There is nothing betterH2896 for a manH120, than that he should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and that he should make his soulH5315 enjoyH7200 goodH2896 in his labourH5999. ThisH2090 also I sawH7200, that it was from the handH3027 of GodH430. {should make…: or, delight his senses}
For who can eatH398, or who else can hastenH2363 hereunto, moreH2351 than I?
For God givethH5414 to a manH120 that is goodH2896 in his sightH6440 wisdomH2451, and knowledgeH1847, and joyH8057: but to the sinnerH2398 he givethH5414 travailH6045, to gatherH622 and to heap upH3664, that he may giveH5414 to him that is goodH2896 beforeH6440 GodH430. This also is vanityH1892 and vexationH7469 of spiritH7307. {in his…: Heb. before him}
IfG1487 after the mannerG2596 of menG444 I have fought with beastsG2341 atG1722 EphesusG2181, whatG5101 advantageth itG3786 meG3427, ifG1487 the deadG3498 riseG1453 notG3756? let us eatG5315 andG2532 drinkG4095; forG1063 to morrowG839 we dieG599. {after…: or, to speak after the manner of men}
AndG1161 he spakeG2036 a parableG3850 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, The groundG5561 of a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444 brought forth plentifullyG2164:
AndG2532 he thoughtG1260 withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, becauseG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 room whereG4226 to bestowG4863 myG3450 fruitsG2590?
AndG2532 he saidG2036, ThisG5124 will I doG4160: I will pull downG2507 myG3450 barnsG596, andG2532 buildG3618 greaterG3187; andG2532 thereG1563 will I bestowG4863 allG3956 myG3450 fruitsG1081 andG2532 myG3450 goodsG18.
AndG2532 I will sayG2046 to myG3450 soulG5590, SoulG5590, thou hastG2192 muchG4183 goodsG18 laid upG2749 forG1519 manyG4183 yearsG2094; take thine easeG373, eatG5315, drinkG4095, and be merryG2165.
ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou foolG878, thisG5026 nightG3571 thyG4675 soulG5590 shall be requiredG523 ofG575 theeG4675: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shall those things beG2071, whichG3739 thou hast providedG2090? {thy…: Gr. do they require thy soul}
SoG3779 is he that layeth up treasureG2343 for himselfG1438, andG2532 isG4147 notG3361 richG4147 towardG1519 GodG2316.
I knowH3045 that there is no goodH2896 in them, but for a man to rejoiceH8055, and to doH6213 goodH2896 in his lifeH2416.
Wherefore I perceiveH7200 that there is nothing betterH2896, than that a manH120 should rejoiceH8055 in his own worksH4639; for that is his portionH2506: for who shall bringH935 him to seeH7200 what shall be afterH310 him?
Then I commendedH7623 mirthH8057, because a manH120 hath no better thingH2896 under the sunH8121, than to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to be merryH8055: for that shall abideH3867 with him of his labourH5999 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, which GodH430 givethH5414 him under the sunH8121.
ChargeG3853 them that are richG4145 inG1722 thisG3568 worldG165, that they beG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, norG3366 trustG1679 inG1909 uncertainG83 richesG4149, butG235 inG1722 the livingG2198 GodG2316, whoG3588 givethG3930 usG2254 richlyG4146 all thingsG3956 toG1519 enjoyG619; {uncertain…: Gr. uncertainty of riches}
That they do goodG14, that they be richG4147 inG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041, ready to distributeG1511+G2130, willing to communicateG2843; {willing…: or, sociable}
Laying up in storeG597 for themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 foundationG2310 againstG1519 the time to comeG3195, thatG2443 they may lay hold onG1949 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
But hast lifted upH7313 thyself againstH5922 the LordH4756 of heavenH8065; and they have broughtH858 the vesselsH3984 of his houseH1005 beforeH6925 thee, and thouH607, and thy lordsH7261, thy wivesH7695, and thy concubinesH3904, have drunkH8355 wineH2562 in them; and thou hast praisedH7624 the godsH426 of silverH3702, and goldH1722, of brassH5174, ironH6523, woodH636, and stoneH69, which seeH2370 notH3809, norH3809 hearH8086, norH3809 knowH3046: and the GodH426 in whose handH3028 thy breathH5396 is, and whose are allH3606 thy waysH735, hast thou notH3809 glorifiedH1922:
A goodH2896 man leaveth an inheritanceH5157 to his children'sH1121 childrenH1121: and the wealthH2428 of the sinnerH2398 is laid upH6845 for the justH6662.
He that by usuryH5392 and unjust gainH8636 increasethH7235 his substanceH1952, he shall gatherH6908 it for him that will pityH2603 the poorH1800. {unjust…: Heb. by increase}
BlessedG3107 are the meekG4239: forG3754 theyG846 shall inheritG2816 the earthG1093.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto them that stood byG3936, TakeG142 fromG575 himG846 the poundG3414, andG2532 giveG1325 it to him that hathG2192 tenG1176 poundsG3414.
And I will giveH5414 this peopleH5971 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of the EgyptiansH4714: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye goH3212, ye shall not goH3212 emptyH7387:
But every womanH802 shall borrowH7592 of her neighbourH7934, and of her that sojournethH1481 in her houseH1004, jewelsH3627 of silverH3701, and jewelsH3627 of goldH2091, and raimentH8071: and ye shall putH7760 them upon your sonsH1121, and upon your daughtersH1323; and ye shall spoilH5337 the EgyptiansH4714. {the Egyptians: or, Egypt}
And the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 the peopleH5971 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of the EgyptiansH4714, so that they lentH7592 unto them such things as they required. And they spoiledH5337 the EgyptiansH4714.
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}
There is nothing betterH2896 for a manH120, than that he should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and that he should make his soulH5315 enjoyH7200 goodH2896 in his labourH5999. ThisH2090 also I sawH7200, that it was from the handH3027 of GodH430. {should make…: or, delight his senses}
