nkjv@Job:1:1 @ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.

nkjv@Job:1:3 @ Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.

nkjv@Job:1:4 @ And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

nkjv@Job:1:5 @ So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did regularly.

nkjv@Job:1:6 @ Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.

nkjv@Job:1:10 @ Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

nkjv@Job:1:11 @ But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!"

nkjv@Job:1:12 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person." So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.

nkjv@Job:1:13 @ Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house;

nkjv@Job:1:16 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:17 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:18 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

nkjv@Job:1:21 @ And he said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD."

nkjv@Job:2:1 @ Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

nkjv@Job:2:3 @ Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause."

nkjv@Job:2:4 @ So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.

nkjv@Job:2:8 @ And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes.

nkjv@Job:2:9 @ Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!"

nkjv@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

nkjv@Job:2:13 @ So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

nkjv@Job:3:3 @ "May the day perish on which I was born, And the night in which it was said, "A male child is conceived.'

nkjv@Job:3:6 @ As for that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year, May it not come into the number of the months.

nkjv@Job:3:12 @ Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?

nkjv@Job:3:13 @ For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; Then I would have been at rest

nkjv@Job:3:16 @ Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, Like infants who never saw light?

nkjv@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling, And there the weary are at rest.

nkjv@Job:3:19 @ The small and great are there, And the servant is free from his master.

nkjv@Job:3:21 @ Who long for death, but it does not come, And search for it more than hidden treasures;

nkjv@Job:3:23 @ Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in?

nkjv@Job:3:25 @ For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.

nkjv@Job:3:26 @ I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes."

nkjv@Job:4:4 @ Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees;

nkjv@Job:4:8 @ Even as I have seen, Those who plow iniquity And sow trouble reap the same.

nkjv@Job:4:9 @ By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.

nkjv@Job:4:12 @ "Now a word was secretly brought to me, And my ear received a whisper of it.

nkjv@Job:4:15 @ Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair on my body stood up.

nkjv@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, But I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; There was silence; Then I heard a voice saying:

nkjv@Job:5:7 @ Yet man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

nkjv@Job:5:8 @ "But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause--

nkjv@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night.

nkjv@Job:5:17 @ "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

nkjv@Job:5:22 @ You shall laugh at destruction and famine, And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

nkjv@Job:5:23 @ For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.

nkjv@Job:5:25 @ You shall also know that your descendants shall be many, And your offspring like the grass of the earth.

nkjv@Job:5:26 @ You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.

nkjv@Job:6:3 @ For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea-- Therefore my words have been rash.

nkjv@Job:6:5 @ Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass, Or does the ox low over its fodder?

nkjv@Job:6:6 @ Can flavorless food be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

nkjv@Job:6:7 @ My soul refuses to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me.

nkjv@Job:6:9 @ That it would please God to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!

nkjv@Job:6:15 @ My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,

nkjv@Job:6:17 @ When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.

nkjv@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their way turn aside, They go nowhere and perish.

nkjv@Job:6:26 @ Do you intend to rebuke my words, And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?

nkjv@Job:6:28 @ Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; For I would never lie to your face.

nkjv@Job:6:30 @ Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern the unsavory?

nkjv@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud disappears and vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave does not come up.

nkjv@Job:7:13 @ When I say, "My bed will comfort me, My couch will ease my complaint,'

nkjv@Job:7:20 @ Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?

nkjv@Job:8:4 @ If your sons have sinned against Him, He has cast them away for their transgression.

nkjv@Job:8:7 @ Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

nkjv@Job:8:8 @ "For inquire, please, of the former age, And consider the things discovered by their fathers;

nkjv@Job:8:15 @ He leans on his house, but it does not stand. He holds it fast, but it does not endure.

nkjv@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not cast away the blameless, Nor will He uphold the evildoers.

nkjv@Job:9:4 @ God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered?

nkjv@Job:9:10 @ He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number.

nkjv@Job:9:11 @ If He goes by me, I do not see Him; If He moves past, I do not perceive Him;

nkjv@Job:9:14 @ "How then can I answer Him, And choose my words to reason with Him?

nkjv@Job:9:16 @ If I called and He answered me, I would not believe that He was listening to my voice.

nkjv@Job:9:26 @ They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey.

