Eccl 1:10

Is there anything of which one might say, “See this, it is new”? Already it has existed for ages Which were before us.

Eccl 1:11

There is no remembrance of earlier things; And also of the later things which will occur, There will be for them no remembrance Among those who will come later still.

Eccl 2:3

I explored with my mind how to stimulate my body with wine while my mind was guiding me wisely, and how to take hold of folly, until I could see what good there is for the sons of men to do under heaven the few years of their lives.

Eccl 2:4

I enlarged my works: I built houses for myself, I planted vineyards for myself;

Eccl 2:5

I made gardens and parks for myself and I planted in them all kinds of fruit trees;

Eccl 2:6

I made ponds of water for myself from which to irrigate a forest of growing trees.

Eccl 2:8

Also, I collected for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I provided for myself male and female singers and the pleasures of men — many concubines.

Eccl 2:10

All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my reward for all my labor.

Eccl 2:12

12 So I turned to consider wisdom, madness and folly; for what will the man do who will come after the king except what has already been done?

Eccl 2:16

For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise man as with the fool, inasmuch as in the coming days all will be forgotten. And how the wise man and the fool alike die!

Eccl 2:17

So I hated life, for the work which had been done under the sun was grievous to me; because everything is futility and striving after wind.

Eccl 2:18

18 Thus I hated all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, for I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

Eccl 2:19

And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the fruit of my labor for which I have labored by acting wisely under the sun. This too is vanity.

Eccl 2:20

Therefore I completely despaired of all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun.

Eccl 2:22

For what does a man get in all his labor and in his striving with which he labors under the sun?

Eccl 2:24

There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and tell himself that his labor is good. This also I have seen that it is from the hand of God.

Eccl 2:25

For who can eat and who can have enjoyment without Him?

Eccl 2:26

For to a person who is good in His sight He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, while to the sinner He has given the task of gathering and collecting so that he may give to one who is good in God’s sight. This too is vanity and striving after wind.

Eccl 3:1

1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven —

Eccl 3:8

A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace.

Eccl 3:12

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime;

Eccl 3:14

I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him.

Eccl 3:15

That which is has been already and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by.

Eccl 3:17

I said to myself, “God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man,” for a time for every matter and for every deed is there.

Eccl 3:18

I said to myself concerning the sons of men, “God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts.”

Eccl 3:19

For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity.

Eccl 3:22

I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?

Eccl 4:8

There was a certain man without a dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches and he never asked, “And for whom am I laboring and depriving myself of pleasure?” This too is vanity and it is a grievous task.

Eccl 4:9

Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.

Eccl 4:10

For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.

Eccl 4:14

For he has come out of prison to become king, even though he was born poor in his kingdom.

Eccl 4:16

There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them, and even the ones who will come later will not be happy with him, for this too is vanity and striving after wind.

Eccl 5:1

1 Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.

Eccl 5:2

Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.

Eccl 5:3

For the dream comes through much effort and the voice of a fool through many words.

Eccl 5:4

When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!

Eccl 5:7

For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear God.

Eccl 5:8

If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the sight; for one official watches over another official, and there are higher officials over them.

Eccl 5:16

This also is a grievous evil — exactly as a man is born, thus will he die. So what is the advantage to him who toils for the wind?

Eccl 5:18

Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward.

Eccl 5:19

Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.

Eccl 5:20

For he will not often consider the years of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart.

Eccl 6:2

a man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor so that his soul lacks nothing of all that he desires; yet God has not empowered him to eat from them, for a foreigner enjoys them. This is vanity and a severe affliction.

Eccl 6:4

for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity.

Eccl 6:7

All a man’s labor is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied.

Eccl 6:8

For what advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What advantage does the poor man have, knowing how to walk before the living?

Eccl 6:10

Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is.

Eccl 6:11

For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a man?

Eccl 6:12

For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

Eccl 7:3

Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.
