No remembrance to former things; and also to the latter things that shall be; to them shall be no remembrance with them which shall be for the latter state.

For in abundance of wisdom, abundance of trouble: and he adding knowledge will increase pain.

And all that mine eyes asked I kept not back from them, and I withheld not my heart from all gladness; for my heart rejoiced from all my labor: and this was my portion from all my labor.

And I turned to see wisdom, madness, and folly: for what the man that shall come after the king? with those things they did already.

For no remembrance for the wise with the foolish one forever, since in the days coming, all being forgotten. And how will the wise die? with the foolish one.

And I hated life, for evil to me the work done under the sun: for all vanity and striving of the spirit

And I turned about to let my heart despair for all the labor I labored under the sun.

For there is man his labor in wisdom, and in knowledge and in success; and to man not laboring in it he shall give his portion. Also this is vanity and much evil.

For what was to man in all his labor, and in the striving of his heart, he labored under the sun?

For all his days pains, and vexation, his labor; also in the night his heart rested not Also this it is vanity.

For who shall eat, and who shall hasten forth above me?

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.

A time to cast away stones, and a time to collect stones a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embracing:

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.

For the event of the sons of man, and the event of the cattle, one event to them: as this, so dies this; and the breath of one to all; and the preeminence of man not above the cattle: for all is vanity.

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 I saw all the labor and all the success of the work, for this the jealousy of a man from his neighbor. Also this is vanity 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.

For if they shall fall, the one will raise up his companion: and wo to him, the one that shall fall, and not a second to raise him up.

For from the house of those turning away he came forth to reign; for also he being born in his kingdom became poor.

No end to all the people, to all which were before them: also the last ones shall not rejoice in him. For also this is vanity and striving of the spirit

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.

For the dream came in the multitude of labor; and the voice of the foolish one in the multitude of words.

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.

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

If thou shalt see the oppression of the poor one, and the spoiling of judgment and justice in a province, thou shalt not wonder at the inclination: for the high one above the high one is watching, and the high ones over them.

There is an evil making sick I saw under the sun: riches watched to its owners for their evil.

And also this an evil making sick, wholly as he came so shall he go: and what to him he shall labor for the wind?

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.

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.

For in vanity he came, and in darkness he will go away, and his name shall be covered with darkness.

All the labor of man for his mouth, and also the soul shall not be filled.

For what will remain to the wise one more than the foolish one? what to the poor that shall know to go before the living

For there is many words increasing vanity, what shall remain to man?

For who shall know what is for man in life, the number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he will make them as a shadow? for who shall announce to man what shall be after him under the sun?

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

For as the voice of thorns under the pot, so the laughter of the foolish one. Also this is vanity.

For oppression will make foolish the wise one; and a gift will destroy the heart.

Thou shalt not be hastened in thy spirit to be angry, for anger shall rest in the bosom of fools.

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

For in the shadow, wisdom; in the shadow, silver: and the excellence of knowledge is wisdom shall preserve alive those possessing it

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

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.

For also many times thy heart knew that thou didst also curse others.

All this I proved by wisdom: I said I will be wise, and it was removed far off from me.

What was far off, and the depth, deep, who shall find it?

Thou shalt not hasten going from his face: thou shalt not stand by the word of evil; for he shall do all that he will desire.

To every inclination there is time and judgment; for man's evil is great upon him.

For he will not know what shall be: for as it shall be who shall announce to him?

All this I saw, and giving my heart to every work which was done under the sun: a time which man had power overman for evil to him.

Because a decree was not done quickly upon an evil work, for this the heart of the sons of man was filled in them to do evil.

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.

According as I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to see the labor that was done upon the earth: for also in the day and in the night he saw not sleep with his eyes.

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.

For the living know they shall die: and the dead know not any thing, and no more to them a reward; for their remembrance was forgotten.

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

See life with the wife which thou didst love all the days of the life of thy vanity which he gave to thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for this thy portion in life, and in thy labor which thou laborest under the sun.

All which thy hand shall find to do, with thy strength, do thou; for no work and understanding and knowledge and wisdom, in hades where thou goest there.

I turned back, and saw under the sun that not to the fleet the race, and the war not to the strong, and also not to the wise, bread; and also not to the understanding ones, riches; and also not to the knowing, favor; for time and chance will light upon all of them.

For also man knew not his time: as the fishes being laid hold of in an evil net, and as the birds laid hold of in the snare, as they, the sons of men being snared for an evil time, as it will fall upon them suddenly.

If the spirit of him ruling shall go up against thee, thou shalt not leave thy place; for quietness will put down great sins.

For laughter they make bread, and wine will gladden the living: and silver will answer with all.

Thou shalt not curse the king in thy consciousness, and in thy bed-chamber thou shalt not curse the rich for the bird of the heavens will bring the voice, and the possessor of wings shall announce the word.

Send forth thy bread upon the face of the waters, for in a multitude of days thou shalt find it

Thou shalt give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou shalt not know what shall be evil upon the earth.

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.

If man shall live many years, in them all shall he rejoice; and he shall remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. All coming is vanity.

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 put away anger from thy heart, and cause evil to pass away from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

In the day those watching the house shall tremble, and the strong men bent themselves, and the grinders ceased for they were few, and they looking through the lattice were darkened,

Also from height they shall be afraid, and being dismayed in the way, and the almond tree shall be despised, and the locust shall become a burden, and the caperberry shall fail: for man shall go to his eternal house, and they mourning, went about in the street:

Till when the cord of silver shall be removed far off, and the bowl of gold be broken, and the bucket shall be broken at the fountain, and the wheel broken at the cistern.

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.
