thatG3754 she rose upG450 hastilyG5030 andG2532 went outG1831, followedG190 herG846, sayingG3004+G3754, She goethG5217 untoG1519 the graveG3419 toG2443 weepG2799 thereG1563.
ThenG3767 whenG5613 MaryG3137 was comeG2064 whereG3699 JesusG2424 wasG2258, and sawG1492 himG846, she fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG4228, sayingG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, ifG1487 thou hadst beenG2258 hereG5602, myG3450 brotherG80 hadG302 notG3756 diedG599.
WhenG5613 JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 sawG1492 herG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 the JewsG2453 also weepingG2799 which cameG4905 with herG846, he groanedG1690 in the spiritG4151, andG2532 was troubledG5015+G1438, {was troubled: Gr. he troubled himself}
AndG2532 saidG2036, WhereG4226 have ye laidG5087 himG846? They saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, comeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492.
BelshazzarH1113 the kingH4430 madeH5648 a greatH7229 feastH3900 to a thousandH506 of his lordsH7261, and drankH8355 wineH2562 beforeH6903 the thousandH506.
BelshazzarH1113, whiles he tastedH2942 the wineH2562, commandedH560 to bringH858 the goldenH1722 and silverH3702 vesselsH3984 which his fatherH2 NebuchadnezzarH5020 had takenH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 which was in JerusalemH3390; that the kingH4430, and his princesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904, might drinkH8355 therein. {father: or, grandfather} {taken: Cald. brought forth}
ThenH116 they broughtH858 the goldenH1722 vesselsH3984 that were takenH5312 out ofH4481 the templeH1965 of the houseH1005 of GodH426 which was at JerusalemH3390; and the kingH4430, and his princesH7261, his wivesH7695, and his concubinesH3904, drankH8355 in them.
They drankH8355 wineH2562, and praisedH7624 the godsH426 of goldH1722, and of silverH3702, of brassH5174, of ironH6523, of woodH636, and of stoneH69.
In the dayH3117 of our kingH4428 the princesH8269 have made him sickH2470 with bottlesH2534 of wineH3196; he stretched outH4900 his handH3027 with scornersH3945. {bottles…: or, heat through wine}
For while they be folden togetherH5440 as thornsH5518, and while they are drunkenH5433 as drunkardsH5435, they shall be devouredH398 as stubbleH7179 fullyH4392 dryH3002.
AndG2532 when a convenientG2121 dayG2250 was comeG1096, thatG3753 HerodG2264 on hisG846 birthdayG1077 madeG4160 a supperG1173 to hisG846 lordsG3175+G2532, high captainsG5506, andG2532 chiefG4413 estates of GalileeG1056;
AndG2532 when the daughterG2364 of the saidG846 HerodiasG2266 came inG1525, andG2532 dancedG3738, andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG2264 andG2532 them that sat with himG4873, the kingG935 saidG2036 unto the damselG2877, AskG154 of meG3165 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou wiltG2309, andG2532 I will giveG1325 it theeG4671.
AndG2532 he swareG3660 unto herG846, WhatsoeverG3754+G3739+G1437 thou shalt askG154 of meG3165, I will giveG1325 it theeG4671, untoG2193 the halfG2255 of myG3450 kingdomG932.
AndG1161 she went forthG1831, and saidG2036 unto herG846 motherG3384, WhatG5101 shall I askG154? AndG1161 she saidG2036, The headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.
AndG2532 she came inG1525 straightwayG2112 withG3326 hasteG4710 untoG4314 the kingG935, and askedG154, sayingG3004, I willG2309 thatG2443 thou giveG1325 meG3427 by and byG1824 inG1909 a chargerG4094 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.
AndG2532 the kingG935 wasG1096 exceeding sorryG4036; yet forG1223 his oath's sakeG3727, andG2532 for their sakes whichG3588 sat with himG4873, he wouldG2309 notG3756 rejectG114 herG846.
AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 the kingG935 sentG649 an executionerG4688, and commandedG2004 hisG846 headG2776 to be broughtG5342: andG1161 he wentG565 and beheadedG607 himG846 inG1722 the prisonG5438, {an…: or, one of his guard}
AndG2532 broughtG5342 hisG846 headG2776 inG1909 a chargerG4094, andG2532 gaveG1325 itG846 to the damselG2877: andG2532 the damselG2877 gaveG1325 itG846 to herG846 motherG3384.
AndG2532 when hisG846 disciplesG3101 heardG191 of it, they cameG2064 andG2532 took upG142 hisG846 corpseG4430, andG2532 laidG5087 itG846 inG1722 a tombG3419.
