lesserot@Job:1:1 @ There was a man in the land of ‘Uz, Job was his name; And this man was perfect and upright, and fearing God, and eschewing evil.

lesserot@Job:1:3 @ And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she–asses, and he had a very great store of servants: so that this man was greater than all the sons of the east.

lesserot@Job:1:4 @ And his sons used to go and prepare a feast in the house of every one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

lesserot@Job:1:5 @ And it happened, when the days of the feast were gone round, that Job sent and sanctified them, and he then rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt–offerings according to the number of all of them; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their heart. In this manner used Job to do all the time.

lesserot@Job:1:8 @ Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job; for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil?

lesserot@Job:1:10 @ Behold, thou hast indeed placed a fence about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side: the work of his hands hast thou blessed, and his cattle are far spread out in the land.

lesserot@Job:1:14 @ That a messenger came unto Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the she–asses were feeding beside them:

lesserot@Job:1:16 @ This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, A fire of God fell from heaven, and burnt among the sheep and the young men, and consumed them; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.

lesserot@Job:1:18 @ While this one was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first–born brother:

lesserot@Job:2:3 @ Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job: for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil? and he is still holding fast to his integrity, and thou hast incited me against him, to destroy him without cause.

lesserot@Job:2:8 @ And took himself a potsherd to scrape himself there with, while he was sitting down among the ashes.

lesserot@Job:2:9 @ Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast to thy integrity? renounce God, and die.

lesserot@Job:2:10 @ But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the worthless women would speak. What? should we accept the good alone, from God, and the evil we should not accept? With all this did Job not sin with his lips.

lesserot@Job:2:11 @ When now the three friends of Job had heard of all this evil that was come over him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Bildad the Shuchite, and Zophar the Na’amthite; and they met together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.

lesserot@Job:2:13 @ They likewise sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; but no one spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his pain was very great.

lesserot@Job:3:3 @ Oh that the day whereon I was born might perish, and the night when it was said, There hath been a male child conceived.

lesserot@Job:3:11 @ Why did I not die from the womb, and was I not born merely to perish at once?

lesserot@Job:3:12 @ Wherefore were knees ready to receive me? and for what purpose were breasts there that I might suck?

lesserot@Job:3:16 @ Or as an untimely birth, hidden I should not exist; as infants that never have seen the light;

lesserot@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling; and where the exhausted weary are at rest;

lesserot@Job:3:18 @ the prisoners repose together, they hear no more the taskmaster’s voice.

lesserot@Job:3:19 @ The small with the great is there, and the servant free from his master.

lesserot@Job:3:21 @ Who wait for death, which not; and who dig for it sooner than for hidden treasures;

lesserot@Job:4:3 @ Behold, thou hast corrected many, and weak hands thou wast wont to strengthen.

lesserot@Job:4:8 @ Even as I have seen, that those who plough wrong–doing, and sow trouble, have to reap the same.

lesserot@Job:4:15 @ Then flitted a spirit past before my face; the hair of my body stood up:

lesserot@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not recognize its form; a figure was before my eyes, a slight whisper, then a voice I heard, saying,

lesserot@Job:5:3 @ I have myself seen the foolish taking root; but I suddenly held his habitation as accursed.

lesserot@Job:5:7 @ But man is born unto trouble, as young birds take up their flight.

lesserot@Job:5:13 @ Who catcheth the wise in their own craftiness; and the advise of the perverse is hastened on headlong;

lesserot@Job:5:14 @ By day they meet with darkness, and as though it were night they grope about in the noon of day;

lesserot@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and famine canst thou laugh; and thou needest not have any fear of the beasts of the earth.

lesserot@Job:5:23 @ For with the stones of the field shalt thou have thy covenant; and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

lesserot@Job:5:25 @ And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thy offspring as the herbage of the earth.

lesserot@Job:5:26 @ Thon wilt go in a ripe age unto the grave, as a shock of corn is carried home in its season.

lesserot@Job:6:5 @ Doth the wild ass bray over the grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

lesserot@Job:6:6 @ Is ever tasteless food eaten without salt? or is there any flavor in the white of an egg?

lesserot@Job:6:9 @ Yea, that it would please God that he might crush me: that he would let loose his hand, and make an end of me!

lesserot@Job:6:14 @ As though I were one who refuseth kindness to his friend, and forsaketh the fear of the Almighty:

lesserot@Job:6:15 @ My brothers are treacherous as a brook, like flowing brooks they pass along;

lesserot@Job:6:16 @ Which are made turbid by reason of the ice, wherein the snow hideth itself;

lesserot@Job:6:20 @ But they stand ashamed because they had trusted; they come thither and are made to blush.

lesserot@Job:6:25 @ How pleasant are straightforward words! but what doth arguing prove?

