The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

The wicked H7563 flee H5127 (QalPerf) when no man pursueth: H7291 (QalActPtc) But the righteous H6662 are bold H982 (QalImpf) as a lion. H3715

φευγει ασεβης μηδενος διωκοντος δικαιος δε ωσπερ λεων πεποιθεν

A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.

A poor H7326 (QalActPtc) man H1397 that oppresseth H6231 (QalActPtc) the poor H1800 Is like a sweeping H5502 (QalActPtc) rain H4306 which leaveth no food.^§ H3899

Proverbs 28:3 Heb. without food

ανδρειος εν ασεβειαις συκοφαντει πτωχους ωσπερ υετος λαβρος και ανωφελης

Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.

Whoso robbeth H1497 (QalActPtc) his father H1 or his mother, H517 and saith, H559 (QalActPtc) It is no transgression; H6588 The same is the companion H2270 of a destroyer.^§ H376 H7843 (HiphPtc)

Proverbs 28:24 Heb. a man destroying

ος αποβαλλεται πατερα η μητερα και δοκει μη αμαρτανειν ουτος κοινωνος εστιν ανδρος ασεβους

One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.

He that giveth H5414 (QalActPtc) unto the poor H7326 (QalActPtc) shall not lack: H4270 But he that hideth H5956 (HiphPtc) his eyes H5869 shall have many H7227 a curse. H3994

ος διδωσιν πτωχοις ουκ ενδεηθησεται ος δε αποστρεφει τον οφθαλμον αυτου εν πολλη απορια εσται

He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

He, H376 that being often reproved H8433 hardeneth H7185 (HiphPtc) his neck, H6203 Shall suddenly H6621 be destroyed, H7665 (NiphImpf) and that without remedy. H4832

κρεισσων ανηρ ελεγχων ανδρος σκληροτραχηλου εξαπινης γαρ φλεγομενου αυτου ουκ εστιν ιασις

If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.

If a wise H2450 man H376 contendeth H8199 (NiphPtc) with a foolish H191 man, H376 Whether he rage H7264 (QalPerf) or laugh, H7832 (QalPerf) there is no rest. H5183

ανηρ σοφος κρινει εθνη ανηρ δε φαυλος οργιζομενος καταγελαται και ου καταπτησσει

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but one who keeps the law is blessed.

Where there is no vision, H2377 the people H5971 perish:^§ H6544 (NiphImpf) But he that keepeth H8104 (QalActPtc) the law, H8451 happy H835 is he.

Proverbs 29:18 Or, is made naked

ου μη υπαρξη εξηγητης εθνει παρανομω ο δε φυλασσων τον νομον μακαριστος

A servant can’t be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond.

A servant H5650 will not be corrected H3256 (NiphImpf) by words: H1697 For though he understand H995 (QalImpf) he will not answer. H4617

λογοις ου παιδευθησεται οικετης σκληρος εαν γαρ και νοηση αλλ ουχ υπακουσεται

The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks.

The locusts H697 have no king, H4428 Yet go they forth H3318 (QalImpf) all of them by bands;^§ H2686 (QalActPtc)

Proverbs 30:27 Heb. gathered together

αβασιλευτον εστιν η ακρις και εκστρατευει αφ ενος κελευσματος ευτακτως

All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again.

All the rivers H5158 run H1980 (QalActPtc) into the sea; H3220 yet the sea H3220 is not full; H4392 unto the place H4725 from whence the rivers H5158 come, H1980 (QalActPtc) thither they return H7725 (QalActPtc) again.^§ H3212 (QalInf)

Ecclesiastes 1:7 Heb. return to go

παντες οι χειμαρροι πορευονται εις την θαλασσαν και η θαλασσα ουκ εσται εμπιμπλαμενη εις τοπον ου οι χειμαρροι πορευονται εκει αυτοι επιστρεφουσιν του πορευθηναι

That which has been is that which shall be, and that which has been done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done H6213 (NiphPerf) is that which shall be done: H6213 (NiphImpf) and there is no new H2319 thing under the sun. H8121

τι το γεγονος αυτο το γενησομενον και τι το πεποιημενον αυτο το ποιηθησομενον και ουκ εστιν παν προσφατον υπο τον ηλιον

There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, among those that shall come after.

