Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
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.”
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
For with much wisdom comes much sorrow, and as knowledge grows, grief increases.
I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee
with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
I said to 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.
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
So I became great and surpassed all in Jerusalem who had preceded me; and my wisdom remained with me.
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.
For there is no
remembrance of the wise more than of the
fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the
fool.
For there is no lasting
remembrance of the wise, just as
with the
fool, seeing that both will be forgotten in the days to come.
Alas, the wise man will die just like the
fool!
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in
equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
When there is a man who has labored
with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is
futile and a great evil.
For what hath man of all his labour, and of the
vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
For what does a man get for all the
toil and
striving with which he labors under the sun?
For all his days are sorrows, and his
travail grief;
yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
Indeed, all his days are filled
with grief, and his task is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is
futile.
Better is an handful
with quietness, than both the hands full
with travail and
vexation of spirit.
Better one handful
with tranquility than two handfuls
with toil and pursuit of the wind.
There is one alone, and there is not a second;
yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied
with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and
bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity,
yea, it is a
sore travail.
There is a man all alone,
without even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content
with his wealth: “For whom do I
toil and
bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is
futile—a
miserable task.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but
woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
For if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but
pity the one who falls
without another to help him up!
And if one prevail against him, two shall
withstand him; and a
threefold cord is not quickly broken.
And though one may be overpowered, two can resist. Moreover, a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
I considered all the living which walk under the sun,
with the second child that shall stand up in his
stead.
I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed this second one, the youth who succeeded the king.
Be not
rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be
hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
Do not be quick to speak, and do not be
hasty in your heart to utter a word before God. After all, God is in heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few.
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.
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be
angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, and do not tell the
messenger that your
vow was a mistake. Why should God be
angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands?
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
He who loves money is never satisfied by money, and he who loves wealth is never satisfied by income. This too is
futile.
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
When good things increase, so do those who
consume them; what then is the profit to the owner, except to behold them
with his eyes?
All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.
For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
For a man seldom considers the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the joy of his heart.
If a man
beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled
with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
A man may father a hundred children and live for many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he is unsatisfied
with his prosperity and does not even receive a proper burial, I say that a
stillborn child is better off than he.
For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he
contend with him that is mightier than he.
Whatever exists was named long ago, and what happens to a man is
foreknown; but he cannot
contend with one stronger than he.
Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good, and it benefits those who see 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.
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.
But it shall not be well
with the wicked, neither shall he
prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well
with them, and their days will not
lengthen like a shadow.
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—
Go thy way, eat thy bread
with joy, and drink thy wine
with a
merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
Go, eat your bread
with joy, and drink your wine
with a
cheerful heart, for God has already approved your works:
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.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it
with thy might; for there is no work, nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave,
whither thou goest.
Whatever you find to do
with your hands, do it
with all your might, for in
Sheol, where you are going, there is no work or
planning or knowledge or wisdom.
There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
There was a small city with few men. A mighty king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siege ramps against it.
If the
snake bites before it is charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.
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.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, along with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.
Let him
kiss me
with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
Let him
kiss me
with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is more delightful than wine.
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.
Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were
angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own
vineyard have I not kept.
Do not
stare because I am dark, for the sun has
gazed upon me. My mother’s sons were
angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards, but my own
vineyard I have neglected.

darling; come away
with me, my beautiful one.”

Thou hast
ravished my heart, my sister, my
spouse; thou hast
ravished my heart
with one of thine eyes,
with one chain of thy neck.
You have captured my heart, my sister, my
bride; you have
stolen my heart
with one
glance of your eyes,
with one
jewel of your neck.
Your branches are an
orchard of pomegranates
with the choicest of fruits,
with henna and
nard,
I am come into my garden, my sister, my
spouse: I have gathered my
myrrh with my
spice; I have eaten my
honeycomb with my honey; I have
drunk my wine
with my milk: eat, O friends; drink,
yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

dove, my

with the drops of the night.
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped
with myrrh, and my fingers
with sweet smelling
myrrh, upon the handles of the
lock.
I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands
dripped with myrrh, my fingers

festering sores neither
cleansed nor
bandaged nor
soothed with oil.

desolate, your cities are burned
with fire: your land, strangers
devour it in your presence, and it is

assemblies, I cannot away
with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

detestable to Me— your New Moons, Sabbaths, and convocations. I cannot
endure iniquity in a solemn assembly.

listen. Your hands are covered
with blood.

chariots.

vineyard; the
plunder of the poor is in your houses.
Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of
Zion are
haughty, and walk
with stretched forth necks and
wanton eyes, walking and
mincing as they go, and making a
tinkling with their feet:
Therefore the LORD will
smite with a
scab the crown of the head of the daughters of
Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of
Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”

fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it
with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

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!
