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:1:3 @ 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:1:10 @ 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:1:16 @ 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:1:21 @ 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:2:3 @ 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:2:4 @ Then Satan answered the LORD, "Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.

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:2:13 @ 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:3:3 @ "Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which said, ` man-child is conceived.'

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

rsv@Job:3:16 @ Or why was I not as a hidden untimely birth, as infants that never see the light?

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

rsv@Job:3:18 @ There the prisoners are at ease together; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.

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

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

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

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:4:4 @ 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:4:7 @ "Think now, who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off+?

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

rsv@Job:4:15 @ A spirit glided past my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.

rsv@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, then I heard a voice:

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@Job:5:26 @ You shall come to your grave in ripe old age, as a shock of grain comes up to the threshing floor in its season.

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

rsv@Job:6:5 @ Does the wild ass bray when he has grass, or the ox low over his fodder?

rsv@Job:6:6 @ Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there any taste in the slime of the purslane?

rsv@Job:6:7 @ My appetite refuses to touch them; they are as food that is loathsome to me.

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

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

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

rsv@Job:6:28 @ "But now, be pleased to look at me; for I will not lie to your face.

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

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

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

rsv@Job:7:20 @ If I sin, what do I do to thee, thou watcher of men? Why hast thou made me thy mark? Why have I become a burden to thee?

rsv@Job:8:4 @ If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the power of their transgression.

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

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

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:9:23 @ When disaster brings sudden death, he mocks at the calamity of the innocent.

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

rsv@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together.

rsv@Job:10:4 @ Hast thou eyes of flesh? Dost thou see as man sees?

rsv@Job:10:5 @ Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man's years,

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

rsv@Job:10:13 @ Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this was thy purpose.

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

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:11:16 @ You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away.

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

rsv@Job:12:5 @ In the thought of one who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; it is ready for those whose feet slip.

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

rsv@Job:12:11 @ Does not the ear try words as the palate tastes food?

rsv@Job:12:13 @ "With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding.

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

rsv@Job:13:3 @ But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.

rsv@Job:13:4 @ As for you, you whitewash with lies; worthless physicians are you all.

rsv@Job:13:6 @ Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

rsv@Job:13:8 @ Will you show partiality toward him, will you plead the case for God?

rsv@Job:13:9 @ Will it be well with you when he searches you out? Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man?

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

rsv@Job:13:18 @ Behold, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be vindicated.

rsv@Job:13:24 @ Why dost thou hide thy face, and count me as thy enemy?

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

rsv@Job:14:5 @ Since his days are determined, and the number of his months is with thee, and thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass,

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:14:10 @ But man dies, and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he?

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

rsv@Job:14:13 @ Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest conceal me until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!

rsv@Job:14:14 @ If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my service I would wait, till my release should come.

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:14:20 @ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passes; thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

rsv@Job:15:2 @ "Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

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

rsv@Job:15:12 @ Why does your heart carry you away, and why do your eyes flash,

rsv@Job:15:19 @ to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them).

rsv@Job:15:25 @ Because he has stretched forth his hand against God, and bids defiance to the Almighty,

rsv@Job:15:27 @ because he has covered his face with his fat, and gathered fat upon his loins,

rsv@Job:15:28 @ and has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no man should inhabit, which were destined to become heaps of ruins;

rsv@Job:15:33 @ He will shake off his unripe grape, like the vine, and cast off his blossom, like the olive tree.

rsv@Job:16:4 @ I also could speak as you do, if you were in my place; I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.

rsv@Job:16:5 @ I could strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would assuage your pain.

rsv@Job:16:6 @ "If I speak, my pain is not assuaged, and if I forbear, how much of it leaves me?

rsv@Job:16:7 @ Surely now God has worn me out; he has made desolate all my company.

rsv@Job:16:8 @ And he has shriveled me up, which is a witness against me; and my leanness has risen up against me, it testifies to my face.

rsv@Job:16:9 @ He has torn me in his wrath, and hated me; he has gnashed his teeth at me; my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.

rsv@Job:16:10 @ Men have gaped at me with their mouth, they have struck me insolently upon the cheek, they mass themselves together against me.

rsv@Job:16:11 @ God gives me up to the ungodly, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.

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:17:4 @ Since thou hast closed their minds to understanding, therefore thou wilt not let them triumph.

rsv@Job:17:6 @ "He has made me a byword of the peoples, and I am one before whom men spit.

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:17:13 @ If I look for Sheol as my house, if I spread my couch in darkness,

rsv@Job:18:3 @ Why are we counted as cattle? Why are we stupid in your sight?

rsv@Job:18:8 @ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a pitfall.

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

rsv@Job:18:13 @ By disease his skin is consumed, the first-born of death consumes his limbs.

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

rsv@Job:18:19 @ He has no offspring or descendant among his people, and no survivor where he used to live.

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

rsv@Job:19:8 @ He has walled up my way, so that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness upon my paths.

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

rsv@Job:19:10 @ He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone, and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.

rsv@Job:19:11 @ He has kindled his wrath against me, and counts me as his adversary.