There is no remembrance H2146 of former H7223 things; neither shall there be any remembrance H2146 of things that are to come H314 with those that shall come after. H314

ουκ εστιν μνημη τοις πρωτοις και γε τοις εσχατοις γενομενοις ουκ εσται αυτοις μνημη μετα των γενησομενων εις την εσχατην

Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

Then I looked H6437 (QalPerf) on all the works H4639 that my hands H3027 had wrought, H6213 (QalPerf) and on the labour H5999 that I had laboured H5998 (QalPerf) to do: H6213 (QalInf) and, behold, all was vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit, H7307 and there was no profit H3504 under the sun. H8121

και επεβλεψα εγω εν πασιν ποιημασιν μου οις εποιησαν αι χειρες μου και εν μοχθω ω εμοχθησα του ποιειν και ιδου τα παντα ματαιοτης και προαιρεσις πνευματος και ουκ εστιν περισσεια υπο τον ηλιον

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory forever, since in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!

For there is no remembrance H2146 of the wise H2450 more than H5973 of the fool H3684 for ever; H5769 seeing that which now H3528 is in the days H3117 to come H935 (QalActPtc) shall all be forgotten. H7911 (NiphPerf) And how dieth H4191 (QalImpf) the wise H2450 man? as the fool. H3684

οτι ουκ εστιν μνημη του σοφου μετα του αφρονος εις αιωνα καθοτι ηδη αι ημεραι αι ερχομεναι τα παντα επελησθη και πως αποθανειται ο σοφος μετα του αφρονος

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

There is nothing better H2896 for a man, H120 than that he should eat H398 (QalImpf) and drink, H8354 (QalPerf) and that he should make his soul H5315 enjoy^§ H7200 (HiphPerf) good H2896 in his labour. H5999 This H2090 also I saw, H7200 (QalPerf) that it was from the hand H3027 of God. H430

Ecclesiastes 2:24 Or, delight his senses

ουκ εστιν αγαθον εν ανθρωπω ο φαγεται και ο πιεται και ο δειξει τη ψυχη αυτου αγαθον εν μοχθω αυτου και γε τουτο ειδον εγω οτι απο χειρος του θεου εστιν

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live.

I know H3045 (QalPerf) that there is no good H2896 in them, but for a man to rejoice, H8055 (QalInf) and to do H6213 (QalInf) good H2896 in his life. H2416

εγνων οτι ουκ εστιν αγαθον εν αυτοις ει μη του ευφρανθηναι και του ποιειν αγαθον εν ζωη αυτου

I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.

I know H3045 (QalPerf) that, whatsoever God H430 doeth, H6213 (QalImpf) it shall be for ever: H5769 nothing H369 can be put H3254 (HiphInf) to it, nor any thing taken H1639 (QalInf) from it: and God H430 doeth H6213 (QalPerf) it, that men should fear H3372 (QalImpf) before H6440 him.

εγνων οτι παντα οσα εποιησεν ο θεος αυτα εσται εις τον αιωνα επ αυτω ουκ εστιν προσθειναι και απ αυτου ουκ εστιν αφελειν και ο θεος εποιησεν ινα φοβηθωσιν απο προσωπου αυτου

For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals, for all is vanity.

For that which befalleth H4745 the sons H1121 of men H120 befalleth H4745 beasts; H929 even one thing H259 befalleth H4745 them: as the one dieth, H4194 so dieth H4194 the other; H2088 yea, they have all one H259 breath; H7307 so that a man H120 hath no preeminence H4195 above a beast: H929 for all is vanity. H1892

οτι συναντημα υιων του ανθρωπου και συναντημα του κτηνους συναντημα εν αυτοις ως ο θανατος τουτου ουτως ο θανατος τουτου και πνευμα εν τοις πασιν και τι επερισσευσεν ο ανθρωπος παρα το κτηνος ουδεν οτι τα παντα ματαιοτης

Therefore I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his works, for that is his portion; for who can bring him to see what will be after him?

Wherefore I perceive H7200 (QalPerf) that there is nothing better, H2896 than that a man H120 should rejoice H8055 (QalImpf) in his own works; H4639 for that is his portion: H2506 for who shall bring H935 (HiphImpf) him to see H7200 (QalInf) what shall be after H310 him?

