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

rsv@Job:1:2 @ There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.

rsv@Job:1:3 @ He had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east.

rsv@Job:1:4 @ His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each on his day; and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

rsv@Job:1:5 @ And when the days of the feast had run their course, 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 continually.

rsv@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.

rsv@Job:1:7 @ The LORD said to Satan, "Whence have you come?" Satan answered the LORD, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."

rsv@Job:1:8 @ And 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, who fears God and turns away from evil?"

rsv@Job:1:10 @ Hast thou not put a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

rsv@Job:1:11 @ But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse thee to thy face."

rsv@Job:1:12 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only upon himself do not put forth your hand." So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

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

rsv@Job:1:14 @ and there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing and the asses feeding beside them;

rsv@Job:1:15 @ and the Sabe'ans fell upon them and took them, and slew the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."

rsv@Job:1:16 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, 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."

rsv@Job:1:17 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "The Chalde'ans formed three companies, and made a raid upon the camels and took them, and slew the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."

rsv@Job:1:18 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;

rsv@Job:1:19 @ and behold, a great wind came across the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you."

rsv@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshiped.

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

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

rsv@Job:2:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Whence have you come?" Satan answered the LORD, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."

rsv@Job:2:3 @ And 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, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause."

rsv@Job:2:5 @ But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face."

rsv@Job:2:6 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your power; only spare his life."

rsv@Job:2:7 @ So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and afflicted Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

rsv@Job:2:8 @ And he took a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and sat among the ashes.

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

rsv@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

rsv@Job:2:11 @ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eli'phaz the Te'manite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Na'amathite. They made an appointment together to come to condole with him and comfort him.

rsv@Job:2:12 @ And when they saw him from afar, they did not recognize him; and they raised their voices and wept; and they rent their robes and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

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

rsv@Job:3:1 @ After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.

rsv@Job:3:2 @ And Job said:

rsv@Job:3:3 @ "Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which said, ` man-child is conceived.'

rsv@Job:3:5 @ Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

rsv@Job:3:11 @ "Why did I not die at birth, come forth from the womb and expire?

rsv@Job:3:13 @ For then I should have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then I should have been at rest,

rsv@Job:3:14 @ with kings and counselors of the earth who rebuilt ruins for themselves,

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

rsv@Job:3:19 @ The small and the great are there, and the slave is free from his master.

rsv@Job:3:20 @ "Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,

rsv@Job:3:21 @ who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

rsv@Job:3:22 @ who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they find the grave?

rsv@Job:3:24 @ For my sighing comes as my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.

rsv@Job:3:25 @ For the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.

rsv@Job:4:3 @ Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.

rsv@Job:4:4 @ Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.

rsv@Job:4:5 @ But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed.

rsv@Job:4:6 @ Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?

rsv@Job:4:8 @ As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.

rsv@Job:4:9 @ By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.

rsv@Job:4:11 @ The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.

rsv@Job:4:14 @ dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.

rsv@Job:4:18 @ Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;

rsv@Job:4:20 @ Between morning and evening they are destroyed; they perish for ever without any regarding it.

rsv@Job:4:21 @ If their tent-cord is plucked up within them, do they not die, and that without wisdom?'

rsv@Job:5:2 @ Surely vexation kills the fool, and jealousy slays the simple.

rsv@Job:5:4 @ His sons are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and there is no one to deliver them.

rsv@Job:5:5 @ His harvest the hungry eat, and he takes it even out of thorns; and the thirsty pant after his wealth.

rsv@Job:5:8 @ "As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause;

rsv@Job:5:9 @ who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number:

rsv@Job:5:10 @ he gives rain upon the earth and sends waters upon the fields;

rsv@Job:5:11 @ he sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.

rsv@Job:5:12 @ He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.

rsv@Job:5:13 @ He takes the wise in their own craftiness; and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.

rsv@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night.

rsv@Job:5:15 @ But he saves the fatherless from their mouth, the needy from the hand of the mighty.

rsv@Job:5:16 @ So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.

rsv@Job:5:18 @ For he wounds, but he binds up; he smites, but his hands heal.

rsv@Job:5:20 @ In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.

rsv@Job:5:21 @ You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes.

rsv@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the beasts of the earth.

rsv@Job:5:23 @ For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.

rsv@Job:5:24 @ You shall know that your tent is safe, and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.

rsv@Job:5:25 @ You shall know also that your descendants shall be many, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.

