forgive your servant in this matter.”

banquet she prepared, and I am invited back
tomorrow along with the king.

I have
sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to
myself?

target, so that I am a burden to You?
If I
justify myself, mine own mouth shall
condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me

Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would
despise my life.
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

myself with snow and

reins be consumed within me.

morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
if I have eaten my
morsel alone, not sharing it with the fatherless—

rejoiced at the destruction of him that
hated me, or lifted up
myself when evil found him:

abhor myself, and
repent in dust and ashes.

repent in dust and ashes.”
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

blameless before Him and kept
myself from iniquity.

sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own
bosom.

sackcloth; I humbled
myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
I
behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down
heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
I
paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one
mourning for his mother.
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that
hated me that did
magnify himself against me; then I would have
hid myself from him:
For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could
endure. It is not a
foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
I will
behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when
wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

adversaries: but I give
myself unto prayer.

myself in thy statutes: I will not
forget thy word.

forget Your word.

I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
I remember Your judgments of old, O LORD, and in them I find comfort.
LORD, my heart is not
haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise
myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not
haughty. I do not
aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.
Surely I have
behaved and quieted
myself, as a child that is
weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a
weaned child.
Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a
weaned child with his mother, like a
weaned child is my soul within me.
I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have
gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem:
yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
I said to myself, “Behold, I have grown and increased in wisdom beyond all those before me who were over Jerusalem, and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.”
I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with
mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good!” But it proved to be
futile.
I sought in mine heart to give
myself unto wine, yet
acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
I sought to
cheer my body with wine and to embrace folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—until I could see what was
worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.
I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
I expanded my pursuits. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself.
I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
I made gardens and parks for myself, where I planted all kinds of fruit trees.
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar
treasure of kings and of the provinces: I
gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
and I accumulated for
myself silver and gold and the
treasure of kings and provinces. I gathered to
myself male and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men—many concubines.
And
whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I
withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart
rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
Anything my eyes desired, I did not deny myself. I refused my heart no pleasure. For my heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor.
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
Then I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what more can the king’s successor do than what has already been accomplished?
The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the
fool walketh in darkness: and I
myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
The wise man has eyes in his head, but the
fool walks in darkness. Yet I also came to
realize that one fate overcomes them both.
Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the
fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
So I said to
myself, “The fate of the
fool will also
befall me. What then have I gained by being wise?” And I said to
myself that this too is
futile.
And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a
fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed
myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
And who knows whether that man will be wise or
foolish? Yet he will take over all the labor at which I have worked
skillfully under the sun. This too is
futile.
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel,
Ah, I will ease me of mine
adversaries, and
avenge me of mine enemies:
Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: “
Ah, I will be relieved of My foes and
avenge Myself on My enemies.
And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and
Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
I will
ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
I will
ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make
myself like the Most High.”
Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be
exalted; now will I lift up
myself.
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift
Myself up. Now I will be
exalted.
I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night
wilt thou make an end of me.
I composed myself until the morning. Like a lion He breaks all my bones; from day until night You make an end of me.
“I have kept silent from ages past; I have remained quiet and restrained. But now I will
groan like a woman in labor; I will at once
gasp and
pant.
This people have I formed for
myself; they shall
shew forth my praise.
The people I formed for Myself will declare My praise.
Thus saith the LORD, thy
redeemer, and he that formed thee from the
womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by
myself;
Thus says the LORD, your
Redeemer who formed you from the
womb: “I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who by
Myself spread out the earth,
I have
sworn by
myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every
knee shall bow, every tongue shall
swear.
By
Myself I have
sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be
revoked: Every
knee will bow before Me, every tongue will
swear allegiance.
For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be
polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
For My own sake, My very own sake, I will act; for how can I let
Myself be
defamed? I will not yield My glory to another.
I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
“I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this?
Should I not
punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not
avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this?
Should I not
punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not
avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
When I would comfort
myself against sorrow, my heart is
faint in me.
Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this?
Should I not
punish them for these things? declares the LORD. Should I not
avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
