Ecclesiastes 12
in the days
<03117>
<03117>
of thy youth
<0979>_,
<0979>_,
while the evil
<07451>
<07451>
days
<03117>
<03117>
not, nor the years
<08141>
<08141>
I have no pleasure
<02656>
in them;<02656>
While the sun
<08121>_,
<08121>_,
or the light
<0216>_,
<0216>_,
or the moon
<03394>_,
<03394>_,
or the stars
<03556>_,
<03556>_,
nor the clouds
<05645>
<05645>
after
<0310>
<0310>
the rain
<01653>_:
<01653>_:
In the day
<03117>
<03117>
of the house
<01004>
<01004>
and the strong
<02428>
<02428>
men
<0582>
<0582>
of the windows
<0699>
{the grinders...: or, the grinders fail, because they grind little}<0699>
And the doors
<01817>
<01817>
in the streets
<07784>_,
<07784>_,
when the sound
<06963>
<06963>
of the grinding
<02913>
<02913>
is low
<08217>_,
<08217>_,
at the voice
<06963>
<06963>
of the bird
<06833>_,
<06833>_,
and all the daughters
<01323>
<01323>
of musick
<07892>
<07892>
of [that which is] high
<01364>_,
<01364>_,
and fears
<02849>
<02849>
[shall be] in the way
<01870>_,
<01870>_,
and the almond tree
<08247>
<08247>
and the grasshopper
<02284>
<02284>
and desire
<035>
<035>
because man
<0120>
<0120>
to his long
<05769>
<05769>
home
<01004>_,
<01004>_,
the streets
<07784>_:
<07784>_:
Or ever
<03808>
<03808>
the silver
<03701>
<03701>
cord
<02256>
<02256>
or the golden
<02091>
<02091>
bowl
<01543>
<01543>
or the pitcher
<03537>
<03537>
at the fountain
<04002>_,
<04002>_,
or the wheel
<01534>
<01534>
at the cistern
<0953>_.
<0953>_.
Then shall the dust
<06083>
<06083>
to the earth
<0776>
<0776>
as it was: and the spirit
<07307>
<07307>
unto God
<0430>
it.<0430>
And moreover
<03148>_,
<03148>_,
because the preacher
<06953>
<06953>
was wise
<02450>_,
<02450>_,
the people
<05971>
<05971>
knowledge
<01847>_;
<01847>_;
proverbs
<04912>_.
{moreover...: or, the more wise the preacher was, etc}<04912>_.
The preacher
<06953>
<06953>
acceptable
<02656>
<02656>
words
<01697>_:
<01697>_:
[was] upright
<03476>_,
<03476>_,
[even] words
<01697>
<01697>
of truth
<0571>_.
{acceptable...: Heb. words of delight}<0571>_.
The words
<01697>
<01697>
of the wise
<02450>
<02450>
[are] as goads
<01861>_,
<01861>_,
and as nails
<04930>
<04930>
[by] the masters
<01167>
<01167>
of assemblies
<0627>_,
<0627>_,
from one
<0259>
<0259>
And further
<03148>_,
<03148>_,
by these
<01992>_,
<01992>_,
my son
<01121>_,
<01121>_,
books
<05612>
<05612>
[there is] no end
<07093>_;
<07093>_;
study
<03854>
<03854>
[is] a weariness
<03024>
<03024>
of the flesh
<01320>_.
{study: or, reading}<01320>_.
