Him.

greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.

Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught

him:

For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the
sinner he giveth
travail, to gather and to
heap up, that he may give to
him that is good before God. This also is vanity and
vexation of spirit.
To 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.

whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before

forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear
Him.

rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring
him to see what shall be after
him?

him up!

rejoice in
him. Surely this also is vanity and
vexation of spirit.

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given
him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to
rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
Furthermore, God has given riches and wealth to every man, and He has enabled
him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to
rejoice in his labor. This is a gift from God.
For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
God gives a man riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing his heart desires; but God does not allow
him to enjoy them. Instead, a stranger will enjoy them. This is
futile and a
grievous affliction.

fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

fool? What gain comes to the poor man who knows how to conduct
himself before others?
That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he

adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after
him.

Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
For the king’s word is supreme, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
For there is a right time and procedure to every purpose, though a man’s misery weighs
heavily upon
him.

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:

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.
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.
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

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.

fool.
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.
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?
The labour of the
foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.

toil of a
fool wearies
him, for he does not know the way to the city.
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.

futile.

On my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and squares. I will seek the one I love. So I sought him but did not find him.
The
watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye
him whom my soul loveth?
It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
I had just passed them when I found the one I love. I held him and would not let go until I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the chamber of the one who conceived me.

Zion, and

wedding— the day of his heart’s
rejoicing.

bowels were moved for
him.
My beloved put his hand to the

him.

I opened for my beloved, but he had turned and gone. My heart
sank at his departure. I sought
him, but did not find
him. I called, but he did not answer.

forsaken the LORD, they have
provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

him make speed, and
hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw
nigh and come, that we may know it!
to those who say, “Let
Him hurry and
hasten His work so that we may see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come so that we may know it!”
Which
justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from
him!
who
acquit the guilty for a
bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.

Shall the
axe boast itself against
him that heweth
therewith? or shall the saw
magnify itself against
him that shaketh it? as if the rod should
shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
Does an
axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw
boast over
him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting
him who is not wood!

him that

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

Him who
planned it long ago.
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast
hewed thee out a
sepulchre here, as he that heweth
him out a
sepulchre on high, and that graveth an
habitation for
himself in a rock?

carve out a tomb for
yourself here—to
chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?

hang on
him all the glory of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from
bowls to every kind of
jar.

usury, so with the giver of
usury to
him.