και ειδον οτι ουκ εστιν αγαθον ει μη ο ευφρανθησεται ο ανθρωπος εν ποιημασιν αυτου οτι αυτο μερις αυτου οτι τις αξει αυτον του ιδειν εν ω εαν γενηται μετ αυτον

Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold, the tears of those who were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

So I returned, H7725 (QalPerf) and conside^§red H7200 (QalImpf) all the oppressions H6217 that are done H6213 (NiphPtc) under the sun: H8121 and behold the tears H1832 of such as were oppressed, H6231 (QalPasPtc) and they had no comforter; H5162 (PielPtc) and on the side H3027 of their oppressors H6231 (QalActPtc) there was power; H3581 but they had no comforter. H5162 (PielPtc)

Ecclesiastes 4:1 Heb. hand

και επεστρεψα εγω και ειδον συν πασας τας συκοφαντιας τας γινομενας υπο τον ηλιον και ιδου δακρυον των συκοφαντουμενων και ουκ εστιν αυτοις παρακαλων και απο χειρος συκοφαντουντων αυτους ισχυς και ουκ εστιν αυτοις παρακαλων

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. “For whom then do I labor and deprive my soul of enjoyment?” This also is vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.

There is H3426 one H259 alone, and there is not a second; H8145 yea, he hath neither child H1121 nor brother: H251 yet is there no end H7093 of all his labour; H5999 neither is his eye H5869 satisfied H7646 (QalImpf) with riches; H6239 neither saith he, For whom do I labour, H6001 and bereave H2637 (PielPtc) my soul H5315 of good? H2896 This is also vanity, H1892 yea, it is a sore H7451 travail. H6045

εστιν εις και ουκ εστιν δευτερος και γε υιος και αδελφος ουκ εστιν αυτω και ουκ εστιν περασμος τω παντι μοχθω αυτου και γε οφθαλμος αυτου ουκ εμπιπλαται πλουτου και τινι εγω μοχθω και στερισκω την ψυχην μου απο αγαθωσυνης και γε τουτο ματαιοτης και περισπασμος πονηρος εστιν

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up.

For if they fall, H5307 (QalImpf) the one H259 will lift up H6965 (HiphImpf) his fellow: H2270 but woe H337 to him that is alone H259 when he falleth; H5307 (QalImpf) for he hath not another H8145 to help him up. H6965 (HiphInf)

οτι εαν πεσωσιν ο εις εγερει τον μετοχον αυτου και ουαι αυτω τω ενι οταν πεση και μη η δευτερος του εγειραι αυτον

There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was—yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

There is no end H7093 of all the people, H5971 even of all that have been before H6440 them: they also that come after H314 shall not rejoice H8055 (QalImpf) in him. Surely this also is vanity H1892 and vexation H7475 of spirit. H7307

ουκ εστιν περασμος τω παντι λαω τοις πασιν οσοι εγενοντο εμπροσθεν αυτων και γε οι εσχατοι ουκ ευφρανθησονται εν αυτω οτι και γε τουτο ματαιοτης και προαιρεσις πνευματος

Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.

Keep H8104 (QalImpv) thy foot H7272 when thou goest H3212 (QalImpf) to the house H1004 of God, H430 and be more ready H7138 to hear, H8085 (QalInf) than to give H5414 (QalInf) the sacrifice H2077 of fools: H3684 for they consider H3045 (QalActPtc) not that they do H6213 (QalInf) evil. H7451

^[4:17] φυλαξον ποδα σου εν ω εαν πορευη εις οικον του θεου και εγγυς του ακουειν υπερ δομα των αφρονων θυσια σου οτι ουκ εισιν ειδοτες του ποιησαι κακον

When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.

