Ecclesiastes 1:1-3:22
2 Corinthians 6:1-13
Psalm 46:1-11
Proverbs 22:15
Ecc 1:1 The words of
the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
Ecc 1:2 Vanity of
vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Ecc 1:3 What profit
hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
Ecc 1:4 One
generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth
abideth for ever.
Ecc 1:5 The sun also
ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
Ecc 1:6 The wind goeth
toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about
continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
Ecc 1:7 All the rivers
run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence
the rivers come, thither they return again.
Ecc 1:8 All things are
full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with
seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
Ecc 1:9 The thing that
hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is
that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the
sun.
Ecc 1:10 Is there any
thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of
old time, which was before us.
Ecc 1:11 There is
no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any
remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come
after.
Ecc 1:12 I the Preacher
was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
Ecc 1:13 And I gave my
heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are
done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be
exercised therewith.
Ecc 1:14 I have seen
all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity
and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 1:15 That which
is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be
numbered.
Ecc 1:16 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.
Ecc 1:17 And I gave my
heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also
is vexation of spirit.
Ecc 1:18 For in much
wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth
sorrow.
Ecc 2:1 I said in mine
heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and,
behold, this also is vanity.
Ecc 2:2 I said of
laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
Ecc 2:3 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.
Ecc 2:4 I made me great
works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
Ecc 2:5 I made me
gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of
fruits:
Ecc 2:6 I made me pools
of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:
Ecc 2:7 I got me
servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great
possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before
me:
Ecc 2:8 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.
Ecc 2:9 So I was great,
and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom
remained with me.
Ecc 2:10 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.
Ecc 2:11 Then I looked
on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had
laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there
was no profit under the sun.
Ecc 2:12 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.
Ecc 2:13 Then I saw
that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
Ecc 2:14 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.
Ecc 2:15 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.
Ecc 2:16 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.
Ecc 2:17 Therefore I
hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous
unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecc 2:18 Yea, I hated
all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto
the man that shall be after me.
Ecc 2:19 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.
Ecc 2:20 Therefore I
went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under
the sun.
Ecc 2:21 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.
Ecc 2:22 For what hath
man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath
laboured under the sun?
Ecc 2:23 For all his
days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest
in the night. This is also vanity.
Ecc 2:24 There is
nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that
he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was
from the hand of God.
Ecc 2:25 For who can
eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
Ecc 2:26 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.
Ecc 3:1 To every thing
there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Ecc 3:2 A time to be
born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which
is planted;
Ecc 3:3 A time to kill,
and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Ecc 3:4 A time to weep,
and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Ecc 3:5 A time to cast
away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a
time to refrain from embracing;
Ecc 3:6 A time to get,
and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Ecc 3:7 A time to rend,
and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Ecc 3:8 A time to love,
and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecc 3:9 What profit
hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
Ecc 3:10 I have seen
the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in
it.
Ecc 3:11 He hath made
every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their
heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning
to the end.
Ecc 3:12 I know that there
is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his
life.
Ecc 3:13 And also that
every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is
the gift of God.
Ecc 3:14 I know that,
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 him.
Ecc 3:15 That which
hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth
that which is past.
Ecc 3:16 And moreover I
saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was
there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was
there.
Ecc 3:17 I said in mine
heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time
there for every purpose and for every work.
Ecc 3:18 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.
Ecc 3:19 For that which
befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as
the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man
hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecc 3:20 All go unto
one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecc 3:21 Who knoweth
the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth
downward to the earth?
Ecc 3:22 Wherefore I
perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in
his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see
what shall be after him?
2Co 6:1 We then, as
workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not
the grace of God in vain.
2Co 6:2 (For he saith,
I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I
succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is
the day of salvation.)
2Co 6:3 Giving no
offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
2Co 6:4 But in all things
approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions,
in necessities, in distresses,
2Co 6:5 In stripes, in
imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
2Co 6:6 By pureness, by
knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love
unfeigned,
2Co 6:7 By the word of
truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand
and on the left,
2Co 6:8 By honour and
dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet
true;
2Co 6:9 As unknown, and
yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not
killed;
2Co 6:10 As sorrowful,
yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet
possessing all things.
2Co 6:11 O ye
Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
2Co 6:12 Ye are not
straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
2Co 6:13 Now for a
recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also
enlarged.
Psa 46:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song
upon Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble.
Psa 46:2 Therefore will
not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried
into the midst of the sea;
Psa 46:3 Though
the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains
shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
Psa 46:4 There is
a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place
of the tabernacles of the most High.
Psa 46:5 God is
in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that
right early.
Psa 46:6 The heathen
raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Psa 46:7 The LORD of
hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Psa 46:8 Come, behold
the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
Psa 46:9 He maketh wars
to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear
in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
Psa 46:10 Be still, and
know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be
exalted in the earth.
Psa 46:11 The LORD of
hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Pro 22:15 Foolishness is
bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it
far from him.