nkjv@Job:9:30 @ If I wash myself with snow water, And cleanse my hands with soap,

nkjv@Job:9:32 @ "For He is not a man, as I am, That I may answer Him, And that we should go to court together.

nkjv@Job:10:4 @ Do You have eyes of flesh? Or do You see as man sees?

nkjv@Job:10:8 @ "Your hands have made me and fashioned me, An intricate unity; Yet You would destroy me.

nkjv@Job:10:12 @ You have granted me life and favor, And Your care has preserved my spirit.

nkjv@Job:10:13 @ "And these things You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You:

nkjv@Job:10:17 @ You renew Your witnesses against me, And increase Your indignation toward me; Changes and war are ever with me.

nkjv@Job:10:19 @ I would have been as though I had not been. I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.

nkjv@Job:10:20 @ Are not my days few? Cease! Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort,

nkjv@Job:10:22 @ A land as dark as darkness itself, As the shadow of death, without any order, Where even the light is like darkness."'

nkjv@Job:11:9 @ Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea.

nkjv@Job:11:10 @ "If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment, Then who can hinder Him?

nkjv@Job:11:15 @ Then surely you could lift up your face without spot; Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;

nkjv@Job:11:16 @ Because you would forget your misery, And remember it as waters that have passed away,

nkjv@Job:12:3 @ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?

nkjv@Job:12:5 @ A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease; It is made ready for those whose feet slip.

nkjv@Job:12:7 @ "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;

nkjv@Job:12:9 @ Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this,

nkjv@Job:12:11 @ Does not the ear test words And the mouth taste its food?

nkjv@Job:12:13 @ "With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.

nkjv@Job:12:14 @ If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt; If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.

nkjv@Job:13:1 @ "Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it.

nkjv@Job:13:3 @ But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.

nkjv@Job:13:6 @ Now hear my reasoning, And heed the pleadings of my lips.

nkjv@Job:13:9 @ Will it be well when He searches you out? Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?

nkjv@Job:13:12 @ Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.

nkjv@Job:13:18 @ See now, I have prepared my case, I know that I shall be vindicated.

nkjv@Job:13:24 @ Why do You hide Your face, And regard me as Your enemy?

nkjv@Job:14:5 @ Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.

nkjv@Job:14:7 @ "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease.

nkjv@Job:14:10 @ But man dies and is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last And where is he?

nkjv@Job:14:11 @ As water disappears from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dries up,

nkjv@Job:14:13 @ "Oh, that You would hide me in the grave, That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past, That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!

nkjv@Job:14:18 @ "But as a mountain falls and crumbles away, And as a rock is moved from its place;

nkjv@Job:14:19 @ As water wears away stones, And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth; So You destroy the hope of man.

nkjv@Job:14:20 @ You prevail forever against him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.

nkjv@Job:15:2 @ "Should a wise man answer with empty knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

nkjv@Job:15:3 @ Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or by speeches with which he can do no good?

nkjv@Job:15:4 @ Yes, you cast off fear, And restrain prayer before God.

nkjv@Job:15:7 @ "Are you the first man who was born? Or were you made before the hills?

nkjv@Job:15:19 @ To whom alone the land was given, And no alien passed among them:

nkjv@Job:15:27 @ "Though he has covered his face with his fatness, And made his waist heavy with fat,

nkjv@Job:15:33 @ He will shake off his unripe grape like a vine, And cast off his blossom like an olive tree.

nkjv@Job:16:4 @ I also could speak as you do, If your soul were in my soul's place. I could heap up words against you, And shake my head at you;

nkjv@Job:16:6 @ "Though I speak, my grief is not relieved; And if I remain silent, how am I eased?

nkjv@Job:16:7 @ But now He has worn me out; You have made desolate all my company.

nkjv@Job:16:9 @ He tears me in His wrath, and hates me; He gnashes at me with His teeth; My adversary sharpens His gaze on me.

nkjv@Job:16:11 @ God has delivered me to the ungodly, And turned me over to the hands of the wicked.

nkjv@Job:16:12 @ I was at ease, but He has shattered me; He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces; He has set me up for His target,

nkjv@Job:16:21 @ Oh, that one might plead for a man with God, As a man pleads for his neighbor!

nkjv@Job:17:6 @ "But He has made me a byword of the people, And I have become one in whose face men spit.

