Discovery Box| (1.00) | Ecc 3:16 |
| I saw something else on earth: 1 In the place of justice, there was wickedness, and in the place of fairness, 2 there was wickedness. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 3:17 |
| I thought to myself, “God will judge both the righteous and the wicked; for there is an appropriate time for every activity, and there is a time of judgment 1 for every deed. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 3:22 |
| So I perceived there is nothing better than for people 1 to enjoy their work, 2 because that is their 3 reward; for who can show them what the future holds? 4 |
| (1.00) | Ecc 4:1 |
| So 1 I again considered 2 all the oppression 3 that continually occurs 4 on earth. 5 This is what I saw: 6 The oppressed 7 were in tears, 8 but no one was comforting them; no one delivers 9 them from the power of their oppressors. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 4:3 |
| But better than both is the one who has not been born 1 and has not seen the evil things that are done on earth. 2 |
| (1.00) | Ecc 4:4 |
| Then I considered 1 all the skillful work 2 that is done: Surely it is nothing more than 3 competition 4 between one person and another. 5 This also is profitless – like 6 chasing the wind. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 4:5 |
| The fool folds his hands and does no work, 1 so he has nothing to eat but his own flesh. 2 |
| (1.00) | Ecc 4:6 |
| Better is one handful with some rest than two hands full of toil 1 and chasing the wind. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 4:7 |
| So 1 I again considered 2 another 3 futile thing on earth: 4 |
| (1.00) | Ecc 4:8 |
| A man who is all alone with no companion, 1 he has no children nor siblings; 2 yet there is no end to all his toil, and he 3 is never satisfied with riches. He laments, 4 “For whom am I toiling and depriving myself 5 of pleasure?” 6 This also is futile and a burdensome task! 7 |
| (1.00) | Ecc 4:9 |
| Two people are better than one, because they can reap 1 more benefit 2 from their labor. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 4:12 |
| Although an assailant may overpower 1 one person, two can withstand him. Moreover, a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 5:2 |
| Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth! Therefore, let your words be few. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 5:3 |
| Just as dreams come when there are many cares, 1 so 2 the rash vow 3 of a fool occurs 4 when there are many words. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 5:6 |
| Do not let your mouth cause you 1 to sin, and do not tell the priest, 2 “It was a mistake!” 3 Why make God angry at you 4 so that he would destroy the work of your hands?” |
| (1.00) | Ecc 5:7 |
| Just as there is futility in many dreams, so also in many words. 1 Therefore, fear God! |
| (1.00) | Ecc 5:9 |
| The produce of the land is seized 1 by all of them, even the king is served 2 by the fields. 3 |
| (1.00) | Ecc 5:12 |
| The sleep of the laborer is pleasant – whether he eats little or much – but the wealth of the rich will not allow him to sleep. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 5:13 |
| Here is 1 a misfortune 2 on earth 3 that I have seen: Wealth hoarded by its owner to his own misery. |
| (1.00) | Ecc 5:15 |
| Just as he came forth from his mother's womb, naked will he return as he came, and he will take nothing in his hand that he may carry away from his toil. |
