All words, are weak, unable is any man to tell, - not satisfied is the eye by seeing, nor filled is the ear with hearing.

And I gave my heart to seek and to search out, wisely, concerning all things which are done under the heavens, - the same, is the vexatious employment God hath given to the sons of men, to work toilsomely therein,

As for the wise man, his eyes, are in his head, whereas, the dullard, in darkness, doth walk, - but, I myself, knew that, one destiny, happeneth to them, all.

For, all his days, are pains, and, vexatious, is his employment, even in the night, his heart lieth not down, - even this, was, vanity.

Better are two, than one, - in that they have a good reward for their toil.

When blessings are increased, increased are the eaters thereof, - what profit, then, to the owner of them saving the sight of his eyes?

Even all his days, are spent in darkness and mourning, - and he is very morose, and is sad and angry.

Even though one hath lived a thousand years twice told, yet, good, hath he not seen, - is it not, unto one place, that, all, are going?

Seeing there are things in abundance which make vanity abound, what profit hath man?

Wisdom, bringeth more strength to a wise man, than ten heroes, that are in the city.

No man, hath power over the spirit, to retain the spirit, and, none, hath power over the day of death, and there is no furlough in war, - neither shall lawlessness deliver them who are given thereto.

The words of the wise, in quietness, are heard, - beyond the outcry of one who ruleth over dullards.

The words of a wise man's mouth, are pleasant, - but, the lips of a dullard, will swallow him up:

Therefore remove thou vexation from thy heart, and put away discomfort from thy flesh, - for, youth and dawn, are vanity!

In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the men of might bow themselves, - and the grinders cease because they are few, and they who look through the windows are darkened;

The words of the wise, are as goads, yea, as driven nails, their well-ordered sayings, - given from one shepherd.