When thou vowest H5087 (QalImpf) a vow H5088 unto God, H430 defer H309 (PielImpf) not to pay H7999 (PielInf) it; for he hath no pleasure H2656 in fools: H3684 pay H7999 (PielImpv) that which thou hast vowed. H5087 (QalImpf)

^[5:3] καθως αν ευξη ευχην τω θεω μη χρονισης του αποδουναι αυτην οτι ουκ εστιν θελημα εν αφροσιν συν οσα εαν ευξη αποδος

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

The sleep H8142 of a labouring man H5647 (QalActPtc) is sweet, H4966 whether he eat H398 (QalImpf) little H4592 or much: H7235 (HiphInf) but the abundance H7647 of the rich H6223 will not suffer H3240 (HiphPtc) him to sleep. H3462 (QalInf)

^[5:11] γλυκυς υπνος του δουλου ει ολιγον και ει πολυ φαγεται και τω εμπλησθεντι του πλουτησαι ουκ εστιν αφιων αυτον του υπνωσαι

Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.

But those riches H6239 perish H6 (QalPerf) by evil H7451 travail: H6045 and he begetteth H3205 (HiphPerf) a son, H1121 and there is nothing H3972 in his hand. H3027

^[5:13] και απολειται ο πλουτος εκεινος εν περισπασμω πονηρω και εγεννησεν υιον και ουκ εστιν εν χειρι αυτου ουδεν

a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

a man H376 to whom God H430 hath given H5414 (QalImpf) riches, H6239 wealth, H5233 and honour, H3519 so that he wanteth H2638 nothing for his soul H5315 of all that he desireth, H183 (HithImpf) yet God H430 giveth him not power H7980 (HiphImpf) to eat H398 (QalInf) thereof, but a stranger H376 H5237 eateth H398 (QalImpf) it: this is vanity, H1892 and it is an evil H7451 disease. H2483

ανηρ ω δωσει αυτω ο θεος πλουτον και υπαρχοντα και δοξαν και ουκ εστιν υστερων τη ψυχη αυτου απο παντων ων επιθυμησει και ουκ εξουσιασει αυτω ο θεος του φαγειν απ αυτου οτι ανηρ ξενος φαγεται αυτον τουτο ματαιοτης και αρρωστια πονηρα εστιν

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.

For there is not a just H6662 man H120 upon earth, H776 that doeth H6213 (QalImpf) good, H2896 and sinneth H2398 (QalImpf) not.

οτι ανθρωπος ουκ εστιν δικαιος εν τη γη ος ποιησει αγαθον και ουχ αμαρτησεται

For he doesn’t know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?

For he knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) not that which shall be: for who can tell H5046 (HiphImpf) him when it shall be?^§

Ecclesiastes 8:7 Or, how it shall be?

οτι ουκ εστιν γινωσκων τι το εσομενον οτι καθως εσται τις αναγγελει αυτω

There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

There is no man H120 that hath power H7989 over the spirit H7307 to retain H3607 (QalInf) the spirit; H7307 neither hath he power H7983 in the day H3117 of death: H4194 and there is no discharge^§ H4917 in that war; H4421 neither shall wickedness H7562 deliver H4422 (PielImpf) those that are given H1167 to it.

Ecclesiastes 8:8 Or, casting of weapons

ουκ εστιν ανθρωπος εξουσιαζων εν πνευματι του κωλυσαι συν το πνευμα και ουκ εστιν εξουσια εν ημερα του θανατου και ουκ εστιν αποστολη εν τω πολεμω και ου διασωσει ασεβεια τον παρ αυτης

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Because sentence H6599 against an evil H7451 work H4639 is not executed H6213 (NiphPerf) speedily, H4120 therefore the heart H3820 of the sons H1121 of men H120 is fully set H4390 (QalPerf) in them to do H6213 (QalInf) evil. H7451

οτι ουκ εστιν γινομενη αντιρρησις απο των ποιουντων το πονηρον ταχυ δια τουτο επληροφορηθη καρδια υιων του ανθρωπου εν αυτοις του ποιησαι το πονηρον

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he lengthen days like a shadow, because he doesn’t fear God.

but it shall not be well H2896 with the wicked, H7563 neither shall he prolong H748 (HiphImpf) his days, H3117 which are as a shadow; H6738 because he feareth H3373 not before H6440 God. H430

και αγαθον ουκ εσται τω ασεβει και ου μακρυνει ημερας εν σκια ος ουκ εστιν φοβουμενος απο προσωπου του θεου

Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat, to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

