The foolish will deride his father's instruction: and he watching reproof will be crafty.

The lips of the wise will disperse knowledge: and the heart of the foolish not so.

The king's wrath, messengers of death: and a wise man shall expiate it

In the light of the king's face is life, and his acceptance as the cloud of the latter rain.

Deep waters are the words of man's mouth, the fountain of wisdom a gushing stream.

The rich one's wealth his strong city, and as a wall lifted up in his imagination.

Before a breaking a man's heart will be lifted up, and before honor, humility.

From the fruit of a man's mouth his belly shall be filled; and he shall be filled with the increase of his lips.

The king's wrath growling as the young lion, and his acceptance as dew upon the grass.

Hear counsel and receive instruction, so that thou shalt be wise in thy latter state.

Many purposes in a man's heart: and the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.

Who shall say, I cleansed my heart; I was pure from my sin?

Evil, evil, he buying will say: and departing to him, and then he will boast

Thou shalt not say, I will requite evil; wait for Jehovah, he will save to thee.

From Jehovah man's steps; and how shall man understand his way?

The crafty saw evil, and he will hide, and the simple passed on and were punished.

Like him estimating evil in his soul, so is he: Eat and drink, he will say to thee; and his heart not with thee.

Thine eyes shall see strange women, and thy heart shall speak perverseness.

And thou wert as he lying down in the heart of the sea, and as he lying down upon the head of the mast

If thou shalt say, Behold, we knew not this; will not he trying hearts, understand? and he guarding thy soul, knew? and he turned back to man according to his work.

So the knowledge of wisdom to thy soul if thou shalt find: and there is a latter state and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Lest Jehovah shall see and it be evil in his eyes, and he turn back from him his anger.

Thou shalt not say, According to what he did to me, thus will I do to him: I will turn back to the man according to his work.

And I shall see and set my heart: I looked, I took instruction.

For good to say to thee, Come up hither, rather than humbling thyself before the noble whom thine eye saw.

Make rare thy foot from thy neighbor's house, lest he shall be satiated with thee, and hate thee.

As snow in summer and as rain in harvest., so honor not becoming to the foolish one.

As the sparrow for wandering, as the swallow for flying, so the curse shall not come in vain.

As a bundle of stones in a heap of stones, so he giving honor to the foolish one.

So the man deceiving his neighbor and saying, Am I not sporting?

As the bird wandering from her nest, so is a man wandering from his place.

Thy friend and thy father's friend thou shalt not forsake; and thou shalt not go to thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: good he dwelling near, more than a brother far off.

The prudent one saw the evil, he hid himself; the simple passed and were punished.

As in water, face to face, so the heart of man to man.

A man's pride shall bring him low: and honor shall uphold him humble of spirit

Many are seeking the face of the ruler, and from Jehovah a man's judgment

Who went up to the heavens, and came down? who gathered the wind in his fists? who bound the waters in a garment? who set up all the ends of the earth? what his name and what his son's name, if thou shalt know?

A generation, its teeth swords, and its biter's teeth, knives, to devour the poor from the land, and the needy from man.

To the leech two daughters: Give, give. Behold, three shall not satisfied; four shall not say, Wealth:

The way of the eagle in the heavens; the way of the serpent upon the rock; the way of the ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

So the way of a woman committing adultery; eating and wiping her mouth, and saying, I transgressed not

All the torrents going into the sea, and the sea not full: to the place the torrents going, there they turn back to go.

All words becoming weary; man shall not be able to speak: the eye shall not be satisfied to see, and the ear shall not be filled from hearing.

Is there a word will be said, See, this is new? This was already to a long time which was before us.

I saw all the works they did under the sun; and behold, all vanity and striving of the spirit

It spake with my heart, saying, Behold, I was magnified, and added wisdom over all that were before me at Jerusalem: and my heart saw much of wisdom and knowledge.

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.

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.

And I saw there is profit to wisdom more than to folly, as the excellence of the light above darkness.

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.

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak:

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.

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

And yet I saw under the sun the place of judgment, there the unjust one; and the place of the just one, there the unjust one.

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 turned back, and I shall see all the oppressions which are doing under the sun: and behold, the tears of the oppressed, and none comforting to them; and from the hand of those oppressing them was power, and none comforting to them.

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

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.

And I turned back, and I shall see vanity under the sun.

I saw all the living going under the sun, with the second child which shall stand in his stead.

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?

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.

According as he came forth from his mother's womb, naked he shall turn back to go as he came, and he shall not take away anything in his labor that shall go in his hand.

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.

There is evil which I saw under the sun, and it is much upon man:

Also he saw not the sun, and he knew not rest to this above this.

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

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

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

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.

I saw all in the days of my vanity: there is a just one perishing in his justice, and there is an unjust one, being prolonged in his evil.

See, this I found, said the preacher: one to one to find understanding

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.

Wheresoever the word of a king, it is powerful: and who shall say to him, What wilt thou do?

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

And so then I saw the unjust buried, and they came and they will go from the holy place, and they will be forgotten in the city where they did thus: also this is vanity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Also this I saw, the wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:

There is an evil I saw under the sun as an error going forth from before him having power:

I saw servants upon horses, and chiefs going as servants upon the earth.

The words of the wise one's mouth, grace; and the lips of the foolish one shall swallow him down.

He watching the wind shall not sow; and he looking in the clouds, shall not reap.

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:

And remember him creating thee in the days of thy youth, till even when the days of evil shall not come, and the years draw near in which thou shalt say, Not to me delight in them;

Thou shalt not see me, I am black; the sun searched me: my mother's sons were angry with me; they set me to watch the vineyards; my vineyard I watched not for me.

To my mares in Pharaoh's chariots I likened thee, O my neighbor.
