mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, do not marvel at the matter. For He [who is] higher than the highest watches; and there are some higher than they.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @ And the advantage of a land, it is for all; [even] a king has a field being tilled.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, and he who loves abundance not with] gain. This [is] also vanity.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @ When the good thing increases, those who eat it increase; then what profit [is it] to its owners, except to see [it] with their eyes?

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @ The sleep of a laboring man [is] sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @ There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for their owners to their hurt.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @ But those riches perish by evil use. And he brings forth a son, and nothing [is] in his hand.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @ As he came forth from his mother's womb naked, he shall return to go as he came. And from his labor he may not carry anything that may go in his hand.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all, as he came, so shall he go; and what profit does he have who has labored for the wind?

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @ Also all his days he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath [with] his sickness.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @ Behold that which I have seen. [it is] good and right for one to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labor that he labors under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him; for it [is] his portion.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @ Also every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this [is] the gift of God.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @ For he shall not much remember the days of his life, because God answers [him] in the joy of his heart.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it [is] great among men:

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ a man to whom God has given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a stranger eats it. This [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man fathers a hundred, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with good, and also is for him no burial; I say, a miscarriage [is] better than he.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ For he comes in with vanity and goes out in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @ Also he has not seen the sun, nor known [anything]. This one has more rest than the other.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @ Yea, though he live twice a thousand years, yet he has seen no good. Do not all go to one place?

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @ All the labor of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what [has] the wise more than the fool? What [gain has] the poor who knows [how] to walk before the living?

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @ Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ That which has been [is] named already, and it is known that he [is] man. And he is not able to contend with Him who is mightier than he.

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @ For there are many things that increase vanity, [and] what [is] man the better?

mkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ For who knows what [is] good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends as a shadow? For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