rsv@Job:5:27 @ Lo, this we have searched out; it is true. Hear, and know it for your good."

rsv@Job:6:2 @ "O that my vexation were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!

rsv@Job:6:3 @ For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash.

rsv@Job:6:8 @ "O that I might have my request, and that God would grant my desire;

rsv@Job:6:9 @ that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!

rsv@Job:6:11 @ What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?

rsv@Job:6:13 @ In truth I have no help in me, and any resource is driven from me.

rsv@Job:6:16 @ which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.

rsv@Job:6:18 @ The caravans turn aside from their course; they go up into the waste, and perish.

rsv@Job:6:20 @ They are disappointed because they were confident; they come thither and are confounded.

rsv@Job:6:21 @ Such you have now become to me; you see my calamity, and are afraid.

rsv@Job:6:23 @ Or, `y's hand'? Or, `ppressors'?

rsv@Job:6:24 @ "Teach me, and I will be silent; make me understand how I have erred.

rsv@Job:6:27 @ You would even cast lots over the fatherless, and bargain over your friend.

rsv@Job:7:1 @ "Has not man a hard service upon earth, and are not his days like the days of a hireling?

rsv@Job:7:2 @ Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like a hireling who looks for his wages,

rsv@Job:7:3 @ so I am allotted months of emptiness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me.

rsv@Job:7:4 @ When I lie down I say, `en I lie down I say, "When shall I arise?' But the night is long, and I am full of tossing till the dawn.

rsv@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt; my skin hardens, then breaks out afresh.

rsv@Job:7:6 @ My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and come to their end without hope.

rsv@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud fades and vanishes, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up;

rsv@Job:7:14 @ then thou dost scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,

rsv@Job:7:15 @ so that I would choose strangling and death rather than my bones.

rsv@Job:7:17 @ What is man, that thou dost make so much of him, and that thou dost set thy mind upon him,

rsv@Job:7:18 @ dost visit him every morning, and test him every moment?

rsv@Job:7:21 @ Why dost thou not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; thou wilt seek me, but I shall not be."

rsv@Job:8:2 @ "How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a great wind?

rsv@Job:8:5 @ If you will seek God and make supplication to the Almighty,

rsv@Job:8:6 @ if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and reward you with a rightful habitation.

rsv@Job:8:7 @ And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.

rsv@Job:8:8 @ "For inquire, I pray you, of bygone ages, and consider what the fathers have found;

rsv@Job:8:9 @ for we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow.

rsv@Job:8:10 @ Will they not teach you, and tell you, and utter words out of their understanding?

rsv@Job:8:12 @ While yet in flower and not cut down, they wither before any other plant.

rsv@Job:8:14 @ His confidence breaks in sunder, and his trust is a spider's web.

rsv@Job:8:15 @ He leans against his house, but it does not stand; he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.

rsv@Job:8:16 @ He thrives before the sun, and his shoots spread over his garden.

rsv@Job:8:19 @ Behold, this is the joy of his way; and out of the earth others will spring.

rsv@Job:8:20 @ "Behold, God will not reject a blameless man, nor take the hand of evildoers.

rsv@Job:8:21 @ He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting.

rsv@Job:8:22 @ Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more."

rsv@Job:9:3 @ If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times.

rsv@Job:9:4 @ He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength --who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?--

rsv@Job:9:5 @ he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger;

rsv@Job:9:6 @ who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble;

rsv@Job:9:7 @ who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars;

rsv@Job:9:8 @ who alone stretched out the heavens, and trampled the waves of the sea;

rsv@Job:9:9 @ who made the Bear and Orion, the Plei'ades and the chambers of the south;

rsv@Job:9:10 @ who does great things beyond understanding, and marvelous things without number.

rsv@Job:9:11 @ Lo, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him.

rsv@Job:9:16 @ If I summoned him and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.

rsv@Job:9:17 @ For he crushes me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause;

rsv@Job:9:22 @ It is all one; therefore I say, he destroys both the blameless and the wicked.

rsv@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covers the faces of its judges-- if it is not he, who then is it?

rsv@Job:9:27 @ If I say, ` I say, "I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer,'

rsv@Job:9:30 @ If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,

rsv@Job:9:31 @ yet thou wilt plunge me into a pit, and my own clothes will abhor me.

