and doesn’t retreat before anything,

The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he shall have no lack of gain.

She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She sees that her marketing is of profit to her: her light does not go out by night.

She does not fear for her house [when] it snows, for {her entire household} is clothed [in] crimson.

She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it.

Her children stand up and encourage her, as does her husband, who praises her:

What is a man profited by all his work which he does under the sun?

Does anything exist about which someone might say, "Look at this! Is this new?" It happened ages ago; it existed before we did.

I said about laughter, “It is madness,” and about pleasure, “What does this accomplish?”

For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool forever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how does the wise man die? as the fool.

What does a man get for all his work, and for the weight of care with which he has done his work under the sun?

For all his days are filled with grief, and his occupation is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.

What profit has the worker in the work which he does?

He has made every thing beautiful in its time: also he has put eternity in men's hearts, so that no man can find out the work that God does from the beginning to the end.

I know that, whatsoever God does, it shall be forever: nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God does it, that men should fear before him.

For what happens to people also happens to animals a single event happens to them: just as someone dies, so does the other. In fact, they all breathe the same way, so that a human being has no superiority over an animal. All of this is pointless.

The fool folds his hands and does no work, so he has nothing to eat but his own flesh.

There was a certain man—without a dependent, having neither a child nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches and he never asked, “For whom do I labor and deprive myself of pleasure?” This too is vanity (a wisp of smoke, self-conceit); yes, it is a painful effort and an unhappy task.

When someone's prosperity increases, those who consume it also increase; so what does its owner gain, except that he gets to see it with his eyes?

The sleep of the laborer [is] pleasant, whether he eats little or much, but the wealth of the rich man does not allow him to rest.

As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.

This too is a sickening tragedy: exactly as he comes, so he will go. What does the one gain who struggles for the wind?

Here is what I have seen to be good: it is appropriate to eat, drink, and experience good in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of his life God has given him, because that is his reward.

for he does not often consider the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with the joy of his heart.

A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.

A man may father a hundred children and live many years. No matter how long he lives, if he is not satisfied by good things and does not even have a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.

Though a stillborn child does not see the sun and is not conscious, it has more rest than he.