lesserot@Job:6:26 @ Do ye think to reprove words, and as wind the speeches of one that is despairing?

lesserot@Job:6:27 @ Yea, ye would cast any thing upon the fatherless, and ye would dig a pit against your friend.

lesserot@Job:6:28 @ But now, if it please you, turn yourselves toward me, and whether I would lie before your face.

lesserot@Job:7:2 @ As a servant eagerly longeth for the shadow, and as a hired laborer hopeth for his reward:

lesserot@Job:7:3 @ So was I compelled to possess months of vanity, and nights of trouble were counted out unto me.

lesserot@Job:7:6 @ My days hasten away more swiftly than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end in the absence of hope.

lesserot@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud vanisheth and passeth away: so will he that goeth down to the nether world not come up again.

lesserot@Job:7:20 @ If I have sinned, what can I cause unto thee, O thou Guardian of men? why hast thou set me as an object for thee to strike at, so that I am become a burden to myself?

lesserot@Job:7:21 @ And why wilt thou not forgive my transgression, and let my iniquity pass away? for soon must I lie down in the dust; and thou wilt seek for me, but I shall be no more.

lesserot@Job:8:8 @ For ask, I pray thee, of an earlier generation, and prepare thyself to the research of their fathers; ––

lesserot@Job:8:11 @ Can the bulrush shoot upward without mire? can the meadow–grass grow up without water?

lesserot@Job:8:12 @ It is yet in its greenness, not yet cut down, when it withereth before any other grass.

lesserot@Job:8:15 @ He leaneth against his house, but it shall not stand: he layeth fast hold on it, but it shall not remain erect.

lesserot@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not reject a perfect man, and will not hold fast by their hand the evil–doers:

lesserot@Job:9:11 @ Lo, were he to go past by me, I should not see him; and were he to pass along, I should not perceive him.

lesserot@Job:9:25 @ And my days pass swifter than a runner: they flee away, they see no happiness,

lesserot@Job:9:26 @ They hasten along like pirate ships: like the eagle that stoopeth down upon his food.

lesserot@Job:9:30 @ If I were to wash myself in snow–water, to cleanse myself in the purity of my hands:

lesserot@Job:10:4 @ Hast thou eyes of flesh? or wilt thou see as a mortal seeth?

lesserot@Job:10:5 @ Are thy days as the days of a mortal, or are thy years as the days of a man,

lesserot@Job:10:9 @ Remember, I beseech thee, that as though I were clay hast thou made me; and wilt thou cause me to return again unto the dust?

lesserot@Job:10:13 @ And yet these things hadst thou treasured up in thy heart: I know that this was within thee.

lesserot@Job:10:16 @ And it constantly increaseth; like a fierce lion dost thou hunt for me; and again thou showest thyself continually wonderful on me;

lesserot@Job:10:19 @ That I were as though I had not been,––had been borne from the womb to the grave.

lesserot@Job:10:20 @ Lo! my days are but few: cease, then, withdraw from me, that I may recover my cheerfulness a little.

lesserot@Job:10:22 @ A land of utter gloom, as of the darkness of the shadow of death, without any order, and the light of which is like utter gloom.

lesserot@Job:11:3 @ Thy inventions are to bring men to silence; and when thou utterest thy mocking no one is to cause thee to feel abashed!

lesserot@Job:11:4 @ For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am become clean in thy eyes.

lesserot@Job:11:16 @ Because thou wilt truly forget thy trouble, and as a waterflood that is passed away wilt thou remember it;

lesserot@Job:12:3 @ I also have sense like you; I do not fall short compared with you: and who possesseth not such things as these?

lesserot@Job:12:4 @ I am as one laughed at by his friend, who calleth upon God, while he answered him: a laughing–stock though righteous and innocent.

lesserot@Job:12:5 @ To the unfortunate there is given contempt–– according to the thoughts of him that is at ease–– prepared for those whose foot slippeth.

lesserot@Job:12:7 @ Yet, do only ask of the beasts, and they will instruct thee; and the fowls of the heavens, and they will tell it thee;

lesserot@Job:12:24 @ He taketh away the sense of the chiefs of the people of the land, and causeth them to wander astray in a wilderness when there is no way.

lesserot@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, and he causeth them to wander astray like a drunken man.

lesserot@Job:13:2 @ As much as ye know, do I also know: I do not fall short compared with you.

lesserot@Job:13:5 @ Oh, who would grant that ye might keep a profound silences! and it would he accounted unto you as wisdom.

lesserot@Job:13:6 @ Do hearken but to my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

lesserot@Job:13:9 @ Will it be well if he should search you out? or as one overreacheth another mortal, do ye expect to overreach him?

lesserot@Job:13:12 @ The things you remember are mere proverbs of ashes, your high–places are high–places of clay.

