King James Bible KJV Bible
Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.
For the youth has
come from the prison to the
kingship, though he was born poor in his own kingdom.
There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that
come after shall not
rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and
vexation of spirit.
There 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.
For a dream
cometh through the multitude of business; and a
fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.
As a dream
comes through many cares, so the speech of a
fool comes with many words.
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of life that God has given him—for this is his lot.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
There is another evil I have seen under the sun, and it weighs
heavily upon mankind:
For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
For what hath the wise more than the
fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
What advantage, then, has the wise man over the
fool? What gain
comes to the poor man who knows how to conduct himself before others?
For who knoweth what is good for man in this 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?
For who knows what is good for a man during the few days in which he passes through his fleeting life like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will come after him under the sun?
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of
adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
In the day of prosperity, be joyful, but in the day of
adversity, consider this: God has made one of these along with the other, so that a man cannot discover anything that will
come after him.
It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this;
yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall
come forth of them all.
It is good to
grasp the one and not let the other slip from your hand. For he who fears God will follow both warnings.
I counsel thee to keep the king’s commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
Keep the king’s command, I say, because of your oath before God.
Whoso keepeth the
commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.
Whoever keeps his
command will
come to no
harm, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure.
For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
Since no one knows what will happen, who can tell him what is to come?
And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
Then too, I saw the burial of the wicked who used to go in and out of the holy place, and they were praised in the city where they had done so. This too is
futile.
Then I
commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be
merry: for that shall
abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
So I
commended the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be
merry. For this joy will
accompany him in his labor during the days of his life that God gives him under the sun.
Then I
beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it;
yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
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.
All things
come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the
sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
It 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.
A
fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
Yet the
fool multiplies words. No one knows what is
coming, and who can tell him what will
come after him?
But if a man live many years, and
rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that
cometh is vanity.
So if a man lives many years, let him
rejoice in them all. But let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything to
come is
futile.
Remember now thy
Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days
come not, nor the years draw
nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
Remember your
Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of
adversity come and the years approach of which you will say, “I find no pleasure in them,”
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.

comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of

noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy
companions?

company of horses in Pharaoh’s
chariots.

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender
grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and
come away.
The fig tree ripens its figs; the
blossoming vines spread their
fragrance. Arise,
come away, my
darling;
come away with me, my beautiful one.”
O my
dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is
comely.
O my
dove in the clefts of the rock, in the crevices of the
cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your countenance is lovely.

crimson, they will become like wool.

thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither
doth the cause of the widow
come unto them.

chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the
plea of the widow never
comes before them.

abolish.

vanish completely.
And it shall
come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be
stink; and instead of a
girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair
baldness; and instead of a stomacher a
girding of
sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

fragrance there will be a
stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair,
baldness; instead of fine clothing,
sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.

pruned, nor
digged; but there shall
come up briers and thorns: I will also
command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.”

come so that we may know it!”

come!

And it shall
come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the

And they shall
come, and shall rest all of them in the

come to pass in that day, that a man shall
nourish a young cow, and two sheep;

With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
Men will go there with bow and
arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
And on all hills that shall be
digged with the
mattock, there shall not
come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the
treading of lesser cattle.

traverse the hills once tilled by the
hoe; they will become places for oxen to
graze and sheep to
trample.
Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
the Lord will surely bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates— the king of Assyria and all his
pomp. It will overflow its channels and overrun its banks.
Take counsel together, and it shall
come to
nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
Devise a plan, but it will be
thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not happen. For God is with us.”
And they shall pass through it, hardly
bestead and
hungry: and it shall
come to pass, that when they shall be
hungry, they shall
fret themselves, and
curse their king and their God, and look upward.
Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an
hypocrite and an
evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Therefore the Lord takes no pleasure in their young men; He has no
compassion on their fatherless and widows. For every one of them is godless and wicked, and every mouth speaks folly.
Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
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?

reckoning when
devastation comes from
afar? To whom will you
flee for help? Where will you leave your wealth?
For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

Wherefore it shall
come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount
Zion and on Jerusalem, I will
punish the fruit of the
stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
So when the Lord has
completed all His work against Mount
Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will
punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his
arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.
And shall
consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth.
The
splendor of its forests and orchards, both soul and body, it will
completely destroy, as a sickness consumes a man.
And it shall
come to pass in that day, that the
remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that
smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on him who struck them, but they will truly
rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.

come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the

Shinar, and from
Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
On that day the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the
remnant of His people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from
Cush, from
Elam, from

comfortedst me.

angry with me, Your anger has turned away, and You have
comforted me.
I have
commanded my
sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that
rejoice in my highness.

commanded My
sanctified ones; I have even summoned My warriors to
execute My wrath and
exult in My triumph.
They
come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his
indignation, to destroy the whole land.

desolation and to destroy the sinners within it.
And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their
desolate houses, and

For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall
cleave to the house of Jacob.

And it shall
come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard
bondage wherein thou
wast made to serve,

smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall
come forth a
cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a

viper will spring from the root of the
snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.

come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.

comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.

Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are

For the fields of
Heshbon have
withered, along with the grapevines of Sibmah. The rulers of the nations have
trampled its choicest vines, which had reached as far as Jazer and spread toward the desert. Their shoots had spread out and passed over the sea.
And it shall
come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is

come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax

come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall
melt in the midst of it.

coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will
tremble before Him, and the hearts of the Egyptians will
melt within them.

highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall
come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
