strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
God
: no
man
knoweth
either
love
or
hatred
by all that is
before
them.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
sh@.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:7
@ Go thy
way
,
eat
thy
bread
with
joy
, and
drink
thy
wine
with a
merry
heart
; for
God
now
accepteth
thy
works
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:8
@ Let thy
garments
be
always
white
; and let thy
head
lack
no
ointment
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
sh@, whither thou
goest
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:13
@
This
wisdom
have I
seen
also under the
sun
, and it seemed
great
unto me:
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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:
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:16
@ Then
said
I,
Wisdom
is
better
than
strength
: nevertheless the poor
mans
wisdom
is
despised
, and his
words
are not
heard
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:17
@ The
words
of
wise
men are
heard
in
quiet
more than the
cry
of him that
ruleth
among
fools
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:18
@
Wisdom
is
better
than
weapons
of
war
: but
one
sinner
destroyeth
much
good
.
