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:1:7 @ 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:1:12 @ 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:1:16 @ 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:1:18 @ 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:1:22 @ In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.

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:2:7 @ 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:2:11 @ 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:3:8 @ Let those curse it who curse the day, who are skilled to rouse up Levi'athan.

rsv@Job:3:10 @ because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes.

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

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

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

rsv@Job:4:2 @ "If one ventures a word with you, will you be offended? Yet who can keep from speaking?

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

rsv@Job:4:10 @ The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

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

rsv@Job:4:12 @ "Now a word was brought to me stealthily, my ear received the whisper of it.

rsv@Job:4:13 @ Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

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:5:3 @ I have seen the fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.

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:5:6 @ For affliction does not come from the dust, nor does trouble sprout from the ground;

rsv@Job:5:7 @ but man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward.

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:5:17 @ "Behold, happy is the man whom God reproves; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty.

rsv@Job:5:19 @ He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven there shall no evil touch you.

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:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.

rsv@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?

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

rsv@Job:6:14 @ "He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

rsv@Job:6:15 @ My brethren are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as freshets that pass away,

rsv@Job:6:17 @ In time of heat they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.

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

rsv@Job:6:22 @ Have I said, `Make me a gift'? Or, `From your wealth offer a bribe for me'?

rsv@Job:6:25 @ How forceful are honest words! But what does reproof from you reprove?

rsv@Job:6:26 @ Do you think that you can reprove words, when the speech of a despairing man is wind?

rsv@Job:6:29 @ Turn, I pray, let no wrong be done. Turn now, my vindication is at stake.

rsv@Job:6:30 @ Is there any wrong on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern calamity?

rsv@Job:7:19 @ How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow my spittle?

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:8:11 @ "Can papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Can reeds flourish where there is no water?

rsv@Job:8:17 @ His roots twine about the stoneheap; he lives among the rocks.

rsv@Job:8:18 @ If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, `ng, "I have never seen you.'

rsv@Job:9:20 @ Though I am innocent, my own mouth would condemn me; though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.

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

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

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

rsv@Job:10:18 @ "Why didst thou bring me forth from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me,

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

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

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

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

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:13:12 @ Your maxims are proverbs of ashes, your defenses are defenses of clay.

rsv@Job:13:20 @ Only grant two things to me, then I will not hide myself from thy face:

rsv@Job:13:21 @ withdraw thy hand far from me, and let not dread of thee terrify me.

rsv@Job:13:28 @ Man wastes away like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.

rsv@Job:14:1 @ "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

rsv@Job:14:6 @ look away from him, and desist, that he may enjoy, like a hireling, his day.

rsv@Job:14:7 @ "For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease.

rsv@Job:14:8 @ Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stump die in the ground,

rsv@Job:14:11 @ As waters fail from a lake, and a river wastes away and dries up,

rsv@Job:14:12 @ so man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake, or be roused out of his sleep.

rsv@Job:14:18 @ "But the mountain falls and crumbles away, and the rock is removed from its place;

rsv@Job:14:19 @ the waters wear away the stones; the torrents wash away the soil of the earth; so thou destroyest the hope of man.

rsv@Job:14:21 @ His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he perceives it not.

rsv@Job:15:3 @ Should he argue in unprofitable talk, or in words with which he can do no good?

rsv@Job:15:7 @ "Are you the first man that was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?

rsv@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man writhes in pain all his days, through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.

rsv@Job:15:21 @ Terrifying sounds are in his ears; in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.

rsv@Job:15:23 @ He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ` wanders abroad for bread, saying, "Where is it?' He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;

rsv@Job:15:29 @ he will not be rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will he strike root in the earth;

rsv@Job:15:30 @ he will not escape from darkness; the flame will dry up his shoots, and his blossom will be swept away by the wind.

rsv@Job:16:3 @ Shall windy words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?

rsv@Job:16:12 @ I was at ease, and he broke me asunder; he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces; he set me up as his target,

rsv@Job:16:13 @ his archers surround me. He slashes open my kidneys, and does not spare; he pours out my gall on the ground.

rsv@Job:17:1 @ My spirit is broken, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.

rsv@Job:17:2 @ Surely there are mockers about me, and my eye dwells on their provocation.

rsv@Job:17:5 @ He who informs against his friends to get a share of their property, the eyes of his children will fail.

rsv@Job:17:7 @ My eye has grown dim from grief, and all my members are like a shadow.

rsv@Job:17:9 @ Yet the righteous holds to his way, and he that has clean hands grows stronger and stronger.

rsv@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, my plans are broken off, the desires of my heart.

rsv@Job:18:4 @ You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you, or the rock be removed out of its place?

rsv@Job:18:7 @ His strong steps are shortened and his own schemes throw him down.

rsv@Job:18:10 @ A rope is hid for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path.

rsv@Job:18:11 @ Terrors frighten him on every side, and chase him at his heels.

