I saw every work of God, and that a man is unable to comprehend the work that is done under the sun. Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning; even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to comprehend.
Read word by wordSo I took all this to heart and concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in God’s hands. Man does not know what lies ahead, whether love or hate.
Read word by wordIt is the same for all: There is a common fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who makes a vow, so it is for the one who refuses to take a vow.
Read word by wordThis is an evil in everything that is done under the sun: There is one fate for everyone. Furthermore, the hearts of men are full of evil and madness while they are alive, and afterward they join the dead.
Read word by wordFor the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten.
Read word by wordTheir love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.

Read word by wordI saw something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent, nor the favor to the skillful. For time and chance happen to all.
Read word by wordFor surely no man knows his time: Like fish caught in a cruel net or birds trapped in a snare, so men are ensnared in an evil time that suddenly falls upon them.
Read word by wordI have also seen this wisdom under the sun, and it was great to me:
Read word by wordThere was a small city with few men. A mighty king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siege ramps against it.
Read word by wordNow a poor wise man was found in the city, and he saved the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.
Read word by wordAnd I said, “Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”
Read word by wordWisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

Read word by wordIf the snake bites before it is charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.
Read word by wordThe words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool consume him.
Read word by wordThe beginning of his talk is folly, and the end of his speech is evil madness.
Read word by wordYet the fool multiplies words. No one knows what is coming, and who can tell him what will come after him?
Read word by wordWoe to you, O land whose king is a youth, and whose princes feast in the morning.
Read word by wordBlessed are you, O land whose king is a son of nobles, and whose princes feast at the proper time—for strength and not for drunkenness.
Read word by wordThrough laziness the roof caves in, and in the hands of the idle, the house leaks.
Read word by wordA feast is prepared for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything.
Read word by wordDo not curse the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich even in your bedroom, for a bird of the air may carry your words, and a winged creature may report your speech.
Read word by wordDivide your portion among seven, or even eight, for you do not know what disaster may befall the land.
Read word by wordIf the clouds are full, they will pour out rain upon the earth; whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there it will lie.

Read word by wordwhen the doors to the street are shut and the sound of the mill fades away, when one rises at the sound of a bird and all the daughters of song grow faint,
Read word by wordwhen men fear the heights and dangers of the road, when the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper loses its spring, and the caper berry shrivels—for then man goes to his eternal home and mourners walk the streets.
Read word by wordRemember Him before the silver cord is snapped and the golden bowl is crushed, before the pitcher is shattered at the spring and the wheel is broken at the well,
Read word by wordbefore the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