Then I commended H7623 (PielPerf) mirth, H8057 because a man H120 hath no better thing H2896 under the sun, H8121 than to eat, H398 (QalInf) and to drink, H8354 (QalInf) and to be merry: H8055 (QalInf) for that shall abide H3867 (QalImpf) with him of his labour H5999 the days H3117 of his life, H2416 which God H430 giveth H5414 (QalPerf) him under the sun. H8121

και επηνεσα εγω συν την ευφροσυνην οτι ουκ εστιν αγαθον τω ανθρωπω υπο τον ηλιον οτι ει μη του φαγειν και του πιειν και του ευφρανθηναι και αυτο συμπροσεσται αυτω εν μοχθω αυτου ημερας ζωης αυτου οσας εδωκεν αυτω ο θεος υπο τον ηλιον

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth (even though eyes see no sleep day or night),

When I applied H5414 (QalPerf) mine heart H3820 to know H3045 (QalInf) wisdom, H2451 and to see H7200 (QalInf) the business H6045 that is done H6213 (NiphPerf) upon the earth: H776 (for also there is that neither day H3117 nor night H3915 seeth H7200 (QalActPtc) sleep H8142 with his eyes:) H5869

εν οις εδωκα την καρδιαν μου του γνωναι σοφιαν και του ιδειν τον περισπασμον τον πεποιημενον επι της γης οτι και γε εν ημερα και εν νυκτι υπνον εν οφθαλμοις αυτου ουκ εστιν βλεπων

For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.

For all this I considered H5414 (QalPerf) in my heart^§ H3820 even to declare H952 (QalInf) all this, that the righteous, H6662 and the wise, H2450 and their works, H5652 are in the hand H3027 of God: H430 no man H120 knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) either H1571 love H160 or hatred H8135 by all that is before H6440 them.

Ecclesiastes 9:1 Heb. I gave, or set to my heart

οτι συν παν τουτο εδωκα εις καρδιαν μου και καρδια μου συν παν ειδεν τουτο ως οι δικαιοι και οι σοφοι και εργασιαι αυτων εν χειρι του θεου και γε αγαπην και γε μισος ουκ εστιν ειδως ο ανθρωπος τα παντα προ προσωπου αυτων

All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.

All things come alike to all: there is one H259 event H4745 to the righteous, H6662 and to the wicked; H7563 to the good H2896 and to the clean, H2889 and to the unclean; H2931 to him that sacrificeth, H2076 (QalActPtc) and to him that H834 sacrificeth H2076 (QalActPtc) not: as is the good, H2896 so is the sinner; H2398 (QalActPtc) and he that sweareth, H7650 (NiphPtc) as he that feareth H3373 an oath. H7621

ματαιοτης εν τοις πασιν συναντημα εν τω δικαιω και τω ασεβει τω αγαθω και τω κακω και τω καθαρω και τω ακαθαρτω και τω θυσιαζοντι και τω μη θυσιαζοντι ως ο αγαθος ως ο αμαρτανων ως ο ομνυων καθως ο τον ορκον φοβουμενος

For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten.

For the living H2416 know H3045 (QalActPtc) that they shall die: H4191 (QalImpf) but the dead H4191 (QalPtc) know H3045 (QalActPtc) not any thing, H3972 neither have they any more a reward; H7939 for the memory H2143 of them is forgotten. H7911 (NiphPerf)

οτι οι ζωντες γνωσονται οτι αποθανουνται και οι νεκροι ουκ εισιν γινωσκοντες ουδεν και ουκ εστιν αυτοις ετι μισθος οτι επελησθη η μνημη αυτων

Also their love, their hatred, and their envy has perished long ago; neither do they any longer have a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.

Also their love, H160 and their hatred, H8135 and their envy, H7068 is now H3528 perished; H6 (QalPerf) neither have they any more a portion H2506 for ever H5769 in any thing that is done H6213 (NiphPerf) under the sun. H8121

και γε αγαπη αυτων και γε μισος αυτων και γε ζηλος αυτων ηδη απωλετο και μερις ουκ εστιν αυτοις ετι εις αιωνα εν παντι τω πεποιημενω υπο τον ηλιον

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol,° where you are going.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 Sheol is the place of the dead.

