considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had
toiled to
achieve, I found everything to be
futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

ahead, whether love or
hate.

shook the earth and made the kingdoms
tremble,

shimmering heat in the
sunshine, like a cloud of

bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

bucket; they are

considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire;
yea, also I have
baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have
roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an
abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
And no one
considers in his heart, no one has the knowledge or insight to say, “I burned half of it in the fire, and I
baked bread on its coals; I
roasted meat and I
ate. Shall I make something
detestable with the rest of it? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”

didst remember the latter end of it.

forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or
consider their outcome.

considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil.

sinner being an hundred years old shall be
accursed.
