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.

But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 committedH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764: for AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, tookH3947 of the accursed thingH2764: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the menH582 of AiH5857 smoteH5221 of them about thirtyH7970 and sixH8337 menH376: for they chasedH7291 them from beforeH6440 the gateH8179 even unto ShebarimH7671, and smoteH5221 them in the going downH4174: wherefore the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549, and became as waterH4325. {in…: or, in Morad}
IsraelH3478 hath sinnedH2398, and they have also transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285 which I commandedH6680 them: for they have even takenH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and have also stolenH1589, and dissembledH3584 also, and they have putH7760 it even among their own stuffH3627.
Therefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 couldH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, but turnedH6437 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, because they were accursedH2764: neither will I be with you any moreH3254, exceptH3808 ye destroyH8045 the accursedH2764 from amongH7130 you.
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
Then answeredH6030 oneH376 of the peopleH5971, and saidH559, Thy fatherH1 straitlyH7650 chargedH7650 the peopleH5971 with an oathH7650, sayingH559, CursedH779 be the manH376 that eatethH398 any foodH3899 this dayH3117. And the peopleH5971 were faintH5774. {faint: or, weary}
Then saidH559 JonathanH3129, My fatherH1 hath troubledH5916 the landH776: seeH7200, I pray you, how mine eyesH5869 have been enlightenedH215, because I tastedH2938 a littleH4592 of this honeyH1706.
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Let us go downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430 by nightH3915, and spoilH962 them until the morningH1242 lightH216, and let us not leaveH7604 a manH376 of them. And they saidH559, DoH6213 whatsoever seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto thee. Then saidH559 the priestH3548, Let us draw nearH7126 hitherH1988 unto GodH430.
And SaulH7586 askedH7592 counsel of GodH430, Shall I go downH3381 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430? wilt thou deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478? But he answeredH6030 him not that dayH3117.
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Draw ye nearH5066 hitherH1988, all the chiefH6438 of the peopleH5971: and knowH3045 and seeH7200 whereinH4100 this sinH2403 hath been this dayH3117. {chief: Heb. corners}
For, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, which savethH3467 IsraelH3478, though it beH3426 in JonathanH3129 my sonH1121, he shall surelyH4191 dieH4191. But there was not a man among all the peopleH5971 that answeredH6030 him.
Then saidH559 he unto all IsraelH3478, Be ye on oneH259 sideH5676, and I and JonathanH3129 my sonH1121 will be on the otherH259 sideH5676. And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, DoH6213 what seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto thee.
Therefore SaulH7586 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, GiveH3051 a perfectH8549 lot. And SaulH7586 and JonathanH3129 were takenH3920: but the peopleH5971 escapedH3318. {Give…: or, Shew the innocent} {escaped: Heb. went forth}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, CastH5307 lots between me and JonathanH3129 my sonH1121. And JonathanH3129 was takenH3920.
Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to JonathanH3129, TellH5046 me what thou hast doneH6213. And JonathanH3129 toldH5046 him, and saidH559, I did butH2938 tasteH2938 a littleH4592 honeyH1706 with the endH7097 of the rodH4294 that was in mine handH3027, and, loH2009, I must dieH4191.
And SaulH7586 answeredH559, GodH430 do soH6213 and more alsoH3254: for thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, JonathanH3129.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Shall JonathanH3129 dieH4191, who hath wroughtH6213 this greatH1419 salvationH3444 in IsraelH3478? God forbidH2486: as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, there shall not one hairH8185 of his headH7218 fallH5307 to the groundH776; for he hath wroughtH6213 with GodH430 this dayH3117. So the peopleH5971 rescuedH6299 JonathanH3129, that he diedH4191 not.
Then SaulH7586 went upH5927 from followingH310 the PhilistinesH6430: and the PhilistinesH6430 wentH1980 to their own placeH4725.
And there happenedH7122 to be there a manH376 of BelialH1100, whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH1145: and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and saidH559, We have no partH2506 in DavidH1732, neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: everyH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478.
So every manH376 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 from afterH310 DavidH1732, and followedH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075: but the menH376 of JudahH3063 claveH1692 unto their kingH4428, from JordanH3383 even to JerusalemH3389.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shallG601 that WickedG459 be revealedG601, whomG3739 the LordG2962 shall consumeG355 with the spiritG4151 of hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 shall destroyG2673 with the brightnessG2015 of hisG846 comingG3952:
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
AndG2532 withG1722 allG3956 deceivablenessG539 of unrighteousnessG93 inG1722 them that perishG622; becauseG473+G3739 they receivedG1209 notG3756 the loveG26 of the truthG225, thatG1519 theyG846 might be savedG4982.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 shunG4026 profaneG952 and vain babblingsG2757: forG1063 they will increaseG4298 untoG1909 moreG4119 ungodlinessG763.
AndG2532 theirG846 wordG3056 will eatG2192+G3542 asG5613 doth a cankerG1044: of whomG3739 isG2076 HymenaeusG5211 andG2532 PhiletusG5372; {canker: or, gangrene}
WhoG3748 concerningG4012 the truthG225 have erredG795, sayingG3004 that the resurrectionG386 is pastG1096 alreadyG2235; andG2532 overthrowG396 the faithG4102 of someG5100.
NowG1161 asG5158 JannesG2389 andG2532 JambresG2387 withstoodG436 MosesG3475, soG3779 doG436 theseG3778 alsoG2532 resistG436 the truthG225: menG444 of corruptG2704 mindsG3563, reprobateG96 concerningG4012 the faithG4102. {reprobate: or, of no judgment} {reprobate: or, of no judgment}
ForG1063 the timeG2540 will comeG2071 whenG3753 they willG430 notG3756 endureG430 soundG5198 doctrineG1319; butG235 afterG2596 their ownG2398 lustsG1939 shall they heapG2002 to themselvesG1438 teachersG1320, having itchingG2833 earsG189;
AndG2532 they shall turn awayG3303+G654 their earsG189 fromG575 the truthG225, andG1161 shall be turnedG1624 untoG1909 fablesG3454.
ForG1063 there areG1526 manyG4183 unrulyG506 andG2532 vain talkersG3151 andG2532 deceiversG5423, speciallyG3122 they ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061:
WhoseG3739 mouthsG1993 mustG1163 be stoppedG1993, whoG3748 subvertG396 wholeG3650 housesG3624, teachingG1321 things whichG3739 they oughtG1163 notG3361, forG5484 filthyG150 lucre'sG2771 sakeG5484.