Whatsoever thy hand H3027 findeth H4672 (QalImpf) to do, H6213 (QalInf) do H6213 (QalImpv) it with thy might; H3581 for there is no work, H4639 nor device, H2808 nor knowledge, H1847 nor wisdom, H2451 in the grave, H7585 whither thou goest. H1980 (QalActPtc)

παντα οσα αν ευρη η χειρ σου του ποιησαι ως η δυναμις σου ποιησον οτι ουκ εστιν ποιημα και λογισμος και γνωσις και σοφια εν αδη οπου συ πορευη εκει

Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

Then said H559 (QalPerf) I, Wisdom H2451 is better H2896 than strength: H1369 nevertheless the poor man’s H4542 wisdom H2451 is despised, H959 (QalPasPtc) and his words H1697 are not heard. H8085 (NiphPtc)

και ειπα εγω αγαθη σοφια υπερ δυναμιν και σοφια του πενητος εξουδενωμενη και λογοι αυτου ουκ εισιν ακουομενοι

If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.

Surely the serpent H5175 will bite H5391 (QalImpf) without enchantment; H3908 and a babbler^§ H3956 H1167 is no better. H3504

Ecclesiastes 10:11 Heb. the master of the tongue

εαν δακη ο οφις εν ου ψιθυρισμω και ουκ εστιν περισσεια τω επαδοντι

As you don’t know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you don’t know the work of God who does all.

As thou knowest H3045 (QalActPtc) not what is the way H1870 of the spirit, H7307 nor how the bones H6106 do grow in the womb H990 of her that is with child: H4392 even so thou knowest H3045 (QalImpf) not the works H4639 of God H430 who maketh H6213 (QalImpf) all.

εν οις ουκ εστιν γινωσκων τις η οδος του πνευματος ως οστα εν γαστρι της κυοφορουσης ουτως ου γνωση τα ποιηματα του θεου οσα ποιησει συν τα παντα

In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.

In the morning H1242 sow H2232 (QalImpv) thy seed, H2233 and in the evening H6153 withhold H3240 (HiphImpf) not thine hand: H3027 for thou knowest H3045 (QalActPtc) not whether H335 shall prosper,^§ H3787 (QalImpf) either this or that, or whether they both H8147 shall be alike H259 good. H2896

Ecclesiastes 11:6 Heb. shall be right

εν πρωια σπειρον το σπερμα σου και εις εσπεραν μη αφετω η χειρ σου οτι ου γινωσκεις ποιον στοιχησει η τουτο η τουτο και εαν τα δυο επι το αυτο αγαθα

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near, when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them;”

Remember H2142 (QalImpv) now thy Creator H1254 (QalActPtc) in the days H3117 of thy youth, H979 while the evil H7451 days H3117 come H935 (QalImpf) not, nor the years H8141 draw nigh, H5060 (HiphPerf) when thou shalt say, H559 (QalImpf) I have no pleasure H2656 in them;

και μνησθητι του κτισαντος σε εν ημεραις νεοτητος σου εως οτου μη ελθωσιν ημεραι της κακιας και φθασωσιν ετη εν οις ερεις ουκ εστιν μοι εν αυτοις θελημα

Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

And further, H3148 by these, H1992 my son, H1121 be admonished: H2094 (NiphImpv) of making H6213 (QalInf) many H7235 (HiphInf) books H5612 there is no end; H7093 and much H7235 (HiphInf) study^§ H3854 is a weariness H3024 of the flesh. H1320

οδοντες σου ως αγελαι των κεκαρμενων αι ανεβησαν απο του λουτρου αι πασαι διδυμευουσαι και ατεκνουσα ουκ εστιν εν αυταις

You are all beautiful, my love. There is no spot in you.

ολη καλη ει η πλησιον μου και μωμος ουκ εστιν εν σοι

Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing, of which every one has twins; not one is bereaved among them.

Thy teeth H8127 are as a flock H5739 of sheep H7353 Which go up H5927 (QalPerf) from the washing, H7367 Whereof every one beareth twins, H8382 (HiphPtc) And there is not one barren H7909 among them.

οδοντες σου ως αγελαι των κεκαρμενων αι ανεβησαν απο του λουτρου αι πασαι διδυμευουσαι και ατεκνουσα ουκ εστιν εν αυταις