lesserot@Job:13:13 @ Keep silence toward me, that I may indeed speak, and let pass over me what will.

lesserot@Job:13:16 @ Even he will come to my assistance; for a hypocrite cannot come before him.

lesserot@Job:13:24 @ Wherefore wilt thou hide thy face, and regard me as an enemy unto thee?

lesserot@Job:13:26 @ That thou writest bitter decrees against me, and assignest unto me the iniquities of my youth;

lesserot@Job:13:28 @ And yet the body decayeth like a rotten thing, as a garment that the moth hath eaten.

lesserot@Job:14:5 @ Seeing that his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, that thou hast set his bounds which he cannot pass:

lesserot@Job:14:9 @ Yet through the scent of water will it flourish, and produce boughs as though It were newly planted.

lesserot@Job:14:13 @ Oh who would grant that thou mightest hide me in the nether world, that thou mightest conceal me, until thy wrath be appeased, that thou mightest set for me a fixed time, and remember me then!

lesserot@Job:14:14 @ Or, when a man dieth, will he live again? all the days of my time of service would I then wait, till my release were come.

lesserot@Job:14:20 @ Thou assailest him with might without ceasing, till he passeth away: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him off.

lesserot@Job:15:2 @ Should a wise man utter windy knowledge, and fill his inward parts with the east wind?

lesserot@Job:15:3 @ Should he reason with a speech which availeth nothing? and with words in which there is no profit?

lesserot@Job:15:7 @ Wast thou born as the first man? or wast thou brought forth before the hills?

lesserot@Job:15:8 @ Hast thou listened to the secret counsel of God? and is wisdom therefore of little esteem with thee?

lesserot@Job:15:11 @ Are the divine consolations too little for thee? and the word that was so mild with thee?

lesserot@Job:15:18 @ Which wise men have ever told, and have not concealed, as they obtained it from their fathers;

lesserot@Job:15:19 @ Unto whom alone the earth was given, and into whose midst no stranger ever entered.

lesserot@Job:15:21 @ A sound of terrors is in his ears: during peace will the waster come over him.

lesserot@Job:15:24 @ Distress and anguish terrify him: they assail him with might, as a king prepared for the battle.

lesserot@Job:15:31 @ Let him that goeth astray not trust in vanity; for vanity will be what he obtaineth thereby.

lesserot@Job:15:33 @ He will shake off like the vine his unripe grapes, and cast off like the olive his blossoms.

lesserot@Job:15:34 @ For the assembly of hypocrites will remain desolate, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.

lesserot@Job:16:2 @ I have heard many things such as these: troublesome comforters are ye all.

lesserot@Job:16:4 @ I also could well speak as ye do: if your soul were but in my soul’s stead, I could overwhelm you with words, and could shake my head at you.

lesserot@Job:16:7 @ But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

lesserot@Job:16:8 @ And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, they are my witnesses; and my leanness riseth up for me, giveth its testimony to my face.

lesserot@Job:16:9 @ In his wrath he teareth me to pieces, and assaileth me: he gnasheth over me with his teeth; my adversary sendeth threatening looks at me.

lesserot@Job:16:10 @ They now open wide against me their mouth; reproachfully they smite my cheek: altogether do they assemble against me.

lesserot@Job:16:11 @ God hath surrendered me to the unjust, and cast me down into the hands of the wicked.

lesserot@Job:16:12 @ I was at ease, but he hath crushed me; he hath also grasped me by the neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up unto himself as a mark;

lesserot@Job:16:13 @ His archers encompass me round about; he cleaveth my reins sunder, and doth not pity; he poureth out upon the ground my gall;

lesserot@Job:16:21 @ And oh that a man might plead with God, as one son of earth with the other!

lesserot@Job:16:22 @ For when the numbered years are passed, then must I travel a path whence I cannot return.

lesserot@Job:17:4 @ For thou hast concealed their heart against intelligence: therefore art thou not exalted.

lesserot@Job:17:6 @ And he hath placed me here as a by–word unto nations; and I become openly as a place of abomination.

lesserot@Job:17:8 @ Upright men must be astonished at this, and the innocent must arouse himself against the hypocrite.

lesserot@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, my resolves are broken off, ––the possessions of my heart.

lesserot@Job:17:12 @ These would change the night into day, the light as near in the presence of darkness.––

lesserot@Job:17:13 @ When I hope for the nether world as my house; in the darkness have I spread my couch;

lesserot@Job:17:15 @ Ay, where is then my hope? as for my hope, who will see it?

lesserot@Job:18:3 @ For what cause are we counted as beasts, reputed stupid your eyes?

lesserot@Job:18:7 @ His powerful steps will be narrowed, and his own counsel will cast him down.

lesserot@Job:18:11 @ All around do terrors scare him, and chase him as he walketh along.

