The wise man has eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also came to realize that one fate overcomes them both.
Read word by wordSo I said to myself, “The fate of the fool will also befall me. What then have I gained by being wise?” And I said to myself that this too is futile.
Read word by wordFor there is no lasting remembrance of the wise, just as with the fool, seeing that both will be forgotten in the days to come. Alas, the wise man will die just like the fool!
Read word by wordSo I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Read word by wordAnd who knows whether that man will be wise or foolish? Yet he will take over all the labor at which I have worked skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.
Read word by wordWhen there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great evil.
Read word by wordFor what does a man get for all the toil and striving with which he labors under the sun?
Read word by wordIndeed, all his days are filled with grief, and his task is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.
Read word by wordFor apart from Him, who can eat and who can find enjoyment?
Read word by wordTo the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner He assigns the task of gathering and accumulating that which he will hand over to one who pleases God. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Read word by wordTo everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
Read word by worda time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
Read word by worda time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build,
Read word by worda time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
Read word by worda time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
Read word by worda time to search and a time to count as lost, a time to keep and a time to discard,
Read word by worda time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
Read word by worda time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Read word by wordHe has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end.
Read word by wordI know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,
Read word by wordand also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor—this is the gift of God.
Read word by wordI know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.
Read word by wordWhat exists has already been, and what will be has already been, for God will call to account what has passed.
Read word by wordFurthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.
Read word by wordI said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.”
Read word by wordI said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
Read word by wordFor the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.
Read word by wordAll go to one place; all come from dust, and all return to dust.
Read word by wordWho knows if the spirit of man rises upward and the spirit of the animal descends into the earth?
Read word by wordAgain I looked, and I considered all the oppression taking place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter; the power lay in the hands of their oppressors, and there was no comforter.
Read word by wordSo I admired the dead, who had already died, above the living, who are still alive.
Read word by wordBut better than both is he who has not yet existed, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.
Read word by wordI saw that all labor and success spring from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Read word by wordThe fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.
Read word by wordBetter one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and pursuit of the wind.
Read word by wordThere is a man all alone, without even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content with his wealth: “For whom do I toil and bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is futile—a miserable task.
Read word by wordFor if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to help him up!
Read word by wordAgain, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone?
Read word by wordAnd though one may be overpowered, two can resist. Moreover, a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Read word by wordBetter is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take a warning.
Read word by wordThere is no limit to all the people who were before them. Yet the successor will not be celebrated by those who come even later. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Read word by wordGuard your steps when you go to the house of God. Draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