nkjv@Job:17:7 @ My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow, And all my members are like shadows.

nkjv@Job:17:8 @ Upright men are astonished at this, And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.

nkjv@Job:17:9 @ Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.

nkjv@Job:17:10 @ "But please, come back again, all of you, For I shall not find one wise man among you.

nkjv@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, My purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.

nkjv@Job:17:13 @ If I wait for the grave as my house, If I make my bed in the darkness,

nkjv@Job:17:15 @ Where then is my hope? As for my hope, who can see it?

nkjv@Job:18:3 @ Why are we counted as beasts, And regarded as stupid in your sight?

nkjv@Job:18:7 @ The steps of his strength are shortened, And his own counsel casts him down.

nkjv@Job:18:8 @ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walks into a snare.

nkjv@Job:18:17 @ The memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name among the renowned.

nkjv@Job:18:18 @ He is driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.

nkjv@Job:18:19 @ He has neither son nor posterity among his people, Nor any remaining in his dwellings.

nkjv@Job:18:20 @ Those in the west are astonished at his day, As those in the east are frightened.

nkjv@Job:19:3 @ These ten times you have reproached me; You are not ashamed that you have wronged me.

nkjv@Job:19:6 @ Know then that God has wronged me, And has surrounded me with His net.

nkjv@Job:19:8 @ He has fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass; And He has set darkness in my paths.

nkjv@Job:19:9 @ He has stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.

nkjv@Job:19:10 @ He breaks me down on every side, And I am gone; My hope He has uprooted like a tree.

nkjv@Job:19:11 @ He has also kindled His wrath against me, And He counts me as one of His enemies.

nkjv@Job:19:13 @ "He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.

nkjv@Job:19:15 @ Those who dwell in my house, and my maidservants, Count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.

nkjv@Job:19:21 @ "Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends, For the hand of God has struck me!

nkjv@Job:19:22 @ Why do you persecute me as God does, And are not satisfied with my flesh?

nkjv@Job:19:25 @ For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;

nkjv@Job:20:4 @ "Do you not know this of old, Since man was placed on earth,

nkjv@Job:20:8 @ He will fly away like a dream, and not be found; Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

nkjv@Job:20:15 @ He swallows down riches And vomits them up again; God casts them out of his belly.

nkjv@Job:20:16 @ He will suck the poison of cobras; The viper's tongue will slay him.

nkjv@Job:20:19 @ For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor, He has violently seized a house which he did not build.

nkjv@Job:20:21 @ Nothing is left for him to eat; Therefore his well-being will not last.

nkjv@Job:20:23 @ When he is about to fill his stomach, God will cast on him the fury of His wrath, And will rain it on him while he is eating.

nkjv@Job:20:26 @ Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. An unfanned fire will consume him; It shall go ill with him who is left in his tent.

nkjv@Job:20:28 @ The increase of his house will depart, And his goods will flow away in the day of His wrath.

nkjv@Job:21:4 @ "As for me, is my complaint against man? And if it were, why should I not be impatient?

nkjv@Job:21:5 @ Look at me and be astonished; Put your hand over your mouth.

nkjv@Job:21:23 @ One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and secure;

nkjv@Job:21:25 @ Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, Never having eaten with pleasure.

nkjv@Job:21:29 @ Have you not asked those who travel the road? And do you not know their signs?

nkjv@Job:21:31 @ Who condemns his way to his face? And who repays him for what he has done?

nkjv@Job:21:33 @ The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him; Everyone shall follow him, As countless have gone before him.

nkjv@Job:22:3 @ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless?

nkjv@Job:22:6 @ For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason, And stripped the naked of their clothing.

nkjv@Job:22:9 @ You have sent widows away empty, And the strength of the fatherless was crushed.

nkjv@Job:22:22 @ Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, And lay up His words in your heart.

nkjv@Job:22:29 @ When they cast you down, and you say, "Exaltation will come!' Then He will save the humble person.

nkjv@Job:23:4 @ I would present my case before Him, And fill my mouth with arguments.

nkjv@Job:23:7 @ There the upright could reason with Him, And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

nkjv@Job:23:10 @ But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

nkjv@Job:23:11 @ My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside.

nkjv@Job:23:12 @ I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary food.

nkjv@Job:23:17 @ Because I was not cut off from the presence of darkness, And He did not hide deep darkness from my face.