lesserot@Job:18:20 @ Because of his day are they that come after him astonished, and they that went before are seized with shuddering.

lesserot@Job:19:3 @ These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed when ye show yourselves as strangers to me.

lesserot@Job:19:8 @ My road hath he fenced up, so that I cannot pass out; and on my paths he placeth darkness.

lesserot@Job:19:11 @ He hath also kindled against me his wrath, and he counteth me with himself as one of his adversaries.

lesserot@Job:19:15 @ Ye that sojourn in my house, and my maid–servants, regard me as a stranger: an alien am I become in their eyes.

lesserot@Job:19:22 @ Why will ye persecute me as God, and will never be satisfied with my flesh?

lesserot@Job:19:25 @ And well I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he will remain as the last after the creatures of the dust;

lesserot@Job:19:27 @ Whom I shall myself behold to my happiness, and whom my eyes will see, and not as a stranger, my reins are consumed within my bosom.

lesserot@Job:20:2 @ Even therefore do my inmost thoughts give me an answer, and for this reason do I feel a strong excitement within me.

lesserot@Job:20:3 @ Reproof which casteth shame on me must I hear; yet out of my understanding will the spirit give me an answer.

lesserot@Job:20:4 @ Dost thou know this? from the very beginning of things, from the very time when man was placed upon earth it was,

lesserot@Job:20:8 @ Like a dream will he fly away, and men will find him no more; yea, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

lesserot@Job:20:14 @ His food is thus changed within his bowels, and becometh the venom of asps within him.

lesserot@Job:20:16 @ The poison of asps will he have to suck; the viper’s tongue will slay him.

lesserot@Job:20:17 @ He shall not look with pleasure on streams, on flowing brooks of honey and cream.

lesserot@Job:20:21 @ Nothing was spared from his craving to eat: therefore shall his wealth not prosper.

lesserot@Job:20:22 @ In the fulness of his abundance will distress assail him: every hand of troubled will come against him.

lesserot@Job:20:26 @ Entire darkness is laid by for his treasures: a fire not urged by blowing will consume him; it will destroy any one that is left in his tent.

lesserot@Job:21:4 @ As for me,––is against man my complaint? and if this be so, why should my spirit not be impatient?

lesserot@Job:21:5 @ Turn yourselves unto me, and be astounded, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

lesserot@Job:21:10 @ The bull of each one gendereth, and disappointeth not: the cow of each one calveth, and casteth not her young.

lesserot@Job:21:18 @ Are they as straw before the wind, and as chaff which the stealeth away?

lesserot@Job:21:23 @ That this one dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet;

lesserot@Job:21:29 @ Have ye not asked the wayfarers? surely their token ye cannot disregard,

lesserot@Job:21:33 @ Sweet are to him the clods of the valley; and after him succeedeth every man, as those that were before him are without number.

lesserot@Job:22:3 @ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous? or is it any gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

lesserot@Job:22:6 @ For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brothers for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

lesserot@Job:22:7 @ Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and from the hungry thou hast withholden bread.

lesserot@Job:22:8 @ But as for the man of a strong arm, he obtained the land, and the highly honored could dwell therein.

lesserot@Job:22:9 @ Widows hast thou sent away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

lesserot@Job:22:16 @ Who were shrivelled up before their time, whose foundation was flooded away like a river;

lesserot@Job:22:18 @ And yet it was he that filled their houses with good things; but the counsel of the wicked be far from me.

lesserot@Job:23:8 @ But, lo, I go eastward––and he is not there; and to the west–– and I cannot perceive him;

lesserot@Job:23:10 @ But he knoweth the way that I take: were he to probe me, I should come forth as gold.

lesserot@Job:23:11 @ On his steps my foot hath held fast: his way have I kept, and swerved not.

lesserot@Job:23:12 @ From the commandment of his lips have I also not moved away: as a fixed statute for me have I treasured up the sayings of his mouth.

lesserot@Job:23:17 @ Because I was not destroyed before this darkness, and because he hath not hidden from my face gloom.

lesserot@Job:24:1 @ Why are not times treasured up by the Almighty, and why do his adorers not see his days?

lesserot@Job:24:3 @ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take in pledge the widow’s ox.

lesserot@Job:24:4 @ They chase the needy out of the highway: altogether hide themselves the poor of the earth.

lesserot@Job:24:5 @ Behold, as wild asses in the wilderness go they forth to their work, rising betimes after prey: the desert yieldeth food for them and for their young men.

lesserot@Job:24:9 @ The others pluck from the breast the fatherless, and the garment of the poor they take in pledge.

lesserot@Job:24:12 @ Out of a populous city is groaning heard, and the soul of the deadly wounded crieth out: yet God regardeth it not as an offence.

