The wordsH1697 of the PreacherH6953, the sonH1121 of DavidH1732, kingH4428 in JerusalemH3389.
I the PreacherH6953 was kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 in JerusalemH3389.
VanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892, saithH559 the preacherH6953; all is vanityH1892.
And moreoverH3148, because the preacherH6953 was wiseH2450, he still taughtH3925 the peopleH5971 knowledgeH1847; yea, he gave good heedH239, and sought outH2713, and set in orderH8626 manyH7235 proverbsH4912. {moreover…: or, the more wise the preacher was, etc}
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.
I the PreacherH6953 was kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 in JerusalemH3389.
Let us hearH8085 the conclusionH5490 of the whole matterH1697: FearH3372 GodH430, and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687: for this is the whole duty of manH120. {Let…: or, The end of the matter, even all that hath been heard, is}
The wordsH1697 of the PreacherH6953, the sonH1121 of DavidH1732, kingH4428 in JerusalemH3389.
VanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892, saithH559 the PreacherH6953, vanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892; all is vanityH1892.
What profitH3504 hath a manH120 of all his labourH5999 which he takethH5998 under the sunH8121?
One generationH1755 passeth awayH1980, and another generationH1755 comethH935+H935: but the earthH776 abidethH5975 for everH5769.
The sunH8121 also arisethH2224, and the sunH8121 goeth downH935, and hastethH7602 to his placeH4725 where he aroseH2224. {hasteth: Heb. panteth}
The windH7307 goethH1980 toward the southH1864, and turneth aboutH5437 unto the northH6828; it whirleth about continuallyH1980, and the windH7307 returneth againH7725 according to his circuitsH5439.
All the riversH5158 runH1980 into the seaH3220; yet the seaH3220 is not fullH4392; unto the placeH4725 from whence the riversH5158 comeH1980, thither they returnH7725 againH3212. {return…: Heb. return to go}
All thingsH1697 are full of labourH3023; manH376 cannotH3201 utterH1696 it: the eyeH5869 is not satisfiedH7646 with seeingH7200, nor the earH241 filledH4390 with hearingH8085.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is doneH6213 is that which shall be doneH6213: and there is no newH2319 thing under the sunH8121.
Is thereH3426 any thingH1697 whereof it may be saidH559, SeeH7200, this is newH2319? it hath been alreadyH3528 of old timeH5769, which was beforeH6440 us.
There is no remembranceH2146 of formerH7223 things; neither shall there be any remembranceH2146 of things that are to comeH314 with those that shall come afterH314.
And moreoverH3148, because the preacherH6953 was wiseH2450, he still taughtH3925 the peopleH5971 knowledgeH1847; yea, he gave good heedH239, and sought outH2713, and set in orderH8626 manyH7235 proverbsH4912. {moreover…: or, the more wise the preacher was, etc}
The preacherH6953 soughtH1245 to find outH4672 acceptableH2656 wordsH1697: and that which was writtenH3789 was uprightH3476, even wordsH1697 of truthH571. {acceptable…: Heb. words of delight}
The wordsH1697 of the wiseH2450 are as goadsH1861, and as nailsH4930 fastenedH5193 by the mastersH1167 of assembliesH627, which are givenH5414 from oneH259 shepherdH7462.
And furtherH3148, by theseH1992, my sonH1121, be admonishedH2094: of makingH6213 manyH7235 booksH5612 there is no endH7093; and muchH7235 studyH3854 is a wearinessH3024 of the fleshH1320. {study: or, reading}
Let us hearH8085 the conclusionH5490 of the whole matterH1697: FearH3372 GodH430, and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687: for this is the whole duty of manH120. {Let…: or, The end of the matter, even all that hath been heard, is}
For GodH430 shall bringH935 every workH4639 into judgmentH4941, with every secret thingH5956, whether it be goodH2896, or whether it be evilH7451.
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.
CastH7971 thy breadH3899 uponH6440 the watersH4325: for thou shalt findH4672 it after manyH7230 daysH3117. {upon…: Heb. upon the face of the waters}
GiveH5414 a portionH2506 to sevenH7651, and also to eightH8083; for thou knowestH3045 not what evilH7451 shall be upon the earthH776.
If the cloudsH5645 be fullH4390 of rainH1653, they emptyH7324 themselves upon the earthH776: and if the treeH6086 fallH5307 toward the southH1864, or toward the northH6828, in the placeH4725 where the treeH6086 fallethH5307, there it shall beH1933.
He that observethH8104 the windH7307 shall not sowH2232; and he that regardethH7200 the cloudsH5645 shall not reapH7114.
As thou knowestH3045 not what is the wayH1870 of the spiritH7307, nor how the bonesH6106 do grow in the wombH990 of her that is with childH4392: even so thou knowestH3045 not the worksH4639 of GodH430 who makethH6213 all.
In the morningH1242 sowH2232 thy seedH2233, and in the eveningH6153 withholdH3240 not thine handH3027: for thou knowestH3045 not whetherH335 shall prosperH3787, either this or that, or whether they bothH8147 shall be alikeH259 goodH2896. {shall prosper: Heb. shall be right}