nkjv@Job:24:3 @ They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; They take the widow's ox as a pledge.

nkjv@Job:24:9 @ "Some snatch the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge from the poor.

nkjv@Job:24:17 @ For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; If someone recognizes them, They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

nkjv@Job:24:19 @ As drought and heat consume the snow waters, So the grave consumes those who have sinned.

nkjv@Job:26:2 @ "How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength?

nkjv@Job:26:3 @ How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared sound advice to many?

nkjv@Job:26:6 @ Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering.

nkjv@Job:26:11 @ The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonished at His rebuke.

nkjv@Job:27:2 @ "As God lives, who has taken away my justice, And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

nkjv@Job:27:3 @ As long as my breath is in me, And the breath of God in my nostrils,

nkjv@Job:27:6 @ My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; My heart shall not reproach me as long as I live.

nkjv@Job:27:21 @ The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; It sweeps him out of his place.

nkjv@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, from it comes bread, But underneath it is turned up as by fire;

nkjv@Job:28:7 @ That path no bird knows, Nor has the falcon's eye seen it.

nkjv@Job:28:8 @ The proud lions have not trodden it, Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.

nkjv@Job:28:15 @ It cannot be purchased for gold, Nor can silver be weighed for its price.

nkjv@Job:28:25 @ To establish a weight for the wind, And apportion the waters by measure.

nkjv@Job:29:2 @ "Oh, that I were as in months past, As in the days when God watched over me;

nkjv@Job:29:4 @ Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;

nkjv@Job:29:5 @ When the Almighty was yet with me, When my children were around me;

nkjv@Job:29:10 @ The voice of nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.

nkjv@Job:29:14 @ I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.

nkjv@Job:29:15 @ I was eyes to the blind, And I was feet to the lame.

nkjv@Job:29:16 @ I was a father to the poor, And I searched out the case that I did not know.

nkjv@Job:29:18 @ "Then I said, "I shall die in my nest, And multiply my days as the sand.

nkjv@Job:29:23 @ They waited for me as for the rain, And they opened their mouth wide as for the spring rain.

nkjv@Job:29:24 @ If I mocked at them, they did not believe it, And the light of my countenance they did not cast down.

nkjv@Job:29:25 @ I chose the way for them, and sat as chief; So I dwelt as a king in the army, As one who comforts mourners.

nkjv@Job:30:2 @ Indeed, what profit is the strength of their hands to me? Their vigor has perished.

nkjv@Job:30:3 @ They are gaunt from want and famine, Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste,

nkjv@Job:30:5 @ They were driven out from among men, They shouted at them as at a thief.

nkjv@Job:30:11 @ Because He has loosed my bowstring and afflicted me, They have cast off restraint before me.

nkjv@Job:30:14 @ They come as broad breakers; Under the ruinous storm they roll along.

nkjv@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned upon me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed like a cloud.

nkjv@Job:30:18 @ By great force my garment is disfigured; It binds me about as the collar of my coat.

nkjv@Job:30:19 @ He has cast me into the mire, And I have become like dust and ashes.

nkjv@Job:30:25 @ Have I not wept for him who was in trouble? Has not my soul grieved for the poor?

nkjv@Job:30:28 @ I go about mourning, but not in the sun; I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.

nkjv@Job:31:3 @ Is it not destruction for the wicked, And disaster for the workers of iniquity?

nkjv@Job:31:5 @ "If I have walked with falsehood, Or if my foot has hastened to deceit,

nkjv@Job:31:7 @ If my step has turned from the way, Or my heart walked after my eyes, Or if any spot adheres to my hands,

nkjv@Job:31:9 @ "If my heart has been enticed by a woman, Or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door,

nkjv@Job:31:12 @ For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction, And would root out all my increase.

nkjv@Job:31:15 @ Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?

nkjv@Job:31:18 @ (But from my youth I reared him as a father, And from my mother's womb I guided the widow );

nkjv@Job:31:25 @ If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gained much;

nkjv@Job:31:27 @ So that my heart has been secretly enticed, And my mouth has kissed my hand;

nkjv@Job:31:30 @ (Indeed I have not allowed my mouth to sin By asking for a curse on his soul);

nkjv@Job:31:31 @ If the men of my tent have not said, "Who is there that has not been satisfied with his meat?'

