To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.

To have respect H5234 of persons H6440 is not H3808 good: H2896 For for H5921 a piece H6595 of bread H3899 that man H1397 will transgress. H6586

Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man’s justice comes from Yahweh.

Is there a thing of which it may be said, “Behold,^§ this is new”? It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

Ecclesiastes 1:10 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.

Is there H3426 any thing H1697 whereof it may be said, H559 See, H7200 this H2088 is new? H2319 H1931 it hath been H1961 already H3528 of old time, H5769 which H834 was H1961 before us. H6440

For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

For H3588 God giveth H5414 to a man H120 that H2896 is good H2896 in his sight^§ H6440 wisdom, H2451 and knowledge, H1847 and joy: H8057 but to the sinner H2398 he giveth H5414 travail, H6045 to gather H622 and to heap up, H3664 that he may give H5414 to H2896 him that is good H2896 before H6440 God.

Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
