For all this I considered [5414] in my heart [3820] even to declare [0952] all this, that the righteous, [6662] and the wise, [2450] and their works, [5652] [are] in the hand [3027] of God: [0430] no man [0120] knoweth [3045] either [1571] love [0160] or [1571] hatred [8135] [by] all [that is] before [6440] them.
2
All [things come] alike [0834] to all: [there is] one [0259] event [4745] to the righteous, [6662] and to the wicked; [7563] to the good [2896] and to the clean, [2889] and to the unclean; [2931] to him that sacrificeth, [2076] and to him that sacrificeth [2076] not: as [is] the good, [2896] so [is] the sinner; [2398] [and] he that sweareth, [7650] as [he] that feareth [3373] an oath. [7621]
3
This [is] an evil [7451] among all [things] that are done [6213] under the sun, [8121] that [there is] one [0259] event [4745] unto all: yea, also the heart [3820] of the sons [1121] of men [0120] is full [4390] of evil, [7451] and madness [1947] [is] in their heart [3824] while they live, [2416] and after [0310] that [they go] to the dead. [4191]
4
For to him [4310] that is joined [2266] to all the living [2416] there is [3426] hope: [0986] for a living [2416] dog [3611] is better [2896] than a dead [4191] lion. [0738]
5
For the living [2416] know [3045] that they shall die: [4191] but the dead [4191] know [3045] not any thing, [3972] neither have they any more a reward; [7939] for the memory [2143] of them is forgotten. [7911]
6
Also their love, [0160] and their hatred, [8135] and their envy, [7068] is now [3528] perished; [0006] neither have they any more a portion [2506] for ever [5769] in any [thing] that is done [6213] under the sun. [8121]
7
Go thy way, [3212] eat [0398] thy bread [3899] with joy, [8057] and drink [8354] thy wine [3196] with a merry [2896] heart; [3820] for God [0430] now [3528] accepteth [7521] thy works. [4639]
8
Let thy garments [0899] be always [6256] white; [3836] and let thy head [7218] lack [2637] no ointment. [8081]
9
Live [2416] joyfully [7200] with the wife [0802] whom thou lovest [0157] all the days [3117] of the life [2416] of thy vanity, [1892] which he hath given [5414] thee under the sun, [8121] all the days [3117] of thy vanity: [1892] for that [is] thy portion [2506] in [this] life, [2416] and in thy labour [5999] which thou takest [6001] under the sun. [8121]
10
Whatsoever thy hand [3027] findeth [4672] to do, [6213] do [6213] [it] with thy might; [3581] for [there is] no work, [4639] nor device, [2808] nor knowledge, [1847] nor wisdom, [2451] in the grave, [7585] whither thou goest. [1980]
11
I returned, [7725] and saw [7200] under the sun, [8121] that the race [4793] [is] not to the swift, [7031] nor the battle [4421] to the strong, [1368] neither yet bread [3899] to the wise, [2450] nor yet riches [6239] to men of understanding, [0995] nor yet favour [2580] to men of skill; [3045] but time [6256] and chance [6294] happeneth [7136] to them all.
12
For man [0120] also knoweth [3045] not his time: [6256] as the fishes [1709] that are taken [0270] in an evil [7451] net, [4685] and as the birds [6833] that are caught [0270] in the snare; [6341] so [1992] [are] the sons [1121] of men [0120] snared [3369] in an evil [7451] time, [6256] when it falleth [5307] suddenly [6597] upon them.
13
This [2090] wisdom [2451] have I seen [7200] also under the sun, [8121] and it [seemed] great [1419] unto me:
14
[There was] a little [6996] city, [5892] and few [4592] men [0582] within it; and there came [0935] a great [1419] king [4428] against it, and besieged [5437] it, and built [1129] great [1419] bulwarks [4685] against it:
15
Now there was found [4672] in it a poor [4542] wise [2450] man, [0376] and he by his wisdom [2451] delivered [4422] the city; [5892] yet no man [0120] remembered [2142] that same poor [4542] man. [0376]
16
Then said [0559] I, Wisdom [2451] [is] better [2896] than strength: [1369] nevertheless the poor man's [4542] wisdom [2451] [is] despised, [0959] and his words [1697] are not heard. [8085]
17
The words [1697] of wise [2450] [men are] heard [8085] in quiet [5183] more than the cry [2201] of him that ruleth [4910] among fools. [3684]
18
Wisdom [2451] [is] better [2896] than weapons [3627] of war: [7128] but one [0259] sinner [2398] destroyeth [0006] much [7235] good. [2896]