lesserot@Job:24:17 @ For to all of these alike is the morning as the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.

lesserot@Job:25:5 @ Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.

lesserot@Job:26:2 @ What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? hast thou helped the arm without strength?

lesserot@Job:26:3 @ How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?

lesserot@Job:26:4 @ To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?

lesserot@Job:26:10 @ A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.

lesserot@Job:26:11 @ The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.

lesserot@Job:27:2 @ As God liveth, who hath removed justice from me; and by the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul:

lesserot@Job:27:6 @ I have laid fast hold on my righteousness, and I will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me during all my life.

lesserot@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, when he hath gained unjust wealth, when God casteth forth his soul?

lesserot@Job:27:16 @ Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare garments as the clay:

lesserot@Job:27:21 @ The east wind will lift him up, and he must be gone; and it hurleth him like a storm out of his place.

lesserot@Job:27:22 @ And will cast upon him, and bare no pity: out of his hand will surely escape.

lesserot@Job:28:5 @ The earth, out of which cometh forth bread, is under its surface turned up as it were with fire.

lesserot@Job:28:8 @ ravenous beasts have never trodden, over which the lion hath never passed.

lesserot@Job:28:15 @ No fine gold can be given in lieu of her, and silver cannot be weighed out as her price.

lesserot@Job:28:17 @ She cannot be estimated after gold and glass; and not in exchange for her vessels of refined gold

lesserot@Job:28:25 @ When he imparted weight unto the wind; and the waters he established by measure;

lesserot@Job:29:2 @ Who will give me back months like those which are past, days like those when God guarded me;

lesserot@Job:29:4 @ As I was in the days of my abundance, when the confidence of God was upon my tent:

lesserot@Job:29:5 @ When the Almighty was yet with me, when my servants stood round about me;

lesserot@Job:29:10 @ The voice of nobles was arrested, and their tongue cleaved to their palate.

lesserot@Job:29:13 @ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; and the heart of the widow I caused to sing for joy.

lesserot@Job:29:14 @ I took righteousness as my garment, and it clothed me: as a robe and a mitre was justice unto me.

lesserot@Job:29:15 @ Eyes was I to the blind; and feet to the lame was I.

lesserot@Job:29:16 @ A father was I to the needy; and the cause of him I knew not I used to investigate.

lesserot@Job:29:17 @ And I broke the cutting–teeth of the wrong–doer, and out of his teeth I cast down his prey.

lesserot@Job:29:23 @ And they waited for me as for the rain, and they opened wide their mouth as for the latter rain.

lesserot@Job:29:24 @ I smiled on those that had lost their confidence; and the light of my countenance they never cast down.

lesserot@Job:29:25 @ I chose their way for them, and I sat as chief, and dwelt as king in his army, as one that comforteth mourners.

lesserot@Job:30:1 @ But now they who are younger than I in years laugh at me, whose fathers I scorned to put as equals with the dogs of my flocks.

lesserot@Job:30:2 @ Yea, what possible use can the strength of their hands be unto me, over whom old age hath passed fruitlessly?

lesserot@Job:30:4 @ Who crop off mallows by the bushes, and have broom–bush roots as their bread;

lesserot@Job:30:5 @ Who are driven forth from among, who are shouted after as though they were thieves,

lesserot@Job:30:8 @ The children of the worthless, yea, the children of the nameless, who were outcasts from the land.

lesserot@Job:30:11 @ Because he hath loosened the cord of my bow, and afflicted me, they have also cast off the bridle before me.

lesserot@Job:30:14 @ As a broad breach they come: amidst a loud noise they rolled themselves along.

lesserot@Job:30:15 @ Terrors have turned their face against me; they chase like the wind my glory: and like a cloud is my happiness passed away.

lesserot@Job:30:19 @ He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

lesserot@Job:30:21 @ Thou art changed into a cruel master toward me: with the strength of thy hand thou assailest me.

lesserot@Job:30:22 @ Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to pass away, and dissolvest in me all wise counsel.

lesserot@Job:30:23 @ For I know that thou wilt bring me back to death, and to the house of assembly for all the living.

lesserot@Job:30:25 @ Did I not weep for him that was hard pressed by misfortune? was not my soul grieved for the needy?

