Yea, sleep on still a little, slumber a little, fold thy hands together yet a little, that thou mayest sleep:

These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

For the commandment is a lantern, and the law a light: yea, chastening and nurture is the way of life:

He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!

For she has cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

Yea, a very fool, when he holdeth his tongue, is counted wise; and to have understanding, when he shutteth his lips.

But the rich man's goods are his stronghold, yea he taketh them for a high wall round about him.

the heart of the intelligent, acquireth knowledge, yea, the ear of the wise, seeketh knowledge.

As for the poor, he is hated among all his brethren; yea, his own friends forsake him, and he that giveth credence unto words, getteth nothing.

The fear of the LORD preserveth the life; yea it giveth plenteousness, without the visitation of any plague.

Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, are lips of knowledge.

Cast out the scoffer, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

Yea the morsels that thou hast eaten shalt thou parbreak and loose those sweet words.

Yea, my inmost being shall rejoice, when your lips speak right things.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; Yea , wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Rejoice doth thy father and thy mother, Yea, she that bare thee is joyful.

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increases strength.

Wisdom is a high thing; yea, even to the fool, for he dare not open his mouth in the gate.

Even so shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul, as soon as thou hast gotten it. And there is good hope; yea, thy hope shall not be in vain.

He that sayeth unto the ungodly, "Thou art righteous," him shall the people curse; yea, the commonality shall abhor him.

A generation -- how high are their eyes, Yea, their eyelids are lifted up.

The horseleach hath two daughters, crying , Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, Yea , four that say not, Enough:

There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yea, four which I know not:

Under three things, a land is stirred, yea, under four, she cannot bear up:

There are three things which are stately in their march, Yea, four which are stately in going:

A woman of worth who doth find? Yea, far above rubies is her price.

Yea, she riseth while yet night, And giveth food to her household, And a portion to her damsels.

She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

And the sun, breaketh forth, and the sun, goeth in, - yea, unto his own place, he panteth, from whence he brake forth.

I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I have gotten me great wisdom above all that were before me in Jerusalem; yea, my heart hath had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

yea I have given my heart, to know wisdom, and to know madness, and folly, - I know that, even this, is a feeding on wind.

For the wise are ever as little in remembrance as the foolish, and all the days for to come shall be forgotten, yea the wise man dieth as well as the fool.

Yea, I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun: because I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

For all his days are but'sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity.

Is it not better then for a man to eat and drink, and his soul to be merry in his labour? Yea I saw that this also was a gift of God:

He giveth unto man, what it pleaseth him; whether it be wisdom, understanding, or gladness. But unto the sinner he giveth weariness and sorrow, that he may gather and heap together the thing, that afterward shall be given unto him whom it pleaseth God. This is now a vain thing, yea a very disquietness and vexation of mind.

Every thing hath a time; yea, all that is under the heaven, hath his convenient season.

yea, even every man who eateth and hath drunk and seen good by all his labour, it is a gift of God.

For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity.

yea, better than them both did I esteem him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then,'saith he , do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

For out of prison he came forth to be king; yea, even in his kingdom he was born poor.

If, the oppression of the poor, and the wresting of justice and righteousness, thou see in the province, do not be astonished over the matter, - for, one high above the highest, is watching, yea, the Most High, is over them.

yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place?

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.

In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yea, God hath made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything that shall be after him.

It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth from them all.

yea, and so deep that I might not reach unto her.

then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

For all these things purposed I in my mind to seek out. The righteous and wise, yea and their servants also are in the hand of God: and there is no man that knoweth either love or hate, but all things are before them.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

Give a portion to seven, yea, even unto eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

Yea, if a man live many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

yea, they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors'shall be in the way; and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:

And further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, and sought out, and'set in order many proverbs.

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

Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: Also our couch is green.

The fig-tree hath ripened her green figs, And the sweet-smelling vines have given forth fragrance, Rise, come, my friend, my fair one, yea, come away.

Get us the foxes, yea the little foxes that hurt the vines, for our vines bear blossoms.

By night in my bed I sought him, whom my soul loveth: yea, diligently sought I him, but I found him not.

Thy neck is like the tower of David builded with bulwarks, whereupon there hang a thousand shields; yea, all the weapons of the giants.

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb; yea, milk and honey is under thy tongue, and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of frankincense.

Up thou North wind, come thou South wind, and blow upon my garden, that the smell thereof may be carried on every side: yea, that my beloved may come into my garden, and eat of the fruits and apples that grow therein.

I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, beloved ones!

I rose to open to my beloved, And my hands dropped myrrh, Yea, my fingers flowing myrrh, On the handles of the lock.

So the watchmen that went about the city found me, smote me, and wounded me: Yea they that kept the walls, took away my kerchief from me.

His mouth is most sweet: Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, yea, this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

My dove, my undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; Yea , the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

I said, 'Let me go up on the palm, Let me lay hold on its boughs, Yea, let thy breasts be, I pray thee, as clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy face as citrons,

The mandrakes have given fragrance, And at our openings all pleasant things, New, yea, old, my beloved, I laid up for thee!

Oh that thou wert as my brother, That sucked the breasts of my mother! When I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; Yea, and none would despise me.

so that many waters are not able to quench love, neither may the streams drown it. Yea, if a man would give all the good of his house for love, he should count it nothing.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Yea, one shall take a friend of his own kindred by the bosom, and say, "Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril."

The changing of their countenance betrayeth them; yea, they declare their own sins themselves, as Sodom, and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be heavily rewarded.

And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth!

Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.

And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.

And the mean man hath been bowed down And the mighty man hath been humbled, - Yea the looks of the haughty shall be humbled.