rsv@Job:9:33 @ There is no umpire between us, who might lay his hand upon us both.

rsv@Job:9:34 @ Let him take his rod away from me, and let not dread of him terrify me.

rsv@Job:10:3 @ Does it seem good to thee to oppress, to despise the work of thy hands and favor the designs of the wicked?

rsv@Job:10:6 @ that thou dost seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,

rsv@Job:10:7 @ although thou knowest that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of thy hand?

rsv@Job:10:8 @ Thy hands fashioned and made me; and now thou dost turn about and destroy me.

rsv@Job:10:9 @ Remember that thou hast made me of clay; and wilt thou turn me to dust again?

rsv@Job:10:10 @ Didst thou not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?

rsv@Job:10:11 @ Thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.

rsv@Job:10:12 @ Thou hast granted me life and steadfast love; and thy care has preserved my spirit.

rsv@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, thou dost mark me, and dost not acquit me of my iniquity.

rsv@Job:10:15 @ If I am wicked, woe to me! If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look upon my affliction.

rsv@Job:10:16 @ And if I lift myself up, thou dost hunt me like a lion, and again work wonders against me;

rsv@Job:10:17 @ thou dost renew thy witnesses against me, and increase thy vexation toward me; thou dost bring fresh hosts against me.

rsv@Job:10:19 @ and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.

rsv@Job:10:21 @ before I go whence I shall not return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness,

rsv@Job:10:22 @ the land of gloom and chaos, where light is as darkness."

rsv@Job:11:2 @ "Should a multitude of words go unanswered, and a man full of talk be vindicated?

rsv@Job:11:3 @ Should your babble silence men, and when you mock, shall no one shame you?

rsv@Job:11:4 @ For you say, `r you say, "My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God's eyes.'

rsv@Job:11:5 @ But oh, that God would speak, and open his lips to you,

rsv@Job:11:6 @ and that he would tell you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.

rsv@Job:11:9 @ Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

rsv@Job:11:10 @ If he passes through, and imprisons, and calls to judgment, who can hinder him?

rsv@Job:11:12 @ But a stupid man will get understanding, when a wild ass's colt is born a man.

rsv@Job:11:13 @ "If you set your heart aright, you will stretch out your hands toward him.

rsv@Job:11:14 @ If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tents.

rsv@Job:11:15 @ Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be secure, and will not fear.

rsv@Job:11:17 @ And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.

rsv@Job:11:18 @ And you will have confidence, because there is hope; you will be protected and take your rest in safety.

rsv@Job:11:19 @ You will lie down, and none will make you afraid; many will entreat your favor.

rsv@Job:11:20 @ But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last."

rsv@Job:12:2 @ "No doubt you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.

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

rsv@Job:12:4 @ I am a laughingstock to my friends; I, who called upon God and he answered me, a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.

rsv@Job:12:6 @ The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke God are secure, who bring their god in their hand.

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

rsv@Job:12:8 @ or the plants of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you.

rsv@Job:12:9 @ Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?

rsv@Job:12:10 @ In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

rsv@Job:12:12 @ Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days.

rsv@Job:12:17 @ He leads counselors away stripped, and judges he makes fools.

rsv@Job:12:18 @ He looses the bonds of kings, and binds a waistcloth on their loins.

rsv@Job:12:19 @ He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.

rsv@Job:12:20 @ He deprives of speech those who are trusted, and takes away the discernment of the elders.

rsv@Job:12:21 @ He pours contempt on princes, and looses the belt of the strong.

rsv@Job:12:22 @ He uncovers the deeps out of darkness, and brings deep darkness to light.

rsv@Job:12:23 @ He makes nations great, and he destroys them: he enlarges nations, and leads them away.

rsv@Job:12:24 @ He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and makes them wander in a pathless waste.

rsv@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light; and he makes them stagger like a drunken man.

rsv@Job:13:1 @ "Lo, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I have seen everything that is done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ I said to myself, "I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge."

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:2 @ I said of laughter, "It is mad," and of pleasure, "What use is it?"

