Ecclesiastes:5:8-6:12




ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @If oppression of the poor, and violent taking away of judgment and righteousness thou seest in a province, do not marvel at the matter, for a higher than the high is observing, and high ones [are] over them.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field is served.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @Whoso is loving silver is not satisfied [with] silver, nor he who is in love with stores [with] increase. Even this [is] vanity.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit [is] to its possessor except the sight of his eyes?

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @Sweet [is] the sleep of the labourer whether he eat little or much; and the sufficiency of the wealthy is not suffering him to sleep.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @And that wealth hath been lost in an evil business, and he hath begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand!

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turneth back to go as he came, and he taketh not away anything of his labour, that doth go in his hand.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @And this also [is] a painful evil, just as he came, so he goeth, and what advantage [is] to him who laboureth for wind?

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @Also all his days in darkness he consumeth, and sadness, and wrath, and sickness abound.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @Lo, that which I have seen: [It is] good, because beautiful, to eat, and to drink, and to see good in all one's labour that he laboureth at under the sun, the number of the days of his life that God hath given to him, for it [is] his portion.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @Every man also to whom God hath given wealth and riches, and hath given him power to eat of it, and to accept his portion, and to rejoice in his labour, this is a gift of God.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @For he doth not much remember the days of his life, for God is answering through the joy of his heart.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it [is] great on man:

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @A man to whom God giveth wealth, and riches, and honour, and there is no lack to his soul of all that he desireth, and God giveth him not power to eat of it, but a stranger eateth it; this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @If a man doth beget a hundred, and live many years, and is great, because they are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from the goodness, and also he hath not had a grave, I have said, 'Better than he [is] the untimely birth.'

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @For in vanity he came in, and in darkness he goeth, and in darkness his name is covered,

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @Even the sun he hath not seen nor known, more rest hath this than that.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @And though he had lived a thousand years twice over, yet good he hath not seen; to the same place doth not every one go?

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the soul is not filled.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @For what advantage [is] to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knoweth to walk before the living?

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the going of the soul. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @What [is] that which hath been? already is its name called, and it is known that it [is] man, and he is not able to contend with him who is stronger than he.

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @For there are many things multiplying vanity; what advantage [is] to man?

ylt@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @For who knoweth what [is] good for a man in life, the number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he maketh them as a shadow? for who declareth to man what is after him under the sun?
