Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the
excellency of knowledge is,
that wisdom giveth life to them
that have it.
For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
Consider the work of God: for who can make
that straight, which he hath made
crooked?
Consider the work of God: Who can
straighten what He has bent?
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.
All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
In my
futile life I have seen both of these: A righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness.
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.
For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
Also take no
heed unto all words
that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant
curse thee:
Do not pay attention to every word
that is spoken, or you may hear your servant
cursing you.
For you know in your heart
that many times you
yourself have
cursed others.
That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
What exists is out of reach and very deep. Who can
fathom it?
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Only this have I found: I have discovered that God made men upright, but they have sought out many schemes.”
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.
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?
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
As no man has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has authority over his day of death. As no one can be discharged in wartime, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work
that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own
hurt.
All this I have seen, applying my mind to every deed
that is done under the sun; there is a time when one man lords it over another to his own
detriment.
Though a
sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know
that it shall be well with them
that fear God, which fear before him:
Although a
sinner does evil a hundred times and still lives long, yet I also know
that it will go well with those who fear God, who are
reverent in His presence.
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
There is a
futility that is done on the earth: There are righteous men who get what the actions of the wicked deserve, and there are wicked men who get what the actions of the righteous deserve. I say
that 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.
When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business
that is done upon the earth: (for also there is
that neither day nor night
seeth sleep with his eyes:)
When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the task that one performs on the earth—though his eyes do not see sleep in the day or even in the night—
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.
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.
So 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.
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.
This is an evil among all things
that are done under the sun,
that there is one event unto all:
yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after
that they go to the dead.
This 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.
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
There is hope, however, for
anyone who is among the living; for even a live dog is better than a dead lion.
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love, and their hatred, and their
envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing
that is done under the sun.
Their 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.
Live
joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for
that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun—all your fleeting days. For this is your portion in life and in your labor under the sun.
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
I 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.
For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes
that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds
that are caught in the
snare; so are the sons of men
snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
For 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.
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
Now a poor wise man was found in the city, and he saved the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.
The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
The calm words of the wise are
heeded over the shouts of a ruler among fools.
As dead
flies bring a
stench to the
perfumer’s oil, so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
Yea also, when he
that is a
fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one
that he is a
fool.
Even as the
fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking, and he shows
everyone that he is a
fool.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
There is an evil I have seen under the sun— an error that proceeds from the ruler:
He
that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and
whoso breaketh an
hedge, a serpent shall
bite him.
He who digs a pit may fall into it, and he who breaches a wall may be
bitten by a
snake.
The one who
quarries stones may be injured by them, and he who splits logs endangers himself.
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and
curse not the rich in thy
bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and
that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
Do 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.
He
that observeth the wind shall not
sow; and he
that regardeth the clouds shall not
reap.
He who watches the wind will fail to
sow, and he who observes the clouds will fail to
reap.
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the
womb of her
that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones are formed in a mother’s
womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
In the morning
sow thy seed, and in the evening
withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall
prosper, either this or
that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
Sow your seed in the morning, and do not rest your hands in the evening, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or
that, or if both will equally
prosper.
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.
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart
cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou,
that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Rejoice, O young man, while you are young, and let your heart be
glad in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and in the sight of your eyes, but know
that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.
In the day when the keepers of the house shall
tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those
that look out of the windows be
darkened,
on the day the keepers of the house
tremble and the strong men
stoop, when those
grinding cease because they are few and those watching through windows see
dimly,
Also when they shall be afraid of
that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the
almond tree shall
flourish, and the
grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
when 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.
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
The Teacher searched to find delightful sayings and to record accurate words of truth.
Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be
glad and
rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
Take me away with you—let us
hurry! May the king bring me to his chambers. We will
rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right
that they
adore you.
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at
noon: for why should I be as one

midday? Why should I be like a
veiled woman beside the flocks of your companions?

frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

twin, and not one of them is lost.

that are twins, which feed among the
lilies.

that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

fragrance of its spices. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choicest fruits.
I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved
that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my
dove, my
undefiled: for my head is filled with
dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
The

My
dove, my
undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her
that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her;
yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

dove, my perfect one, is unique, the
favorite of the mother who bore her. The maidens see her and call her blessed; the queens and concubines sing her praises.

Ahaz, and
Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children
that are corrupters: they have
forsaken the LORD, they have
provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
Alas, O sinful nation, a people
laden with iniquity, a
brood of evildoers, children of
depravity! They have
forsaken the LORD; they have

withered, like a garden without water.
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

And it shall come to pass in the last days,
that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be
exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of
Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so

loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the
haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be
exalted in
that day.
So the pride of man will be brought low, and the
loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be
exalted in
that day,
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair
baldness; and instead of a stomacher a

sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

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

that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
He
dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a
watchtower in the middle and
dug out a winepress as well. He waited for the
vineyard to yield good grapes, but the fruit it produced was
sour!