nkjv@Job:31:33 @ If I have covered my transgressions as Adam, By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,

nkjv@Job:32:1 @ So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

nkjv@Job:32:2 @ Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he justified himself rather than God.

nkjv@Job:32:3 @ Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

nkjv@Job:32:5 @ When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was aroused.

nkjv@Job:32:6 @ So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said: "I am young in years, and you are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And dared not declare my opinion to you.

nkjv@Job:32:11 @ Indeed I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, while you searched out what to say.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:4 @ One generation passes away, and another generation comes; But the earth abides forever.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:5 @ The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, And hastens to the place where it arose.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @ All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:9 @ That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @ Is there anything of which it may be said, "See, this is new"? It has already been in ancient times before us.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:11 @ There is no remembrance of former things, Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come By those who will come after.

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

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @ What is crooked cannot be made straight, And what is lacking cannot be numbered.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ I communed with my heart, saying, "Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @ I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure"; but surely, this also was vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:2 @ I said of laughter--"Madness!"; and of mirth, "What does it accomplish?"

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:4 @ I made my works great, I built myself houses, and planted myself vineyards.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @ I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @ I made myself water pools from which to water the growing trees of the grove.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @ I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ 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 labor; And this was my reward from all my labor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ Then I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly; For what can the man do who succeeds the king?-- Only what he has already done.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:13 @ Then I saw that wisdom excels folly As light excels darkness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man's eyes are in his head, But the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived That the same event happens to them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ So I said in my heart, "As it happens to the fool, It also happens to me, And why was I then more wise?" Then I said in my heart, "This also is vanity."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule over all my labor in which I toiled and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:25 @ For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @ A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @ A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @ A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @ A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:8 @ A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @ What profit has the worker from that in which he labors?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor--it is the gift of God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @ That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires an account of what is past.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ Moreover I saw under the sun: In the place of judgment, Wickedness was there; And in the place of righteousness, Iniquity was there.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, "God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @ I said in my heart, "Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @ All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ Then I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun: And look! The tears of the oppressed, But they have no comforter-- On the side of their oppressors there is power, But they have no comforter.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ Therefore I praised the dead who were already dead, More than the living who are still alive.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ Yet, better than both is he who has never existed, Who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @ The fool folds his hands And consumes his own flesh.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better a handful with quietness Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:7 @ Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ There is one alone, without companion: He has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, Nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks, "For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?" This also is vanity and a grave misfortune.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @ Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @ Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @ Better a poor and wise youth Than an old and foolish king who will be admonished no more.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ For he comes out of prison to be king, Although he was born poor in his kingdom.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @ I saw all the living who walk under the sun; They were with the second youth who stands in his place.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ There was no end of all the people over whom he was made king; Yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @ Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @ Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @ For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool's voice is known by his many words.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:4 @ When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed--

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:5 @ Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @ For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @ Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @ He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; Nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @ When goods increase, They increase who eat them; So what profit have the owners Except to see them with their eyes?

nkjv@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 permit him to sleep.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @ There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @ But those riches perish through misfortune; When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @ As he came from his mother's womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ And this also is a severe evil-- Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @ All his days he also eats in darkness, And he has much sorrow and sickness and anger.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @ Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @ As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor--this is the gift of God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @ For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ A man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor, so that he lacks nothing for himself of all he desires; yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner consumes it. This is vanity, and it is an evil affliction.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with goodness, or indeed he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he--

