ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
I the PreacherH6953 was kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 in JerusalemH3389.
And I gaveH5414 my heartH3820 to seekH1875 and search outH8446 by wisdomH2451 concerning all things that are doneH6213 under heavenH8064: this soreH7451 travailH6045 hath GodH430 givenH5414 to the sonsH1121 of manH120 to be exercisedH6031 therewith. {to be…: or, to afflict them}
I have seenH7200 all the worksH4639 that are doneH6213 under the sunH8121; and, behold, all is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307.
That which is crookedH5791 cannotH3201 be made straightH8626: and that which is wantingH2642 cannotH3201 be numberedH4487. {that which is wanting: Heb. defect}
I communedH1696 with mine own heartH3820, sayingH559, Lo, I am come to great estateH1431, and have gottenH3254 more wisdomH2451 than all they that have been beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389: yea, my heartH3820 had greatH7235 experienceH7200 of wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH1847. {had…: Heb. had seen much}
And I gaveH5414 my heartH3820 to knowH3045 wisdomH2451, and to knowH3045 madnessH1947 and follyH5531: I perceivedH3045 that thisH1571 also is vexationH7475 of spiritH7307.
For in muchH7230 wisdomH2451 is muchH7230 griefH3708: and he that increasethH3254 knowledgeH1847 increasethH3254 sorrowH4341.
I saidH559 in mine heartH3820, Go to nowH3212, I will proveH5254 thee with mirthH8057, therefore enjoyH7200 pleasureH2896: and, behold, this also is vanityH1892.
I saidH559 of laughterH7814, It is madH1984: and of mirthH8057, WhatH2090 doethH6213 it?
I soughtH8446 in mine heartH3820 to giveH4900 myselfH1320 unto wineH3196, yet acquaintingH5090 mine heartH3820 with wisdomH2451; and to lay holdH270 on follyH5531, till I might seeH7200 what was that goodH2896 for the sonsH1121 of menH120, which they should doH6213 under the heavenH8064 allH4557 the daysH3117 of their lifeH2416. {to give…: Heb. to draw my flesh with wine} {all…: Heb. the number of the days of their life}
I made me greatH1431 worksH4639; I buildedH1129 me housesH1004; I plantedH5193 me vineyardsH3754:
I madeH6213 me gardensH1593 and orchardsH6508, and I plantedH5193 treesH6086 in them of all kind of fruitsH6529:
I madeH6213 me poolsH1295 of waterH4325, to waterH8248 therewith the woodH3293 that bringeth forthH6779 treesH6086:
I gotH7069 me servantsH5650 and maidensH8198, and had servants bornH1121 in my houseH1004; also I had greatH7235 possessionsH4735 of greatH1241 and small cattleH6629 above all that were in JerusalemH3389 beforeH6440 me: {servants born…: Heb. sons of my house}
I gatheredH3664 me also silverH3701 and goldH2091, and the peculiar treasureH5459 of kingsH4428 and of the provincesH4082: I gatH6213 me men singersH7891 and women singersH7891, and the delightsH8588 of the sonsH1121 of menH120, as musical instrumentsH7705+H7705, and that of all sorts. {musical…: Heb. musical instrument and instruments}
So I was greatH1431, and increasedH3254 more than all that were beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389: also my wisdomH2451 remainedH5975 with me.
And whatsoever mine eyesH5869 desiredH7592 I keptH680 not from them, I withheldH4513 not my heartH3820 from any joyH8057; for my heartH3820 rejoicedH8056 in all my labourH5999: and this was my portionH2506 of all my labourH5999.
Then I lookedH6437 on all the worksH4639 that my handsH3027 had wroughtH6213, and on the labourH5999 that I had labouredH5998 to doH6213: and, behold, all was vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307, and there was no profitH3504 under the sunH8121.
For my peopleH5971 have committedH6213 twoH8147 evilsH7451; they have forsakenH5800 me the fountainH4726 of livingH2416 watersH4325, and hewed them outH2672 cisternsH877, brokenH7665 cisternsH877, that can holdH3557 no waterH4325.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; CursedH779 be the manH1397 that trustethH982 in manH120, and makethH7760 fleshH1320 his armH2220, and whose heartH3820 departethH5493 from the LORDH3068.
For he shall be like the heathH6199 in the desertH6160, and shall not seeH7200 when goodH2896 comethH935; but shall inhabitH7931 the parched placesH2788 in the wildernessH4057, in a saltH4420 landH776 and not inhabitedH3427.
BlessedH1288 is the manH1397 that trustethH982 in the LORDH3068, and whose hopeH4009 the LORDH3068 is.
