And I gave my heart to seek and to search out in wisdom concerning all which was done under the heavens: this evil business God gave to the sons of man to be occupied in it

I Said in my heart, Go now, I will prove thee with gladness, and look thou upon good: and behold, this also vanity.

I examined in my heart to draw my flesh with wine, and my heart led in wisdom; and to lay hold upon folly till that I shall see what this good to the sons of man which they will do under the heavens the number of the days of their life.

Not good in man he shall eat and drink and cause his soul to see good in his labor. Also this I saw that it is from the hand of God.

For to a man good before his face, he gave wisdom and knowledge and gladness: and to him sinning, he gave labor, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good one before the face of God. Also this is vanity and the striving of the spirit.

I saw the labor which God gave to the sons of man to be humbled in it

He made everything beautiful in his time: also he gave hidden time in their heart, so that man shall not find the work which God did from the beginning and even to the end.

I knew that no good is in them, but to rejoice and to do good in his life.

And also every man shall eat and drink, and see the good in all his labor; it is the gift of God.

I knew that all which God will do it shall be forever: to it not to be added, and from it not to be taken away: and God doing they shall be afraid from his face.

What was, it is already; and what to be, was already; and God will seek him being driven away.

I said in my heart, The just one and the unjust one, God will judge: for a time for every inclination and for every work there.

I said in my heart concerning the speeches of the sons of man, for God to separate them, and for them to see that they are cattle to themselves.

And I saw that no good more than that man shall rejoice in his works; for this is his portion: for who shall bring him to look upon what shall be after him?

And good above them two which were not yet, which saw not the evil work which was done under the sun.

Good a hand filled with rest, above two hands full of labor and striving of spirit.

There is one, and not a second; also a son and brother not to him: and no end to all his labor; also his eye shall not be satisfied with riches: and for whom do I labor and diminish my soul from good? Also this is vanity, and it is an evil labor.

Two are good above one, because there is to them a good reward in their labor.

Good a poor and wise child above an old and foolish king, who knew not more to receive instruction.

Watch thy feet when thou shalt go to the house of God, and draw near to hear, rather than give the sacrifice of the foolish, for they not knowing the doing of evil.

Thou shalt not hasten with thy mouth, and thy heart shall not be quick to bring forth a word to the face of God: for God is in the heavens, and thou upon the earth: for this thy words shall be few.

When thou shalt vow a vow to God, thou shalt not delay to repay it; for there is no desire in the foolish: repay what thou shalt vow.

Good that thou shalt not vow rather than thou shalt vow and not requite.

Thou shalt not give thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; and thou shalt not say to the face of the messenger that it is an error: wherefore shall God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

For in the multitude of dreams, and vanities, and many words: but fear thou God.

In the multitude of good they were multiplied eating it: and what the success to its possessors but seeing with his eyes?

Behold, what I saw: good, which is beautiful to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labor that he will labor under the sun the number of the days of his life, which God gave to him; for this his portion.

Also every man which God gave to him wealth and riches, and permitted him to eat from it, and to lift up his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this the gift of God himself.

For he shall not much remember the days of his life; for God humbles him in the gladness of his heart.

A man which God will give to him wealth and riches and honor, and wanting not to his soul from all which he shall desire, and God will not permit him to eat from it, for a man, a stranger shall eat it. This is vanity and it is an evil disease.

If a man shall beget a hundred, and live many years, and a multitude shall be the days of his years, and his soul shall not be satisfied from good, and also there was no burial to him; I said, Good above him an abortion.

And although he lived a thousand years twice, and he saw not good. Did not all go to one place?

Good the sight of the eyes above the going of the soul. Also this is vanity and striving of spirit

A good name is above good oil, and the day of death above the day of birth.

Good to go to the house of mourning rather than to go to the house of drinking, in that it is the end of every man; and he living shall give to his heart.

Good is grief above laughter: for in the illness of the face the heart shall be good.

Good to hear the reproof of the wise one, above a man hearing the song of the foolish:

Good the last of a word above its beginning: good slowness of spirit above pride of spirit

Thou shalt not say, Why was it the former days were good above these? for thou didst not ask from wisdom concerning this

Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and a remainder to those seeing the sun.

See the work of God: for who shall be able to make straight what he made it crooked?

In the day of good, be in good; and in the day of evil, see thou: also God made this over against this, to the end that man shall not find anything after him.

Good that thou shalt hold fast upon this; also from this thou shalt not lead away thy hand: for he fearing God shall come forth with all of them.

For not a just man in the earth, who shall do good and not sin.

And I find bitter above death the woman that her heart it is snares and nets, her hands are bonds: the good one before God shall escape from her, and he sinning shall be taken by her.

Only see, this I found, that God made man upright; and they sought out many purposes.

I am to watch the king's mouth by reason of the oath of God.

Whoever sinned, doing evil a hundred, and it being prolonged to him, for also I know that it will be to those fearing God, who shall be afraid from his face.

And it shall not be good to the unjust one; he shall not lengthen the days as a shadow, for he feared not from before the face of God.

And I praised joy, because there is no good to man under the sun but to eat and to drink, and to rejoice: for this shall lodge with him in his labor the days of his life which God gave to him under the sun.

And I saw all the work of God, that no man shall be able to find out the work that was done under the sun in whatsoever a man shall labor to seek out, and he shall not find: and also if the wise one shall say to know, he shall not be able to find.

For all this I gave to my heart, and to examine all this, that the just and the wise and their works are in the hand of God: also love, also hatred, no man shall know of all before them.

All according to all: one event to the just one and to the unjust one; to the good one and to the clean one, and to the unclean one; to him sacrificing and to him not sacrificing: as the good one, so the sinning one; he swearing, as he who shall fear an oath.

For whoever shall choose to all the living there is hope: for to a living dog it is good above a dead lion.

Go eat in joy thy bread, and drink thy wine in a good heart; for already God was satisfied with thy works.

And I said, Wisdom is good above strength: and the wisdom of the poor one was despised, and his words not heard.

The words of the wise being heard in quiet more than the cry of him ruling among the foolish.

Wisdom is good above the instruments of encounter: and one sinning will destroy much good.

As thou wilt not know what the way of the spirit, as the bones in the womb of her being filled, so thou shalt not know the work of God who will make all.

In the morning sow thy seed, and at evening thou shalt not let thy hand rest: for thou shalt not know whether this shall be right, this or that, or if they two as one being good.

And the light is sweet, and good to the eyes to see the sun:

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and thy heart shall do thee good in the days of thy youth, and go in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: and know thou, that for all these God will bring thee into judgment

And the dust shall turn back to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall turn back to God who gave it.

We will hear the end of all the word: Fear thou God, and watch his commands: for this is all man.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every thing hidden, whether good, and whether evil.