rsv@Job:18:14 @ He is torn from the tent in which he trusted, and is brought to the king of terrors.

rsv@Job:18:16 @ His roots dry up beneath, and his branches wither above.

rsv@Job:18:17 @ His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street.

rsv@Job:18:18 @ He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world.

rsv@Job:18:20 @ They of the west are appalled at his day, and horror seizes them of the east.

rsv@Job:19:3 @ These ten times you have cast reproach upon me; are you not ashamed to wrong me?

rsv@Job:19:4 @ And even if it be true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.

rsv@Job:19:6 @ know then that God has put me in the wrong, and closed his net about me.

rsv@Job:19:9 @ He has stripped from me my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

rsv@Job:19:12 @ His troops come on together; they have cast up siegeworks against me, and encamp round about my tent.

rsv@Job:19:13 @ "He has put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.

rsv@Job:19:24 @ Oh that with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!

rsv@Job:19:26 @ and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then from my flesh I shall see God,

rsv@Job:20:4 @ Do you not know this from of old, since man was placed upon earth,

rsv@Job:20:18 @ He will give back the fruit of his toil, and will not swallow it down; from the profit of his trading he will get no enjoyment.

rsv@Job:20:21 @ There was nothing left after he had eaten; therefore his prosperity will not endure.

rsv@Job:20:24 @ He will flee from an iron weapon; a bronze arrow will strike him through.

rsv@Job:20:25 @ It is drawn forth and comes out of his body, the glittering point comes out of his gall; terrors come upon him.

rsv@Job:20:29 @ This is the wicked man's portion from God, the heritage decreed for him by God."

rsv@Job:21:7 @ Why do the wicked live, reach old age, and grow mighty in power?

rsv@Job:21:9 @ Their houses are safe from fear, and no rod of God is upon them.

rsv@Job:21:13 @ They spend their days in prosperity, and in peace they go down to Sheol.

rsv@Job:21:14 @ They say to God, `ey say to God, "Depart from us! We do not desire the knowledge of thy ways.

rsv@Job:21:15 @ What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit do we get if we pray to him?'

rsv@Job:21:16 @ Behold, is not their prosperity in their hand? The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

rsv@Job:21:23 @ One dies in full prosperity, being wholly at ease and secure,

rsv@Job:21:24 @ his body full of fat and the marrow of his bones moist.

rsv@Job:21:27 @ "Behold, I know your thoughts, and your schemes to wrong me.

rsv@Job:21:29 @ Have you not asked those who travel the roads, and do you not accept their testimony

rsv@Job:22:2 @ "Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

rsv@Job:22:4 @ Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you, and enters into judgment with you?

rsv@Job:22:6 @ For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

rsv@Job:22:7 @ You have given no water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.

rsv@Job:22:10 @ Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden terror overwhelms you;

rsv@Job:22:13 @ Therefore you say, `erefore you say, "What does God know? Can he judge through the deep darkness?

rsv@Job:22:15 @ Will you keep to the old way which wicked men have trod?

rsv@Job:22:17 @ They said to God, `ey said to God, "Depart from us,' and `d "What can the Almighty do to us?'

rsv@Job:22:18 @ Yet he filled their houses with good things-- but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

rsv@Job:22:22 @ Receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.

rsv@Job:22:23 @ If you return to the Almighty and humble yourself, if you remove unrighteousness far from your tents,

rsv@Job:22:29 @ For God abases the proud, but he saves the lowly.

rsv@Job:22:30 @ He delivers the innocent man; you will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."

rsv@Job:23:2 @ "Today also my complaint is bitter, his hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.

rsv@Job:23:12 @ I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured in my bosom the words of his mouth.

rsv@Job:24:4 @ They thrust the poor off the road; the poor of the earth all hide themselves.

rsv@Job:24:8 @ They are wet with the rain of the mountains, and cling to the rock for want of shelter.

rsv@Job:24:9 @ (There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast, and take in pledge the infant of the poor.)

rsv@Job:24:11 @ among the olive rows of the wicked they make oil; they tread the wine presses, but suffer thirst.

rsv@Job:24:12 @ From out of the city the dying groan, and the soul of the wounded cries for help; yet God pays no attention to their prayer.

rsv@Job:24:16 @ In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves up; they do not know the light.

rsv@Job:24:17 @ For deep darkness is morning to all of them; for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.

rsv@Job:24:19 @ Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters; so does Sheol those who have sinned.

rsv@Job:24:20 @ The squares of the town forget them; their name is no longer remembered; so wickedness is broken like a tree.'

rsv@Job:24:22 @ Yet God prolongs the life of the mighty by his power; they rise up when they despair of life.

rsv@Job:24:25 @ If it is not so, who will prove me a liar, and show that there is nothing in what I say?"

rsv@Job:26:4 @ With whose help have you uttered words, and whose spirit has come forth from you?

rsv@Job:27:5 @ Far be it from me to say that you are right; till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

rsv@Job:27:6 @ I hold fast my righteousness, and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.