lesserot@Job:30:28 @ I walk about mournfully without sunlight: when I rise up, in the assembly, I cry with pain.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @ All things weary themselves; man can not utter them: the eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:9 @ That which hath been, is the same which will be; and that which hath been done, is the same which will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @ If there be any thing whereof it is said, See, this is new: It hath already been in olden times which were before us.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:11 @ there is no recollection of former; and also of the later ones, that are to be––of these there will be no recollection with those that will be still later.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I Koheleth was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I directed my heart to inquire and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: this is an evil employment which God hath given to the sons of man to busy themselves therewith.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun: and, behold, all is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @ What is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is defective cannot be numbered.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ I spoke with my own heart, saying, Lo, I have truly obtained greater and more wisdom than all those who have been before me over Jerusalem: yea, my heart had seen much wisdom and knowledge.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I directed my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly; I have perceived that this also is a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For where there is much wisdom there is much vexation: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth pain.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @ Come, then, I said in my heart, I will have a taste of joy, and thou shalt see what is good; but, behold, this also was vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:2 @ Of laughter I said, It maketh one mad: and of joy, What doth this do?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I resolved in my heart to indulge my body with wine, while my heart guideth itself with wisdom; and to lay fast hold on folly, till I might see what it is that is good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heavens during the number of the days of their life.

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

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @ I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted therein trees of all kinds of fruit;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @ I made myself pools of water, to water therewith the forest overgrown with trees;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @ I bought men–servants and maid–servants, and I had likewise those born in my house; I had also great possessions of cattle and flocks above all that had been before me in Jerusalem.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I gathered unto myself also silver and gold, and the choice treasures of kings and of the provinces: I procured myself male singers and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men, wagons and chariots.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So was I great, and obtained more than all that had been before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ And whatsoever my eyes desired I refused them not; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart was rejoiced with all my toil, and this was my portion of all my toil.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ But when I turned myself on all my works that my hands had wrought, and on the toil that I had toiled to accomplish: then, behold, all was vanity and a torture of the spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ And then I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly; for what the man that cometh after the king? that which have done already.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:13 @ But I saw indeed that wisdom hath the advantage over folly, as great as the advantage of light over darkness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man hath his eyes in his head, while the fool walketh in darkness; but I myself perceived then also that one occurrence will befall all of them.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ Then said I in my heart, The same that befalleth the fool will also befall even me: and why have I then been wiser? Then spoke I in my heart, that this is also vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For there is no recollection of the wise any more than of the fool for ever: seeing that which hath long ago been will, in the days that are coming, all be forgotten. And how doth the wise die equally with the fool!

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ Therefore I hated life; because I felt displeased with the work that is wrought under the sun; for all is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ Yea, I hated also all my toil with which I had toiled under the sun; because I should have to leave it unto the man that will be after me.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ And who knoweth, whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have full sway over all my toil wherein I have toiled, and wherein I have shown myself wise under the sun. Also this is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to give up thinking of all the toil wherewith I had toiled under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ For there is many a man whose toil is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and with energy; yet to a man that hath not toiled therefore must he give it as his portion. Also this is vanity and a great evil.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what doth a man obtain of all his toil, and of the torture of his heart, wherewith he toileth under the sun?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are full of pains, and vexation is his employment: yea, even in the night his heart taketh not rest. Also this is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ It is not a good thing in man that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy happiness for his toil. Also this have I seen, that it cometh out of the hand of God.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:25 @ For who can well eat, or who can enjoy earthly things more than I?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For to a man who is good in his presence giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth employment, to gather up and to bring together, that he may give it to him that is good before God. Also this is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ For every thing there is a season; and a time is for every pursuit under the heavens.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what hath been planted;

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

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

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather up stones; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embracing;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @ A time to seek, and a time to let things be lost; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;

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

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

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @ What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he toileth?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the employment, which God hath given to the sons of men to busy themselves therewith.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ Every thing hath he made beautiful in its time: he hath also placed the eternity in their heart, without a man’s being able to find out the work that God hath made from the beginning to the end.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that there is nothing good in them, but for every one to rejoice and to do what is good during his life.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ For also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy what is good for all his toil, is likewise a gift of God.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that whatsoever God doth, that will be for ever; to it nothing can be added, and from it there is nothing to be diminished: and God hath so made it, that men should be afraid of him.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @ That which hath been hath long since appeared; and what is to be hath already been; and God seeketh that which is sped away.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ And moreover I have seen under the sun, the place of justice, even there was wickedness; and the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time for every pursuit; and on account of every deed there.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @ I said in my heart concerning the speaking of the sons of men, that God might make it clear to them, and that they might see that they by themselves are but beasts.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even the same thing befalleth them; as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one kind of spirit: so that the preeminence of man above the beast is nought; for all is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @ Every thing goeth unto one place: every thing came from the dust, and every thing returneth to the dust.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of man that ascendeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that descendeth downward to the earth?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ And so did I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion; for who can bring him to look with pleasure on what will be after him?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ And I turned about, and beheld all the oppressed that are made so under the sun: and, behold, there are the tears of the oppressed, and they have no comforter; and from the hand of their oppressors they suffer violence; and they have no comforter.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ Thereupon praised I the dead that are already dead, more than the living who are still alive;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ And as happier than both of them, him who hath not yet come into being, who hath not seen the evil–doing that is done under the sun.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Again, I beheld all the toil, and all the energy in doing, that it is the envy of one man of his neighbor. Also this is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @ The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better is a handful of quiet, than both the hands full of toil and torture of spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:7 @ Then I turned about, and I saw a vanity under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ There is one alone, and he hath not a companion; yea, he hath neither son nor brother: yet is there no end to all his toil; his eye also is not satisfied with riches. Yet for whom do I toil, and deprive my soul of good? Also this is vanity, yea, it is a bad employment.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @ Two are better than one; because they will have a good reward for their toil.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to the single one that falleth; for he hath no companion to lift him up.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @ Also, if two lie together, then will they become warm; but how can one person alone become warm?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ And if a man could overpower him, the single one, two would stand up against him: and a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn asunder.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @ Better is a poor and a wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to be admonished any more.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ For out of the prison cometh the one to reign: whereas also in his kingdom the other becometh poor.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @ I have seen all the living who walk under the sun, being with the second child that is to stand up in his stead.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ There was no end to all the people, to all that have been before them: they also that come after will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a torture of the spirit.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is great on men:

