jub - Ecclesiastes:1-4

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:1 @ The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:2 @ Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:3 @ What profit does a man have of all his labour which he takes under the sun?

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:4 @ [One] generation passes away, and [another] generation comes, but the earth abides for ever.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:5 @ The sun arises, and the sun goes down, and with desire returns to his place from which he arises again.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:6 @ The wind goes toward the south and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to its circuits.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:7 @ All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [is] not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, there they return again.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @ All things [are] full of labour; more [than] man can express; the eye is not satisfied with seeing nor the ear filled with hearing.

jub@Ecclesiastes: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.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @ Is there [any] thing of which it may be said, See, this [is] new? it has been already of old time which was before us.

jub@Ecclesiastes: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.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

jub@Ecclesiastes: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 God has given to the sons of man that they be occupied in it).

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @ [That which is] crooked cannot be made straight, and that which is lacking cannot be numbered.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ I communed with my own heart, saying, Behold, I am come to great estate and have gotten more wisdom than all [those] that have been before me in Jerusalem; and my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I gave my heart to know wisdom and knowledge and to know folly and [those who are] mad; I learned [in the end] that this also is vexation of spirit.

jub@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For in much wisdom [is] much grief, and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.:

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @ I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy good things; and, behold, this also [is] vanity.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:2 @ I said of laughter, [It is] mad, and of mirth, What does it do?

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I proposed in my heart to regale my flesh with wine and that my heart would walk in wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, until 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.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:4 @ I made myself great works; I built myself houses; I planted myself vineyards;

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @ I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all [kind of] fruits;

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @ I made myself pools of water, to water with them the forest that brings forth trees;

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @ I got [myself] servants and maidens and had sons born in my house; also I had great possessions of cattle and sheep above all that were in Jerusalem before me;

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I gathered [unto] myself also silver and gold and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces; I obtained men singers and women singers and [all] the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and those of all sorts.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So I was great and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem, and more than that, my wisdom remained with me.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them; I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour, and this was my portion of all my labour.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ At last I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought and on the labour that I had laboured to do; and, behold, all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit, and [there was] no profit under the sun.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ And I turned myself to behold wisdom and those [who are] mad, and folly; for what [can] the man [do] that comes after the king? [even] that which has already been done.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:13 @ And I have seen that wisdom excels folly as far as light excels darkness.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man [has] his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness: And I myself also understood that one event happens to the one and to the other.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ [Then] I said in my heart, As it shall happen to the fool, so it shall happen even to me. Why have I worked until now to make myself wiser? Then I said in my heart that this also [is] vanity.

jub@Ecclesiastes: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 also the wise [man] shall die the same as the fool.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ [Therefore] I hated life because [every] work that is wrought under the sun [was] grievous unto me; for all [was] vanity and vexation of spirit.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ [Yea], I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun, which I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ And who knows whether he shall be a wise [man] or a fool, he who shall have rule over all my labour in which I have laboured and in which I have showed myself wise under the sun? This [is] also vanity.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ Therefore my heart began to despair again regarding all the labour which I took under the sun.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ That the man who worked with wisdom and with knowledge and with uprightness would have to leave his portion to a man that has not laboured therein. This also [is] vanity and a great evil.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what does man have of all his labour and of the vexation of his heart in which he has laboured under the sun?

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days [are only] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart does not take rest in the night. This is also vanity.

jub@Ecclesiastes: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 labour. I also have seen that this [is] from the hand of God.

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:25 @ For who can eat, or who can care for himself better than I?

jub@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For God gives to the 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 the one that is good before [God]. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.:

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ For all things [there is] a season, and every will under the heaven [has its] time [determined].

jub@Ecclesiastes: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;

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @ a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @ a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

jub@Ecclesiastes: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;

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @ a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @ a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:8 @ a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @ What profit does the one that works have in that in which he labours?

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the travail which God has given to the sons of men that they may be occupied in it.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He has made every [thing] beautiful in his time: even the world he has given over to their will, [in such a way] that no man can attain to this work that God makes from the beginning to the end.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I have learned that [there is] nothing better for them, but to rejoice and to do good in his life.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labour; it [is] the gift of God.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I have understood that whatever God does, it shall be for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it because God does [it] that [men] should fear before him.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @ That which has been is now, and that which is to be has already been and God shall seek that which is past.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ And moreover I saw under the sun [that] instead of judgment, there [was] wickedness; and instead of righteousness, [that] iniquity [was] there.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked; for [there is] a time determined [to judge] every will and regarding everything that is done.

jub@Ecclesiastes: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 one to another.

jub@Ecclesiastes: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; and they all have one breath; so that a man has no more [breath] than a beast: for all [is] vanity.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @ All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all shall turn to dust again.

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knows that the spirit of the sons of men goes upward and that the spirit of the beast goes downward to the earth?

jub@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ Therefore 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?:

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ So I returned and considered all the violence that is done under the sun and behold the tears of [such as are] oppressed, and they have no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors [there was] power; but the [oppressed] had no comforter.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ Therefore I praised the dead who are already dead more than the living who are yet alive.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ And [I thought that] better [is he] than both of them who has not yet been who has not seen the evil works that are done under the sun.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Again, I considered all travail and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @ The fool folds his hands together and eats his own flesh.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better [is] a handful [with] rest than both the hands full [with] travail and vexation of spirit.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:7 @ Then I returned, and I saw [another] vanity under the sun.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ It is the [man] who is alone, without a successor, who has neither son nor brother; yet [is there] no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I labour and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity and sore travail.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @ Two [are] better than one because they have a better reward for their labour.

jub@Ecclesiastes: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.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @ Again, if two sleep together, then they have heat, but how can one be warm [alone]?

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @ Better [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king who will no longer be admonished.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ For he came out of prison to reign, even though he was born poor into his kingdom.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @ I saw all the living who are under the sun walking with the child, the successor that shall stand up in his stead.

jub@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ [There is] no end of all the people that have been before them; those also that come after shall not be content in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.:

jub@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @ Watch thy feet when thou goest to the house of God and draw near [with] more [willingness] to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know how to do what [God] wants.
