For all this I consideredH5414 in my heartH3820 even to declareH952 all this, that the righteousH6662, and the wiseH2450, and their worksH5652, are in the handH3027 of GodH430: no manH120 knowethH3045 eitherH1571 loveH160 or hatredH8135 by all that is beforeH6440 them. {I considered…: Heb. I gave, or, set to my heart}
All things come alike to all: there is oneH259 eventH4745 to the righteousH6662, and to the wickedH7563; to the goodH2896 and to the cleanH2889, and to the uncleanH2931; to him that sacrificethH2076, and to him thatH834 sacrificethH2076 not: as is the goodH2896, so is the sinnerH2398; and he that swearethH7650, as he that fearethH3373 an oathH7621.
This is an evilH7451 among all things that are doneH6213 under the sunH8121, that there is oneH259 eventH4745 unto all: yea, also the heartH3820 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 is fullH4390 of evilH7451, and madnessH1947 is in their heartH3824 while they liveH2416, and afterH310 that they go to the deadH4191.
ForH4310 to him that isH3426 joinedH2266+H977 to all the livingH2416 there is hopeH986: for a livingH2416 dogH3611 is betterH2896 than a deadH4191 lionH738.
For the livingH2416 knowH3045 that they shall dieH4191: but the deadH4191 knowH3045 not any thingH3972, neither have they any more a rewardH7939; for the memoryH2143 of them is forgottenH7911.
Also their loveH160, and their hatredH8135, and their envyH7068, is nowH3528 perishedH6; neither have they any more a portionH2506 for everH5769 in any thing that is doneH6213 under the sunH8121.
Go thy wayH3212, eatH398 thy breadH3899 with joyH8057, and drinkH8354 thy wineH3196 with a merryH2896 heartH3820; for GodH430 nowH3528 acceptethH7521 thy worksH4639.
Let thy garmentsH899 be alwaysH6256 whiteH3836; and let thy headH7218 lackH2637 no ointmentH8081.
LiveH2416 joyfullyH7200 with the wifeH802 whom thou lovestH157 all the daysH3117 of the lifeH2416 of thy vanityH1892, which he hath givenH5414 thee under the sunH8121, all the daysH3117 of thy vanityH1892: for that is thy portionH2506 in this lifeH2416, and in thy labourH5999 which thou takestH6001 under the sunH8121. {Live…: Heb. See, or, Enjoy life}
Whatsoever thy handH3027 findethH4672 to doH6213, doH6213 it with thy mightH3581; for there is no workH4639, nor deviceH2808, nor knowledgeH1847, nor wisdomH2451, in the graveH7585, whither thou goestH1980.
I returnedH7725, and sawH7200 under the sunH8121, that the raceH4793 is not to the swiftH7031, nor the battleH4421 to the strongH1368, neither yet breadH3899 to the wiseH2450, nor yet richesH6239 to men of understandingH995, nor yet favourH2580 to men of skillH3045; but timeH6256 and chanceH6294 happenethH7136 to them all.
For manH120 also knowethH3045 not his timeH6256: as the fishesH1709 that are takenH270 in an evilH7451 netH4685, and as the birdsH6833 that are caughtH270 in the snareH6341; soH1992 are the sonsH1121 of menH120 snaredH3369 in an evilH7451 timeH6256, when it fallethH5307 suddenlyH6597 upon them.
ThisH2090 wisdomH2451 have I seenH7200 also under the sunH8121, and it seemed greatH1419 unto me:
There was a littleH6996 cityH5892, and fewH4592 menH582 within it; and there cameH935 a greatH1419 kingH4428 against it, and besiegedH5437 it, and builtH1129 greatH1419 bulwarksH4685 against it:
Now there was foundH4672 in it a poorH4542 wiseH2450 manH376, and he by his wisdomH2451 deliveredH4422 the cityH5892; yet no manH120 rememberedH2142 that same poorH4542 manH376.
Then saidH559 I, WisdomH2451 is betterH2896 than strengthH1369: nevertheless the poor man'sH4542 wisdomH2451 is despisedH959, and his wordsH1697 are not heardH8085.
The wordsH1697 of wiseH2450 men are heardH8085 in quietH5183 more than the cryH2201 of him that rulethH4910 among foolsH3684.
WisdomH2451 is betterH2896 than weaponsH3627 of warH7128: but oneH259 sinnerH2398 destroyethH6 muchH7235 goodH2896.

Now therefore let PharaohH6547 look outH7200 a manH376 discreetH995 and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Let PharaohH6547 doH6213 this, and let him appointH6485 officersH6496 over the landH776, and take up the fifth partH2567 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteousH7647 yearsH8141. {officers: or, overseers}
And let them gatherH6908 all the foodH400 of those goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay upH6651 cornH1250 under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, and let them keepH8104 foodH400 in the citiesH5892.
And that foodH400 shall be for storeH6487 to the landH776 against the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which shall be in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perishH3772 not through the famineH7458. {perish…: Heb. be not cut off}
And the thingH1697 was goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of PharaohH6547, and in the eyesH5869 of all his servantsH5650.
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Can we findH4672 such a one as thisH2088 is, a manH376 in whomH834 the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 is?
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, ForasmuchH310 as GodH430 hath shewedH3045 thee all this, there is none so discreetH995 and wiseH2450 as thou art:
Thou shalt beH1961 over my houseH1004, and according unto thy wordH6310 shall all my peopleH5971 be ruledH5401: only in the throneH3678 will I be greaterH1431 than thou. {be ruled: Heb. be armed, or, kiss}
And SamuelH8050 spakeH559 unto all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, If ye do returnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 with all your heartsH3824, then put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 and AshtarothH6252 from amongH8432 you, and prepareH3559 your heartsH3824 unto the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him only: and he will deliverH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
Then the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did put awayH5493 BaalimH1168 and AshtarothH6252, and servedH5647 the LORDH3068 only.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, GatherH6908 all IsraelH3478 to MizpehH4708, and I will prayH6419 for you unto the LORDH3068.
And they gathered togetherH6908 to MizpehH4709, and drewH7579 waterH4325, and poured it outH8210 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and fastedH6684 on that dayH3117, and saidH559 there, We have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068. And SamuelH8050 judgedH8199 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in MizpehH4708.
He that rebukethH3198 a manH120 afterwardsH310 shall findH4672 more favourH2580 than he that flatterethH2505 with the tongueH3956.
He shall not cryH6817, nor lift upH5375, nor cause his voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 in the streetH2351.
He shall not failH3543 nor be discouragedH7533, till he have setH7760 judgmentH4941 in the earthH776: and the islesH339 shall waitH3176 for his lawH8451. {discouraged: Heb. broken}