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ a man to whom God hath given riches, property, and honor, and nothing is wanting for his soul of all that he longeth for: yet God empowereth him not to eat thereof, but a stranger will consume it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man were to beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years were many, and his soul were not satisfied with what is good, and he have not had even a burial: then do I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ For in vanity it came, and in darkness it departeth, and with darkness will its name be covered.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @ Moreover it never saw the sun, and knew nothing: this hath more rest than the other.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @ Yea, though he were to live a thousand years twice told, and had not seen any good–– doth not every one go to one place?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @ All the toil of a man is for his mouth; and yet is his desire never filled.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @ Better is what one seeth with the eyes than the wandering of the desire. Also this is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ That which hath been is already called by its name, and it is known that he is a man: and he is not able to contend with him that is mightier than he.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @ For there are many things that increase vanity: what advantage for man?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, the number of the days of his vain life, that he should spend them as a shadow? for who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @ A good name is better than precious oil, and the day of death, better than the day of one’s birth.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; inasmuch as that is the end of all men: and let the living lay it to his heart.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @ Better is vexation than laughing; for through the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:4 @ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of joy.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than that a man should hear the song of fools.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. Also this is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ For oppression maketh a wise man mad; and bribery corrupteth the heart.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @ Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: better is the patient in spirit than the proud in spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @ Be not rash in thy spirit to be angry; for anger resteth in bosom of fools.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Thou must not say, How was it that the former days were better than these? for it is not out of wisdom that thou askest concerning this.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Wisdom is better than an inheritance, yea, preferable for those that see the sun;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For under the shadow of wisdom under the shadow of money; but the superior excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to him that possesseth it.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @ Consider the work of God; for who can make straight what he hath made crooked?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ On the day of prosperity be happy, but on the day of adversity look on: also this hath God made in equal measure with the other, to the end that man should not find the least to censure him.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is many a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is many a wicked man that liveth long in his wickedness.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @ Be not righteous over much; neither show thyself over wise: why wouldst thou destroy thyself?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @ Be not wicked over much, and be no fool: why wouldst thou die before thy time?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that thou shouldst take hold of that, and that also from this thou withdraw not thy hand; for he that feareth God will come forth out of them all.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ Wisdom giveth more strength to the wise than ten rulers which were in the city.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ For no man is so righteous upon earth, that he should do always good, and never sin.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ Also take no heed unto all the words that are spoken: lest thou hear thy servant cursing thee.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ For oftentimes also doth thy own heart know that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.––

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

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:24 @ Far is what formerly was so, and what was deep remaineth deep: who can find it out?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ Then I turned myself about together with my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and experience, and to know the wickedness of folly, and the foolishness of madness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @ And I find as more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bonds: he that is deemed good before God will escape from her; but the sinner will be caught by her.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ Behold, this have I found, saith Koheleth, one to the other, to find experience,