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @ Though it has not seen the sun or known anything, this has more rest than that man,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @ even if he lives a thousand years twice--but has not seen goodness. Do not all go to one place?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @ All the labor of man is for his mouth, And yet the soul is not satisfied.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what more has the wise man than the fool? What does the poor man have, Who knows how to walk before the living?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ Whatever one is, he has been named already, For it is known that he is man; And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @ Since there are many things that increase vanity, How is man the better?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he passes like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @ A good name is better than precious ointment, And the day of death than the day of one's birth;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ Better to go to the house of mourning Than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And the living will take it to heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @ Sorrow is better than laughter, For by a sad countenance the heart is made better.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:4 @ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise Than for a man to hear the song of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For like the crackling of thorns under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ Surely oppression destroys a wise man's reason, And a bribe debases the heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @ The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @ Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Do not say, "Why were the former days better than these?" For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Wisdom is good with an inheritance, And profitable to those who see the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @ Consider the work of God; For who can make straight what He has made crooked?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ In the day of prosperity be joyful, But in the day of adversity consider: Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, So that man can find out nothing that will come after him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ I have seen everything in my days of vanity: There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness, And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @ Do not be overly righteous, Nor be overly wise: Why should you destroy yourself?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @ Do not be overly wicked, Nor be foolish: Why should you die before your time?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that you grasp this, And also not remove your hand from the other; For he who fears God will escape them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ Wisdom strengthens the wise More than ten rulers of the city.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ For there is not a just man on earth who does good And does not sin.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ Also do not take to heart everything people say, Lest you hear your servant cursing you.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ For many times, also, your own heart has known That even you have cursed others.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @ All this I have proved by wisdom. I said, "I will be wise"; But it was far from me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:24 @ As for that which is far off and exceedingly deep, Who can find it out?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ I applied my heart to know, To search and seek out wisdom and the reason of things, To know the wickedness of folly, Even of foolishness and madness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @ And I find more bitter than death The woman whose heart is snares and nets, Whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God shall escape from her, But the sinner shall be trapped by her.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ "Here is what I have found," says the Preacher, "Adding one thing to the other to find out the reason,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find: One man among a thousand I have found, But a woman among all these I have not found.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @ Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, And the sternness of his face is changed.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @ I say, "Keep the king's commandment for the sake of your oath to God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @ Do not be hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand for an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @ Where the word of a king is, there is power; And who may say to him, "What are you doing?"

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful; And a wise man's heart discerns both time and judgment,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ Because for every matter there is a time and judgment, Though the misery of man increases greatly.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:7 @ For he does not know what will happen; So who can tell him when it will occur?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, And no one has power in the day of death. There is no release from that war, And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything they see before them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ All things come alike to all: One event happens to the righteous and the wicked; To the good, the clean, and the unclean; To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat your bread with joy, And drink your wine with a merry heart; For God has already accepted your works.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @ Let your garments always be white, And let your head lack no oil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I returned and saw under the sun that-- The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ Then I said: "Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, And his words are not heard.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ Words of the wise, spoken quietly, should be heard Rather than the shout of a ruler of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @ Wisdom is better than weapons of war; But one sinner destroys much good."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ A wise man's heart is at his right hand, But a fool's heart at his left.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Even when a fool walks along the way, He lacks wisdom, And he shows everyone that he is a fool.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, Do not leave your post; For conciliation pacifies great offenses.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error proceeding from the ruler:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ Folly is set in great dignity, While the rich sit in a lowly place.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @ I have seen servants on horses, While princes walk on the ground like servants.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @ He who digs a pit will fall into it, And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, And he who splits wood may be endangered by it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; The babbler is no different.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The words of his mouth begin with foolishness, And the end of his talk is raving madness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ A fool also multiplies words. No man knows what is to be; Who can tell him what will be after him?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, And your princes feast at the proper time-- For strength and not for drunkenness!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ Because of laziness the building decays, And through idleness of hands the house leaks.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @ Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds are full of rain, They empty themselves upon the earth; And if a tree falls to the south or the north, In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:4 @ He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @ As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow your seed, And in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, Either this or that, Or whether both alike will be good.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Truly the light is sweet, And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ But if a man lives many years And rejoices in them all, Yet let him remember the days of darkness, For they will be many. All that is coming is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @ Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them":

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @ While the sun and the light, The moon and the stars, Are not darkened, And the clouds do not return after the rain;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, And the strong men bow down; When the grinders cease because they are few, And those that look through the windows grow dim;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @ When the doors are shut in the streets, And the sound of grinding is low; When one rises up at the sound of a bird, And all the daughters of music are brought low.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @ Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:8 @ "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "All is vanity."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:9 @ And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:10 @ The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright--words of truth.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @ The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @ And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:13 @ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:14 @ For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.

nkjv@Songs:1:4 @ Draw me away! We will run after you. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will remember 1your love more than wine. Rightly do they love 1you.

nkjv@Songs:1:6 @ Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me; They made me the keeper of the vineyards, But my own vineyard I have not kept.