For he shall be as a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the watersH4325, and that spreadeth outH7971 her rootsH8328 by the riverH3105, and shall not seeH7200 when heatH2527 comethH935, but her leafH5929 shall be greenH7488; and shall not be carefulH1672 in the yearH8141 of droughtH1226, neither shall ceaseH4185 from yieldingH6213 fruitH6529. {drought: or, restraint}
Oh how greatH7227 is thy goodnessH2898, which thou hast laid upH6845 for them that fearH3373 thee; which thou hast wroughtH6466 for them that trustH2620 in thee before the sonsH1121 of menH120!
ButG1161 myG3450 GodG2316 shall supplyG4137 allG3956 yourG5216 needG5532 according toG2596 hisG846 richesG4149 inG1722 gloryG1391 byG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
My soulH5315, waitH1826 thou only upon GodH430; for my expectationH8615 is from him.
He only is my rockH6697 and my salvationH3444: he is my defenceH4869; I shall not be movedH4131.
ThisG5124 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG5209 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG3371 asG2531+G2532 otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3563,
Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654, beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588: {blindness: or, hardness}
WhoG3748 being past feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 unto lasciviousnessG766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124.
Exhort servantsG1401 to be obedientG5293 unto their ownG2398 mastersG1203, and toG1511 please them wellG2101 inG1722 allG3956 things; notG3361 answering againG483; {answering…: or, gainsaying}
NotG3361 purloiningG3557, butG235 shewingG1731 allG3956 goodG18 fidelityG4102; thatG2443 they may adornG2885 the doctrineG1319 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
ServantsG1401, be obedientG5219 to them that are your mastersG2962 according toG2596 the fleshG4561, withG3326 fearG5401 andG2532 tremblingG5156, inG1722 singlenessG572 of yourG5216 heartG2588, asG5613 unto ChristG5547;
NotG3361 withG2596 eyeserviceG3787, asG5613 menpleasersG441; butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of ChristG5547, doingG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 fromG1537 the heartG5590;
WithG3326 good willG2133 doing serviceG1398, as to the LordG2962, andG2532 notG3756 to menG444:
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 whatsoeverG3739+G1437+G5100 good thingG18 any manG1538 doethG4160, the sameG5124 shall he receiveG2865 ofG3844 the LordG2962, whetherG1535 he be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658.
AndG2532 whatsoeverG3956+G3748+G1437 ye doG4160, doG2038 it heartilyG1537+G5590, asG5613 to the LordG2962, andG2532 notG3756 unto menG444;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 ofG575 the LordG2962 ye shall receiveG618 the rewardG469 of the inheritanceG2817: forG1063 ye serveG1398 the LordG2962 ChristG5547.
I beseechG3870 youG5209 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, byG1223 the merciesG3628 of GodG2316, that ye presentG3936 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptableG2101 unto GodG2316, which is yourG5216 reasonableG3050 serviceG2999.
Wherefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye scornfulH3944 menH582, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 which is in JerusalemH3389.
Because ye have saidH559, We have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with hellH7585 are weH6213 at agreementH2374; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752+H7885 shall pass throughH5674+H5674, it shall not comeH935 unto us: for we have madeH7760 liesH3577 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselves:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a triedH976 stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stone, a sureH3245 foundationH4143: he that believethH539 shall not make hasteH2363.
JudgmentH4941 also will I layH7760 to the lineH6957, and righteousnessH6666 to the plummetH4949: and the hailH1259 shall sweep awayH3261 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hiding placeH5643.
And your covenantH1285 with deathH4194 shall be disannulledH3722, and your agreementH2380 with hellH7585 shall not standH6965; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752 shall pass throughH5674, then ye shall be trodden downH4823 by it. {trodden…: Heb. a treading down to it}
From the timeH1767 that it goeth forthH5674 it shall takeH3947 you: for morningH1242 by morningH1242 shall it pass overH5674, by dayH3117 and by nightH3915: and it shall be a vexationH2113 only to understandH995 the reportH8052. {to…: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine}
For the bedH4702 is shorterH7114 than that a man can stretchH8311 himself on it: and the coveringH4541 narrowerH6887 than that he can wrapH3664 himself in it.
For the LORDH3068 shall rise upH6965 as in mountH2022 PerazimH6559, he shall be wrothH7264 as in the valleyH6010 of GibeonH1391, that he may doH6213 his workH4639, his strangeH2114 workH4639; and bring to passH5647 his actH5656, his strangeH5237 actH5656.
Now therefore be ye not mockersH3887, lest your bandsH4147 be made strongH2388: for I have heardH8085 from the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782 upon the whole earthH776.
