- 4:1 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
- 4:2 Why I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
- 4:3 Yes, better is he than both they, which has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
- 4:4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
- 4:5 The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.
- 4:6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
- 4:7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
- 4:8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yes, he has neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither said he, For whom do I labor, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yes, it is a sore travail.
- 4:9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
- 4:10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has not another to help him up.
- 4:11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
- 4:12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
- 4:13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
- 4:14 For out of prison he comes to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becomes poor.
- 4:15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
- 4:16 There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

- 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
- 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
- 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
- 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
- 3:5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
- 3:6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
- 3:7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
- 3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
- 3:9 What profit has he that works in that wherein he labors?
- 3:10 I have seen the travail, which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
- 3:11 He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.
- 3:12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
- 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.
- 3:14 I know that, whatever God does, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God does it, that men should fear before him.
- 3:15 That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been; and God requires that which is past.
- 3:16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
- 3:17 I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
- 3:18 I said in my heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
- 3:19 For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yes, they have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
- 3:20 All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
- 3:21 Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the earth?
- 3:22 Why I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Ecclesiastes 2
2017年7月24日 by Leave a Comment
- 2:1 I said in my heart, Go to now, I will prove you with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
- 2:2 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What does it?
- 2:3 I sought in my heart to give myself to wine, yet acquainting my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
- 2:4 I made me great works; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards:
- 2:5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
- 2:6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that brings forth trees:
- 2:7 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
- 2:8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I got me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
- 2:9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
- 2:10 And whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor: and this was my portion of all my labor.
- 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had worked, and on the labor that I had labored to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
- 2:12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that comes after the king? even that which has been already done.
- 2:13 Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
- 2:14 The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happens to them all.
- 2:15 Then said I in my heart, As it happens to the fool, so it happens even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
- 2:16 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dies the wise man? as the fool.
- 2:17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is worked under the sun is grievous to me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
- 2:18 Yes, I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it to the man that shall be after me.
- 2:19 And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
- 2:20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labor which I took under the sun.
- 2:21 For there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that has not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
- 2:22 For what has man of all his labor, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he has labored under the sun?
- 2:23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yes, his heart takes not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
- 2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
- 2:25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
- 2:26 For God gives to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

- 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
- 1:2 Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
- 1:3 What profit has a man of all his labor which he takes under the sun?
- 1:4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth stays for ever.
- 1:5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to his place where he arose.
- 1:6 The wind goes toward the south, and turns about to the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits.
- 1:7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; to the place from where the rivers come, thither they return again.
- 1:8 All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
- 1:9 The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
- 1:10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it has been already of old time, which was before us.
- 1:11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
- 1:12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
- 1:13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail has God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
- 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
- 1:15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
- 1:16 I communed with my own heart, saying, See, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yes, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
- 1:17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
- 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.

- 31:1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
- 31:2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
- 31:3 Give not your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
- 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
- 31:5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
- 31:6 Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts.
- 31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

- 31:13 She seeks wool, and flax, and works willingly with her hands.
- 31:14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she brings her food from afar.

- 31:17 She girds her loins with strength, and strengthens her arms.

- 31:19 She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
- 31:20 She stretches out her hand to the poor; yes, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
- 31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

- 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
- 31:24 She makes fine linen, and sells it; and delivers girdles to the merchant.

- 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
- 31:27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and eats not the bread of idleness.
- 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
- 31:29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but you excel them all.
- 31:30 Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
- 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

- 30:1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spoke to Ithiel, even to Ithiel and Ucal,
- 30:2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
- 30:3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
- 30:4 Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended? who has gathered the wind in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who has established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you can tell?
- 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield to them that put their trust in him.
- 30:6 Add you not to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.
- 30:7 Two things have I required of you; deny me them not before I die:
- 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
- 30:9 Lest I be full, and deny you, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
- 30:10 Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
- 30:11 There is a generation that curses their father, and does not bless their mother.
- 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
- 30:13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
- 30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
- 30:15 The horse leach has two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yes, four things say not, It is enough:
- 30:16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that said not, It is enough.
- 30:17 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
- 30:18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yes, four which I know not:
- 30:19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent on a rock; the way of a ship in the middle of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
- 30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and said, I have done no wickedness.
- 30:21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
- 30:22 For a servant when he reigns; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
- 30:23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
- 30:24 There be four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
- 30:25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
- 30:26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
- 30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
- 30:28 The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.
- 30:29 There be three things which go well, yes, four are comely in going:
- 30:30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turns not away for any;
- 30:31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
- 30:32 If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, lay your hand on your mouth.
- 30:33 Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter, and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood: so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.