nkjv@Songs:1:7 @ Tell me, O you whom I love, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself By the flocks of your companions?

nkjv@Songs:1:13 @ A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, That lies all night between my breasts.

nkjv@Songs:1:16 @ Behold, you are handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant! Also our bed is green.

nkjv@Songs:2:3 @ Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down in his shade with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.

nkjv@Songs:2:4 @ He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.

nkjv@Songs:2:7 @ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.

nkjv@Songs:2:11 @ For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.

nkjv@Songs:2:12 @ The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.

nkjv@Songs:3:4 @ Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go, Until I had brought him to the house of my mother, And into the chamber of her who conceived me.

nkjv@Songs:3:5 @ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.

nkjv@Songs:3:8 @ They all hold swords, Being expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh Because of fear in the night.

nkjv@Songs:4:2 @ Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep Which have come up from the washing, Every one of which bears twins, And none is barren among them.

nkjv@Songs:4:5 @ Your two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle, Which feed among the lilies.

nkjv@Songs:4:11 @ Your lips, O my spouse, Drip as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under your tongue; And the fragrance of your garments Is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

nkjv@Songs:4:13 @ Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates With pleasant fruits, Fragrant henna with spikenard,

nkjv@Songs:4:16 @ Awake, O north wind, And come, O south! Blow upon my garden, That its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden And eat its pleasant fruits.

nkjv@Songs:5:3 @ I have taken off my robe; How can I put it on again? I have washed my feet; How can I defile them?

nkjv@Songs:5:6 @ I opened for my beloved, But my beloved had turned away and was gone. My heart leaped up when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

nkjv@Songs:5:11 @ His head is like the finest gold; His locks are wavy, And black as a raven.

nkjv@Songs:5:12 @ His eyes are like doves By the rivers of waters, Washed with milk, And fitly set.

nkjv@Songs:5:15 @ His legs are pillars of marble Set on bases of fine gold. His countenance is like Lebanon, Excellent as the cedars.

nkjv@Songs:6:1 @ Where has your beloved gone, O fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned aside, That we may seek him with you?

nkjv@Songs:6:2 @ My beloved has gone to his garden, To the beds of spices, To feed his flock in the gardens, And to gather lilies.

nkjv@Songs:6:4 @ O my love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah, Lovely as Jerusalem, Awesome as an army with banners!

nkjv@Songs:6:6 @ Your teeth are like a flock of sheep Which have come up from the washing; Every one bears twins, And none is barren among them.

nkjv@Songs:6:10 @ Who is she who looks forth as the morning, Fair as the moon, Clear as the sun, Awesome as an army with banners?

nkjv@Songs:6:12 @ Before I was even aware, My soul had made me As the chariots of my noble people.

nkjv@Songs:6:13 @ Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may look upon you! What would you see in the Shulamite-- As it were, the dance of the two camps?

nkjv@Songs:7:3 @ Your two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle.

nkjv@Songs:7:4 @ Your neck is like an ivory tower, Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon By the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looks toward Damascus.

nkjv@Songs:7:6 @ How fair and how pleasant you are, O love, with your delights!

nkjv@Songs:7:7 @ This stature of yours is like a palm tree, And your breasts like its clusters.

nkjv@Songs:7:8 @ I said, "I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its branches." Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine, The fragrance of your breath like apples,

nkjv@Songs:7:12 @ Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see if the vine has budded, Whether the grape blossoms are open, And the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.

nkjv@Songs:7:13 @ The mandrakes give off a fragrance, And at our gates are pleasant fruits, All manner, new and old, Which I have laid up for you, my beloved.

nkjv@Songs:8:1 @ Oh, that you were like my brother, Who nursed at my mother's breasts! If I should find you outside, I would kiss you; I would not be despised.

nkjv@Songs:8:4 @ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.

nkjv@Songs:8:6 @ Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame.

nkjv@Songs:8:8 @ We have a little sister, And she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister In the day when she is spoken for?

nkjv@Songs:8:10 @ I am a wall, And my breasts like towers; Then I became in his eyes As one who found peace.

nkjv@Songs:8:11 @ Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon; He leased the vineyard to keepers; Everyone was to bring for its fruit A thousand silver coins.

nkjv@Songs:8:14 @ Make haste, my beloved, And be like a gazelle Or a young stag On the mountains of spices.