rsv@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his cry, when trouble comes upon him?

rsv@Job:27:13 @ "This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage which oppressors receive from the Almighty:

rsv@Job:27:20 @ Terrors overtake him like a flood; in the night a whirlwind carries him off.

rsv@Job:27:22 @ It hurls at him without pity; he flees from its power in headlong flight.

rsv@Job:27:23 @ It claps its hands at him, and hisses at him from its place.

rsv@Job:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted from the ore.

rsv@Job:28:4 @ They open shafts in a valley away from where men live; they are forgotten by travelers, they hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.

rsv@Job:28:8 @ The proud beasts have not trodden it; the lion has not passed over it.

rsv@Job:28:9 @ "Man puts his hand to the flinty rock, and overturns mountains by the roots.

rsv@Job:28:10 @ He cuts out channels in the rocks, and his eye sees every precious thing.

rsv@Job:28:21 @ It is hid from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the birds of the air.

rsv@Job:28:28 @ And he said to man, `ehold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.'+"

rsv@Job:29:3 @ when his lamp shone upon my head, and by his light I walked through darkness;

rsv@Job:29:6 @ when my steps were washed with milk, and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

rsv@Job:29:8 @ the young men saw me and withdrew, and the aged rose and stood;

rsv@Job:29:9 @ the princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth;

rsv@Job:29:10 @ the voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

rsv@Job:29:11 @ When the ear heard, it called me blessed, and when the eye saw, it approved;

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

rsv@Job:29:17 @ I broke the fangs of the unrighteous, and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

rsv@Job:29:19 @ my roots spread out to the waters, with the dew all night on my branches,

rsv@Job:29:22 @ After I spoke they did not speak again, and my word dropped upon them.

rsv@Job:29:25 @ I chose their way, and sat as chief, and I dwelt like a king among his troops, like one who comforts mourners.

rsv@Job:30:2 @ What could I gain from the strength of their hands, men whose vigor is gone?

rsv@Job:30:3 @ Through want and hard hunger they gnaw the dry and desolate ground;

rsv@Job:30:4 @ they pick mallow and the leaves of bushes, and to warm themselves the roots of the broom.

rsv@Job:30:5 @ They are driven out from among men; they shout after them as after a thief.

rsv@Job:30:6 @ In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.

rsv@Job:30:8 @ A senseless, a disreputable brood, they have been whipped out of the land.

rsv@Job:30:10 @ They abhor me, they keep aloof from me; they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.

rsv@Job:30:13 @ They break up my path, they promote my calamity; no one restrains them.

rsv@Job:30:14 @ As through a wide breach they come; amid the crash they roll on.

rsv@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned upon me; my honor is pursued as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

rsv@Job:30:22 @ Thou liftest me up on the wind, thou makest me ride on it, and thou tossest me about in the roar of the storm.

rsv@Job:30:29 @ I am a brother of jackals, and a companion of ostriches.

rsv@Job:30:30 @ My skin turns black and falls from me, and my bones burn with heat.

rsv@Job:31:2 @ What would be my portion from God above, and my heritage from the Almighty on high?

rsv@Job:31:7 @ if my step has turned aside from the way, and my heart has gone after my eyes, and if any spot has cleaved to my hands;

rsv@Job:31:8 @ then let me sow, and another eat; and let what grows for me be rooted out.

rsv@Job:31:12 @ for that would be a fire which consumes unto Abaddon, and it would burn to the root all my increase.

rsv@Job:31:13 @ "If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me;

rsv@Job:31:36 @ Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me as a crown;

rsv@Job:31:38 @ "If my land has cried out against me, and its furrows have wept together;

rsv@Job:32:3 @ he was angry also at Job's three friends because they had found no answer, although they had declared Job to be in the wrong.

rsv@Job:33:6 @ Behold, I am toward God as you are; I too was formed from a piece of clay.

rsv@Job:33:18 @ he keeps back his soul from the Pit, his life from perishing by the sword.

rsv@Job:33:24 @ and he is gracious to him, and says, `eliver him from going down into the Pit, I have found a ransom;

rsv@Job:33:30 @ to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may see the light of life.

rsv@Job:34:9 @ For he has said, `r he has said, "It profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God.'

rsv@Job:34:10 @ "Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding, far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.

rsv@Job:35:7 @ If you are righteous, what do you give to him; or what does he receive from your hand?

rsv@Job:36:3 @ I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

rsv@Job:36:7 @ He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings upon the throne he sets them for ever, and they are exalted.

rsv@Job:36:9 @ then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.

rsv@Job:36:10 @ He opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.

rsv@Job:36:11 @ If they hearken and serve him, they complete their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasantness.

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

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

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

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:7:13 @ Consider the work of God; who can make straight what he has made crooked?

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: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:8:13 @ but it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

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: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:9:11 @ 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: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:12:6 @ before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,