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched with my mind how to cheer my body with wine--my mind still guiding me 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 during the few days of their life.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:4 @ I made great works; I built houses and planted vineyards for myself;

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @ I bought male and female slaves, and had slaves who were born in my house; I had also great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces; I got singers, both men and women, and many concubines, man's delight.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom remained with me.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them; I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had spent in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what he has already done.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness; and yet I perceived that one fate comes to all of them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ Then I said to myself, "What befalls the fool will befall me also; why then have I been so very wise?" And I said to myself that this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ and who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ So I turned about and gave my heart up to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ because sometimes a man who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave all to be enjoyed by a man who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ What has a man from all the toil and strain with which he toils beneath the sun?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are full of pain, and his work is a vexation; even in the night his mind does not rest. This also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For to the man who pleases him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and heaping, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

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

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

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

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

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ also that it is God's gift to man that every one should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @ That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ Moreover I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for he has appointed a time for every matter, and for every work.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @ All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down to the earth?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ Again I saw all the oppressions that are practiced under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ And I thought the dead who are already dead more fortunate than the living who are still alive;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ but better than both is he who has not yet been, and has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @ The fool folds his hands, and eats his own flesh.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ a person who has no one, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, "For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?" This also is vanity and an unhappy business.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @ Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who will no longer take advice,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @ I saw all the living who move about under the sun, as well as that youth, who was to stand in his place;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ there was no end of all the people; he was over all of them. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @ Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven, and you upon earth; therefore let your words be few.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @ For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:5 @ It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Let not your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake; why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see in a province the poor oppressed and justice and right violently taken away, do not be amazed at the matter; for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @ But in all, a king is an advantage to a land with cultivated fields.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @ When goods increase, they increase who eat them; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @ and those riches were lost in a bad venture; and he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @ As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil, which he may carry away in his hand.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go; and what gain has he that he toiled for the wind,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @ and spent all his days in darkness and grief, in much vexation and sickness and resentment?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @ Behold, what I have seen to be good and to be fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life which God has given him, for this is his lot.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @ Every man also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and find enjoyment in his toil--this is the gift of God.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy upon men:

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them; this is vanity; it is a sore affliction.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man begets a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but he does not enjoy life's good things, and also has no burial, I say that an untimely birth is better off than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ For it comes into vanity and goes into darkness, and in darkness its name is covered;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @ Even though he should live a thousand years twice told, yet enjoy no good--do not all go to the one place?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire; this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @ The more words, the more vanity, and what is man the better?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @ A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death, than the day of birth.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for this is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to heart.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ Surely oppression makes the wise man foolish, and a bribe corrupts the mind.

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money; and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ In my vain life I have seen everything; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evil-doing.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @ Be not righteous overmuch, and do not make yourself overwise; why should you destroy yourself?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand; for he who fears God shall come forth from them all.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:24 @ That which is, is far off, and deep, very deep; who can find it out?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ I turned my mind to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the sum of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness which is madness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @ And I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters; he who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ which my mind has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @ Keep the king's command, and because of your sacred oath be not dismayed;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @ For the word of the king is supreme, and who may say to him, "What are you doing?"

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ He who obeys a command will meet no harm, and the mind of a wise man will know the time and way.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ For every matter has its time and way, although man's trouble lies heavy upon him.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ Then I saw the wicked buried; they used to go in and out of the holy place, and were praised in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which takes place on earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ And I commend enjoyment, for man has no good thing under the sun but to eat and drink, and enjoy himself, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of life which God gives him under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my mind to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night one's eyes see sleep;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hate man does not know. Everything before them is vanity,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ since one fate comes to all, to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good man, so is the sinner; and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that one fate comes to all; also the hearts of men are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward; but the memory of them is lost.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and they have no more for ever any share in all that is done under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already approved what you do.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain life which he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to the men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man does not know his time. Like fish which are taken in an evil net, and like birds which are caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ I have also seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it and besieged it, building great siegeworks against it.

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ But I say that wisdom is better than might, though the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heeded.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off an evil odor; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to every one that he is a fool.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ folly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @ I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking on foot like slaves.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @ He who digs a pit will fall into it; and a serpent will bite him who breaks through a wall.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ He who quarries stones is hurt by them; and he who splits logs is endangered by them.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron is blunt, and one does not whet the edge, he must put forth more strength; but wisdom helps one to succeed.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is wicked madness.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ A fool multiplies words, though no man knows what is to be, and who can tell him what will be after him?