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:19:15 @ the guests in my house have forgotten me; my maidservants count me as a stranger; I have become an alien in their eyes.

rsv@Job:19:21 @ Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me!

rsv@Job:19:25 @ For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at last he will stand upon the earth;

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

rsv@Job:20:2 @ "Therefore my thoughts answer me, because of my haste within me.

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

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

rsv@Job:20:14 @ yet his food is turned in his stomach; it is the gall of asps within him.

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

rsv@Job:20:16 @ He will suck the poison of asps; the tongue of a viper will kill him.

rsv@Job:20:19 @ For he has crushed and abandoned the poor, he has seized a house which he did not build.

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

rsv@Job:20:23 @ To fill his belly to the full God will send his fierce anger into him, and rain it upon him as his food.

rsv@Job:20:26 @ Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not blown upon will devour him; what is left in his tent will be consumed.

rsv@Job:21:4 @ As for me, is my complaint against man? Why should I not be impatient?

rsv@Job:21:10 @ Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves, and does not cast her calf.

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

rsv@Job:21:25 @ Another dies in bitterness of soul, never having tasted of good.

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

rsv@Job:21:31 @ Who declares his way to his face, and who requites him for what he has done?

rsv@Job:22:3 @ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous, or is it gain to him if you make your ways blameless?

rsv@Job:22:16 @ They were snatched away before their time; their foundation was washed away.

rsv@Job:22:20 @ saying, `f, and what they left the fire has consumed.'

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

rsv@Job:23:4 @ I would lay my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.

rsv@Job:23:7 @ There an upright man could reason with him, and I should be acquitted for ever by my judge.

rsv@Job:23:10 @ But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

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

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:23:16 @ God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me;

rsv@Job:24:2 @ Men remove landmarks; they seize flocks and pasture them.

rsv@Job:24:3 @ They drive away the ass of the fatherless; they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

rsv@Job:24:5 @ Behold, like wild asses in the desert they go forth to their toil, seeking prey in the wilderness as food for their children.

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:24:14 @ The murderer rises in the dark, that he may kill the poor and needy; and in the night he is as a thief.

rsv@Job:26:2 @ "How you have helped him who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!

rsv@Job:26:3 @ How you have counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

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

rsv@Job:26:6 @ Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.

rsv@Job:26:10 @ He has described a circle upon the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.

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

rsv@Job:27:2 @ "As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter;

rsv@Job:27:3 @ as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

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:27:7 @ "Let my enemy be as the wicked, and let him that rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

rsv@Job:27:21 @ The east wind lifts him up and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.

rsv@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, out of it comes bread; but underneath it is turned up as by fire.

rsv@Job:28:6 @ Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.

rsv@Job:28:7 @ "That path no bird of prey knows, and the falcon's eye has not seen it.

rsv@Job:28:17 @ Gold and glass cannot equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.

rsv@Job:28:25 @ When he gave to the wind its weight, and meted out the waters by measure;

rsv@Job:29:2 @ "Oh, that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;

rsv@Job:29:4 @ as I was in my autumn days, when the friendship of God was upon my tent;

rsv@Job:29:5 @ when the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

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

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

rsv@Job:29:13 @ The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

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

rsv@Job:29:15 @ I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.

rsv@Job:29:16 @ I was a father to the poor, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know.

rsv@Job:29:18 @ Then I thought, `en I thought, "I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand,

rsv@Job:29:23 @ They waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouths as for the spring rain.

rsv@Job:29:24 @ I smiled on them when they had no confidence; and the light of my countenance they did not cast down.

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

rsv@Job:30:11 @ Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.

rsv@Job:30:12 @ On my right hand the rabble rise, they drive me forth, they cast up against me their ways of destruction.

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:30:19 @ God has cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.

rsv@Job:30:21 @ Thou hast turned cruel to me; with the might of thy hand thou dost persecute me.

rsv@Job:30:24 @ "Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand, and in his disaster cry for help?

rsv@Job:30:25 @ Did not I weep for him whose day was hard? Was not my soul grieved for the poor?

rsv@Job:30:28 @ I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.

rsv@Job:31:3 @ Does not calamity befall the unrighteous, and disaster the workers of iniquity?

rsv@Job:31:5 @ "If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hastened to deceit;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @ Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"? It has been already, in the ages before us.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:11 @ There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to happen among those who come after.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I the Preacher have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I applied my mind to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven; it is an unhappy business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with.

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:2:1 @ I said to myself, "Come now, I will make a test of pleasure; enjoy yourself." But behold, this also was vanity.

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:2:6 @ I made myself pools from which to water the forest of growing 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:2:13 @ Then I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.

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:2:16 @ For of the wise man as of the fool there is no enduring remembrance, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. How the wise man dies just like the fool!

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:2:18 @ I hated all my toil in which I had toiled under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me;

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:2:25 @ for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment?

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:3:9 @ What gain has the worker from his toil?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man's mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

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:3:14 @ I know that whatever God does endures for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has made it so, in order that men should fear before him.

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:3:18 @ I said in my heart with regard to the sons of men that God is testing them to show them that they are but beasts.

