This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.

(The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

The trees of Jehovah are filled with moisture , The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,

And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof.

The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner.

This is the day which Jehovah hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Confirm unto thy servant thy word, Which is in order unto the fear of thee.

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, Which I have loved.

I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved; And I will meditate on thy statutes.

They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;

He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which cry.

He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:

Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.

The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting; But the precious substance of men is to the diligent.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.

Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But that which is in the inward part of fools is made known.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness; And a poor man is better than a liar.

Remove not the ancient landmark, Which thy fathers have set.

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.

The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, And lose thy sweet words.

My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:

These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

A needy man that oppresseth the poor Is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

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

For three things the earth doth tremble, And for four, which it cannot bear:

There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise:

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

The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, And turneth not away for any;

The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.

Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been done long ago.

a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away.

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.

When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou vowest.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy upon men:

For who knoweth what is good for man in his life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

That which is, is far off and exceeding deep; who can find it out?

which my soul still seeketh, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

for he knoweth not that which shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be?

but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that shall abide with him in his labor all the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun.

Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy life of vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity: for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor wherein thou laborest under the sun.

Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes that are newly'shorn, Which are come up from the washing, Whereof every one hath twins, And none is bereaved among them.

Thy two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe, Which feed among the lilies.

Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes, Which are come up from the washing; Whereof every one hath twins, And none is bereaved among them.

Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; Thine eyes as the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looketh toward Damascus.

The mandrakes give forth fragrance; And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver, and their idols of gold, which have been made for them to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

and it shall come to pass, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.

And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away over the brook of the willows.

For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice branches thereof, which reached even unto Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness; its shoots were spread abroad, they passed over the sea.

The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

And they shall not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they have respect to that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images.

In that day shall their strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it shall be a desolation.

Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;

Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.

In that day shall the Egyptians be like unto women; and they shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over them.

And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt; every one to whom mention is made thereof shall be afraid, because of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, which he purposeth against it.

And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh unto me , and with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught them ;

the oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