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of free men, and your princes feast at the proper time, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ Through sloth the roof sinks in, and through indolence the house leaks.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ Bread is made for laughter, and wine gladdens life, and money answers everything.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:4 @ He who observes the wind will not sow; and he who regards the clouds will not reap.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun.

rsv@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 the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @ Remove vexation from your mind, and put away pain from your body; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when you will say, "I have no pleasure in them";

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @ before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return after the rain;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look through the windows are dimmed,

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @ and the doors on the street are shut; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along and desire fails; because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @ and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:9 @ Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging proverbs with great care.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:10 @ The Preacher sought to find pleasing words, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @ The sayings of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings which are given by one Shepherd.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @ My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:12:13 @ The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

rsv@Songs:1:4 @ Draw me after you, let us make haste. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more than wine; rightly do they love you.

rsv@Songs:1:7 @ Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you pasture your flock, where you make it lie down at noon; for why should I be like one who wanders beside the flocks of your companions?

rsv@Songs:1:8 @ If you do not know, O fairest among women, follow in the tracks of the flock, and pasture your kids beside the shepherds' tents.

rsv@Songs:2:3 @ As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

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

rsv@Songs:2:6 @ O that his left hand were under my head, and that his right hand embraced me!

rsv@Songs:2:9 @ My beloved is like a gazelle, or a young stag. Behold, there he stands behind our wall, gazing in at the windows, looking through the lattice.

rsv@Songs:2:10 @ My beloved speaks and says to me: "Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away;

rsv@Songs:2:11 @ for lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.

rsv@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.

rsv@Songs:2:13 @ The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines are in blossom; they give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

rsv@Songs:2:14 @ O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet, and your face is comely.

rsv@Songs:2:16 @ My beloved is mine and I am his, he pastures his flock among the lilies.

rsv@Songs:2:17 @ Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle, or a young stag upon rugged mountains.

rsv@Songs:3:2 @ "I will rise now and go about the city, in the streets and in the squares; I will seek him whom my soul loves." I sought him, but found him not.

rsv@Songs:3:4 @ Scarcely had I passed them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

rsv@Songs:3:6 @ What is that coming up from the wilderness, like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?

rsv@Songs:3:8 @ all girt with swords and expert in war, each with his sword at his thigh, against alarms by night.

rsv@Songs:3:11 @ Go forth, O daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon, with the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, on the day of the gladness of his heart.

rsv@Songs:4:2 @ Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and not one among them is bereaved.

rsv@Songs:4:3 @ Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.

rsv@Songs:4:4 @ Your neck is like the tower of David, built for an arsenal, whereon hang a thousand bucklers, all of them shields of warriors.

rsv@Songs:4:6 @ Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, I will hie me to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense.

rsv@Songs:4:8 @ Come with me from Lebanon, my bride; come with me from Lebanon. Depart from the peak of Ama'na, from the peak of Senir and Hermon, from the dens of lions, from the mountains of leopards.

rsv@Songs:4:10 @ How sweet is your love, my sister, my bride! how much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!

rsv@Songs:4:11 @ Your lips distil nectar, my bride; honey and milk are under your tongue; the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon.

rsv@Songs:4:14 @ nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices--

rsv@Songs:4:15 @ a garden fountain, a well of living water, and flowing streams from Lebanon.

rsv@Songs:4:16 @ Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind! Blow upon my garden, let its fragrance be wafted abroad. Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits.

rsv@Songs:5:1 @ I come to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gather my myrrh with my spice, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink: drink deeply, O lovers!

rsv@Songs:5:4 @ My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me.

rsv@Songs:5:5 @ I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt.

rsv@Songs:5:6 @ I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer.

rsv@Songs:5:10 @ My beloved is all radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand.

rsv@Songs:5:16 @ His speech is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

rsv@Songs:6:2 @ My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

rsv@Songs:6:3 @ I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

rsv@Songs:6:8 @ There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.

rsv@Songs:6:9 @ My dove, my perfect one, is only one, the darling of her mother, flawless to her that bore her. The maidens saw her and called her happy; the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.

rsv@Songs:7:1 @ How graceful are your feet in sandals, O queenly maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.

rsv@Songs:7:5 @ Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.

rsv@Songs:7:6 @ How fair and pleasant you are, O loved one, delectable maiden!

rsv@Songs:7:7 @ You are stately as a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters.

rsv@Songs:7:8 @ I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples,

rsv@Songs:7:9 @ and your kisses like the best wine that goes down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth.

rsv@Songs:7:10 @ I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.

rsv@Songs:7:11 @ Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages;

rsv@Songs:7:12 @ let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.