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:3:22 @ So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should enjoy his work, for that is his lot; who can bring him to see what will be after him?

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:4:7 @ Again, I saw vanity under the sun:

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:4:9 @ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.

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:4:11 @ Again, if two lie together, they are warm; but how can one be warm alone?

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:4:14 @ even though he had gone from prison to the throne or in his own kingdom had been born poor.

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:5:1 @ Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; to draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know that they are doing evil.

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:5:4 @ When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow.

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:5:7 @ For when dreams increase, empty words grow many: but do you fear God.

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:5:10 @ He who loves money will not be satisfied with money; nor he who loves wealth, with gain: this also is vanity.

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:5:12 @ Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much; but the surfeit of the rich will not let him sleep.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @ There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt,

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:5:20 @ For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.

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:6:5 @ moreover it has not seen the sun or known anything; yet it finds rest rather than he.

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:6:7 @ All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied.

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:6:12 @ For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?

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:7:3 @ Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of countenance the heart is made glad.

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

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fools; this also is vanity.

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:7:9 @ Be not quick to anger, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Say not, "Why were the former days better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Wisdom is good with an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun.

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:7:13 @ 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:7:17 @ Be not wicked overmuch, neither be a fool; why should you die before your time?

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:7:19 @ Wisdom gives strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ Do not give heed to all the things that men say, lest you hear your servant cursing you;

rsv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ your heart knows that many times you have yourself cursed others.

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

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:7:27 @ Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, adding one thing to another to find the sum,

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:7:29 @ Behold, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many devices.

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:8:3 @ go from his presence, do not delay when the matter is unpleasant, for he does whatever he pleases.

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:8:7 @ For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how it will be?

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No man has power to retain the spirit, or authority over the day of death; there is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this I observed while applying my mind to all that is done under the sun, while man lords it over man to his hurt.

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:8:11 @ Because sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set to do evil.

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:8:14 @ 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:8:17 @ then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out; even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out.

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:9:4 @ But he who is joined with all the living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

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:9:8 @ Let your garments be always white; let not oil be lacking on your head.

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:9:17 @ The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @ Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

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:10:2 @ A wise man's heart inclines him toward the right, but a fool's heart toward the left.

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:10:4 @ If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for deference will make amends for great offenses.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error proceeding from the ruler:

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:10:11 @ If the serpent bites before it is charmed, there is no advantage in a charmer.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise man's mouth win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him.

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:10:15 @ The toil of a fool wearies him, so that he does not know the way to the city.

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:10:20 @ Even in your thought, do not curse the king, nor in your bedchamber curse the rich; for a bird of the air will carry your voice, or some winged creature tell the matter.

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

rsv@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what evil may happen on earth.

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:11:5 @ As you do not know how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

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:11:8 @ For if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.

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:12:6 @ 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,

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:12:8 @ Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.

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@Ecclesiastes:12:14 @ For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

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:1:6 @ Do not gaze at me because I am swarthy, because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me, they made me keeper of the vineyards; but, my own vineyard I have not kept!

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:1:12 @ While the king was on his couch, my nard gave forth its fragrance.

rsv@Songs:1:13 @ My beloved is to me a bag of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.

rsv@Songs:2:2 @ As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens.

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:2:7 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the hinds of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

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

rsv@Songs:3:3 @ The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city. "Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"

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:3:5 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the hinds of the field, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

rsv@Songs:3:10 @ He made its posts of silver, its back of gold, its seat of purple; it was lovingly wrought within by the daughters of Jerusalem.

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:4:5 @ Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that feed among the lilies.

rsv@Songs:5:2 @ I slept, but my heart was awake. Hark! my beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night."

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

rsv@Songs:5:7 @ The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city; they beat me, they wounded me, they took away my mantle, those watchmen of the walls.

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

rsv@Songs:5:15 @ His legs are alabaster columns, set upon bases of gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars.

rsv@Songs:6:1 @ Whither has your beloved gone, O fairest among women? Whither has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?

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:6:4 @ You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

rsv@Songs:6:6 @ Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, that have come up from the washing, all of them bear twins, not one among them is bereaved.

rsv@Songs:6:10 @ "Who is this that looks forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army with banners?"

rsv@Songs:6:12 @ Before I was aware, my fancy set me in a chariot beside my prince.

rsv@Songs:6:13 @ Return, return, O Shu'lammite, return, return, that we may look upon you. Why should you look upon the Shu'lammite, as upon a dance before two armies?

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:7:3 @ Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.

rsv@Songs:7:4 @ Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rab'bim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus.

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:7:13 @ The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.

rsv@Songs:8:1 @ O that you were like a brother to me, that nursed at my mother's breast! If I met you outside, I would kiss you, and none would despise me.

rsv@Songs:8:4 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up nor awaken love until it please.

rsv@Songs:8:5 @ Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother was in travail with you, there she who bore you was in travail.

rsv@Songs:8:6 @ Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a most vehement flame.

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

rsv@Songs:8:10 @ I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who brings peace.

rsv@Songs:8:11 @ Solomon had a vineyard at Ba'al-ha'mon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.

rsv@Songs:8:14 @ Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountains of spices.
