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:1:8 @ 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:1:12 @ 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: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:2:5 @ 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:2:9 @ 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:5:27 @ Lo, this we have searched out; it is true. Hear, and know it for your good."

rsv@Proverbs:31:6 @ Give strong drink to him who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress;

rsv@Proverbs:31:7 @ let them drink and forget their poverty, and remember their misery no more.

rsv@Proverbs:31:10 @ A good wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.

rsv@Proverbs:31:14 @ She is like the ships of the merchant, she brings her food from afar.

rsv@Proverbs:31:15 @ She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and tasks for her maidens.

rsv@Proverbs:31:18 @ She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.

rsv@Proverbs:31:19 @ She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.

rsv@Proverbs:31:21 @ She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.

rsv@Proverbs:31:22 @ She makes herself coverings; her clothing is fine linen and purple.

rsv@Proverbs:31:23 @ Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.

rsv@Proverbs:31:26 @ She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

rsv@Proverbs:31:28 @ Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:

rsv@Proverbs:31:30 @ Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

rsv@Proverbs:31:31 @ Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:2 @ Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:5 @ The sun rises and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:7 @ All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @ All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

rsv@Ecclesiastes:1:9 @ What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.

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:2:9 @ 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:2:12 @ 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:2:19 @ 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:2:21 @ 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:2:23 @ 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:3:9 @ What gain has the worker from his toil?

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:3:18 @ 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:3:22 @ 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:4:3 @ 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:4:14 @ 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:5:5 @ 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:5:10 @ 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:6:7 @ 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:7:10 @ 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:7:15 @ 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:7:19 @ 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:7:23 @ 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:7:29 @ 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:8:7 @ 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:9:9 @ 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:9:15 @ 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:10:9 @ 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:10:16 @ 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:10:19 @ Bread is made for laughter, and wine gladdens life, and money answers 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: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:12:8 @ 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:12:11 @ 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:1:1 @ The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.

rsv@Songs:1:2 @ O that you would kiss me with the kisses of your mouth! For your love is better than wine,

rsv@Songs:1:3 @ your anointing oils are fragrant, your name is oil poured out; therefore the maidens love you.

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:1:12 @ 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:1:14 @ My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of Enge'di.

rsv@Songs:1:16 @ Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly lovely. Our couch is green;

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:2:5 @ Sustain me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am sick with 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: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:3:6 @ 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:3:7 @ Behold, it is the litter of Solomon! About it are sixty mighty men of the mighty men of Israel,

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:4:1 @ Behold, you are beautiful, my love, behold, you are beautiful! Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead.

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:4:7 @ You are all fair, my love; there is no flaw in you.

rsv@Songs:4:9 @ You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride, you have ravished my heart with a glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.

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:5:13 @ His cheeks are like beds of spices, yielding fragrance. His lips are lilies, distilling liquid myrrh.

rsv@Songs:5:14 @ His arms are rounded gold, set with jewels. His body is ivory work, encrusted with sapphires.