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ What my soul constantly sought, but I found it not; one man among a thousand did I find; but a woman among all these did I not find.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who is like the wise? and who knoweth the explanation of a thing? a man’s wisdom enlighteneth his face, and the boldness of his face will be lessened.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @ Be not hasty to go out of his presence; engage not in an evil thing; for whatsoever pleaseth him, can he do;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @ Because the word of a king is powerful; and who may say unto him, What doest thou?––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ Whoso keepeth the commandment will experience no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart knoweth both time and the just consequence.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ Because for every pursuit there is a time and a just consequence; for the evil of man heavily upon him.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:7 @ For he knoweth not that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No man hath control over the spirit to detain the spirit; and there is no control over the day of death; and there is no representation in that war; and wickedness will not deliver those that practise it.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this have I seen, and directed my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time when one man ruleth over another to his own injury.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ Then also did I see the wicked buried, who had gone to their rest; but those who had acted correctly had to go away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city. Also this is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because the punishment against evil deeds is not executed speedily, therefore is the heart of the sons of men filled up in them to do evil.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ But let a sinner do evil a hundred times, and withhold long his punishment from him; still do I truly know for certain that it will be well with those that fear God, because they are afraid of him;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ And that it will not be well with the wicked, and that he will not endure many days, like the shadow; because he is not afraid of God.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men, unto whom it happeneth in accordance with the deeds of the wicked; again, there are wicked men, to whom it happeneth in accordance with the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ Therefore do I praise joyfulness, that there is nothing better for man under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful; for this will adhere to him in his toil, during the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the employment that is done upon the earth, how even neither by day nor by night sleep is seen in the eyes of some men:

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ Then did I see the whole work of God, that a man is not able to find out the work that is done under the sun; inasmuch as though a man were to toil to seek for it, he would yet not find it; and even if the wise were to think to know it, he would yet not be able to find it.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ For all this did I reflect over in my heart and to explain all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their services, are in the hand of God: that man knoweth neither love nor hatred; it is all before them;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ Every thing as it is to happen to all; there is but one occurrence for the righteous, and for the wicked; for the good and for the clean, and for the unclean; and for him that sacrificeth, and for him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one occurrence for all, and that also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and that madness is in their heart while they live, and after this they go to the dead.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ For whoever is yet united with all the living hath still hope; for a living dog fareth better than a dead lion.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die; but the dead know not the least; nor have they longer any reward; for their memory is forgotten.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, are now already lost; and they will have never more a portion in all that is done under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat with joy thy bread, and drink with a merry heart thy wine, if God have already received thy works in favor.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @ At all times let thy garments be white, and let oil not be wanting on thy head.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which God hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity; for this is thy portion in this life, and in thy toil with which thou toilest under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do with thy might, that do; for there is no work, nor experience, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the nether world, whither thou goest.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I turned about, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the mighty; and that also the wise have no bread, nor yet the men of understanding riches, nor yet men of knowledge favor; but time and fate will overtake them all.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man also knoweth not his time, like the fishes that are caught in an evil net, and like the birds that are caught in the snare: like these are the sons of men ensnared at an evil time, when it falleth upon them suddenly.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ Also in this manner have I seen wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city, and the men therein were few; and there came against it a great king, who enclosed it, and built around it great works of siege;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom; yet no man had thought of that same poor man.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ Then said I, Wisdom is better than might: although the poor man’s wisdom is held in contempt, and his words are not heard.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of wise men heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @ Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner causes much good to be lost.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies cause the precious oil of the apothecary to become stinking and foaming; so doth a little folly him that is valued for wisdom and honor.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ The heart of a wise man is at his right hand; but the heart of a fool is at his left.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Yea also, on whatever way the fool walketh, doth he lack proper sense, and he saith to all that he is a fool.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for submissiveness causeth great offences to be avoided.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ Folly is set in great high places, and the rich sit in lowness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @ I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants upon the ground.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @ He that diggeth a pit will fall into it; and him who breaketh down a fence––a serpent will bite him.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ Whoso removeth stones will be hurt through them; and he that cleaveth wood will be endangered thereby.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron be blunt, and man do not whet the edge, then must he exert more strength; but the advantage of making it properly sharp is wisdom.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ If the serpent do bite because no one uttered a charm, then hath the man that can use his tongue no preference.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise man’s mouth grace; but the lips of a fool will destroy himself.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the last that cometh out of his mouth is evil–bringing madness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ The fool also multiplieth words; a man cannot know what is to be; and what is to be after him, who can tell him?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The toil of the foolish will weary every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is lowminded, and when thy princes eat in the morning!

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is noble–spirited, and thy princes eat in proper time, for strengthening, and not for gluttony!––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ Through slothful hands the rafters will sink; and through idleness of the hands the house will become leaky.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ For gay pleasure they prepare a feast, and wine is to make the living joyful; but money procureth all things.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Even in thy thought thou must not curse a king; and in thy bed–chambers do not curse the rich; for a bird of the air can carry the sound, and that which hath wings can tell the word.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @ Cast thy bread upon the face of the waters; for after many days wilt thou find it again.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a portion to seven, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what evil may come upon the earth.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds be full of rain, they will empty it out upon the earth; and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, on the place where the tree falleth, there will it remain.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:4 @ He that watcheth the wind will not sow; and he that gazeth on the clouds will not reap.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @ As thou knowest not which is the way of the wind, as little as what is enclosed in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou canst not know the works of God who maketh all.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening let not thy hand rest; for thou knowest not which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both of them will be alike good.
