  9:1 ¶
[I saw] that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: yea, there is no man that knows either love or hatred, [though] all are before their face. |
|
9:1 ¶
For°°
all°
this°
I considered°°
in°
my heart°
even to declare°°°
all°
this,°
that°
the righteous,°
and the wise,°
and their works,°
[are] in the hand°
of Elohim:°
no°
man°
knoweth°°
either°
love°
or°
hatred°
[by] all°
[that is] before°
them. |
|
9:2
Vanity is in all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good, and to the bad; both to the pure, and to the impure; both to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifice not: as is the good, so is the sinner: as is the swearer, even so is he that fears an oath. |
|
9:2
All°
[things come] alike°
to all:°
[there is] one°
event°
to the righteous,°
and to the wicked;°
to the good°
and to the clean,°
and to the unclean;°
to him that sacrificeth,°°
and to him that°
sacrificeth°°°
not:°
as [is] the good,°
so [is] the sinner;°°
[and] he that sweareth,°°
as°
[he] that feareth°°
an oath.° |
|
9:3
There is this evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yea, the heart of the sons of men is filled with evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after that [they go] to the dead. |
|
9:3
This°
[is] an evil°
among all°
[things] that°
are done°°
under°
the sun,°
that°
[there is] one°
event°
unto all:°
yea, also°
the heart°
of the sons°
of men°
is full°°
of evil,°
and madness°
[is] in their heart°
while they live,°
and after°
that [they go] to°
the dead.°° |
|
9:4 ¶
For who is he that has fellowship with all the living? there is hope [of him]: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. |
|
9:4 ¶
For°°
to him°
that°
is°
joined°°°°
to°
all°
the living°
there is°
hope:°
for°
a living°
dog°
is better°
than°
a dead°°
lion.° |
|
9:5
For the living will know that they shall die: but the dead know nothing, and there is no longer any reward to them; for their memory is lost. |
|
9:5
For°
the living°
know°°
that they shall die:°°°
but the dead°°
know°°
not°
any thing,°
neither°
have they any more°
a reward;°
for°
the memory°
of them is forgotten.°° |
|
9:6
Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, have now perished; yea, there is no portion for them any more for ever in all that is done under the sun. |
|
9:6
Also°
their love,°
and°
their hatred,°
and°
their envy,°
is now°
perished;°°
neither°
have they any more°
a portion°
for ever°
in any°
[thing] that°
is done°°
under°
the sun.° |
|
9:7 ¶
Go, eat thy bread with mirth, and drink thy wine with a joyful heart; for now God has favourably accepted thy works. |
|
9:7 ¶
Go°
thy way,°°
eat°°
thy bread°
with joy,°
and drink°°
thy wine°
with a merry°
heart;°
for°
Elohim°
now°
accepteth°°°
thy works.° |
|
9:8
Let thy garments be always white; and let not oil be wanting on thine head. |
|
9:8
Let thy garments°
be°
always°°
white;°
and let thy head°
lack°°
no°
ointment.° |
|
9:9
And see life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which are given thee under the sun: for that is thy portion in thy life, and in thy labour wherein thou labourest under the sun. |
|
9:9
Live°
joyfully°°°
with°
the wife°
whom°
thou lovest°°
all°
the days°
of the life°
of thy vanity,°
which°
he hath given°°
thee under°
the sun,°
all°
the days°
of thy vanity:°
for°
that°
[is] thy portion°
in [this] life,°
and in thy labour°
which°
thou°
takest°
under°
the sun.° |
|
9:10
Whatsoever thine hand shall find to do, do with all thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave{gr.Hades} wither thou goest. |
|
9:10
Whatsoever°°
thy hand°
findeth°°
to do,°°
do°°
[it] with thy might;°
for°
[there is] no°
work,°
nor device,°
nor knowledge,°
nor wisdom,°
in the grave,°
whither°°
thou°
goest.°° |
|
9:11 ¶
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor yet wealth to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; for time and chance will happen to them all. |
|
9:11 ¶
I returned,°°
and saw°°
under°
the sun,°
that°
the race°
[is] not°
to the swift,°
nor°
the battle°
to the strong,°
neither°
yet°
bread°
to the wise,°
nor°
yet°
riches°
to men of understanding,°°
nor°
yet°
favour°
to men of skill;°°
but°
time°
and chance°
happeneth°°
to°
them all.° |
|
9:12
For surely man also knows not his time: as fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as birds that are caught in a snare; even thus the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them. |
|
9:12
For°
man°
also°
knoweth°°
not°°
his time:°
as the fishes°
that are taken°°°
in an evil°
net,°°
and as the birds°
that are caught°°
in the snare;°
so°
[are] the sons°
of men°
snared°°
in an evil°
time,°
when it falleth°°°
suddenly°
upon°
them. |
|
9:13 ¶
This I also saw [to be] wisdom under the sun, and it is great before me: |
|
9:13 ¶
This°
wisdom°
have I seen°°
also°
under°
the sun,°
and it°
[seemed] great°
unto°
me: |
|
9:14
[suppose there were] a little city, and few men in it; and there should come against it a great king, and surround it, and build great mounds against it; |
|
9:14
[There was] a little°
city,°
and few°
men°°
within it; and there came°°
a great°
king°
against°
it, and besieged°°
it, and built°°
great°
bulwarks°
against°
it: |
|
9:15
and should find in it a poor wise man, and he should save the city through his wisdom: yet no man would remember that poor man. |
|
9:15
Now there was found°°
in it a poor°
wise°
man,°
and he°
by his wisdom°
delivered°°°
the city;°
yet no°
man°
remembered°°°
that same°
poor°
man.° |
|
9:16
And I said Wisdom is better than power: yet the wisdom of the poor man is set at nought, and his words not listened to. |
|
9:16
Then said°°
I,°
Wisdom°
[is] better°
than strength:°°
nevertheless the poor man's°
wisdom°
[is] despised,°°
and his words°
are not°
heard.°° |
|
9:17
The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly. |
|
9:17
The words°
of wise°
[men are] heard°°
in quiet°
more than the cry°°
of him that ruleth°°
among fools.° |
|
9:18
Wisdom is better than weapons of war: and one sinner will destroy much good. |
|
9:18
Wisdom°
[is] better°
than weapons°°
of war:°
but one°
sinner°°
destroyeth°°
much°°
good.° |
