Portal:Covenant Press, Literal Standard Version — Ecclesiastes (2020)

“ I have said, "I am wise," and it [is] far from me. 24 Far off [is] that which has been, and deep, deep, who finds it? 25 I have turned around, also my heart, to know and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and reason, and to know the wrong of folly, and the madness of foolishness. 26 And I am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart [is] nets and snares, her hands [are] bands; the good before God escapes from her, but the sinner is captured by her. ”

“ There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrongdoer prolonging [himself] in his wrong. 16 Do not be over-righteous, nor show yourself too wise, why are you desolate? 17 Do not do much wrong, neither be a fool, why do you die within your time? 18 [It is] good that you lay hold on this, and also, do not withdraw your hand from that, for whoever is fearing God goes out with them all. 19 The wisdom gives strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city. 20 Because there is not a righteous man on earth that does good and does not sin. ”

“ Chapter 4 1 And I have turned, and I see all the oppressions that are done under the sun, and behold, the tear of the oppressed, and they have no comforter; and at the hand of their oppressors [is] power, and they have no comforter. 2 And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive. 3 And better than both of them [is] he who has not yet been, in that he has not seen the evil work that has been done under the sun. 4 And I have seen all the labor, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbor. ”

“ I did not withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this has been my portion, from all my labor, 11 and I have looked on all my works that my hands have done, and on the labor that I have labored to do, and behold, the whole [is] vanity and distress of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun! 12 And I turned to see wisdom, and madness, and folly, but what [is] the man who comes after the king? ”

“ Chapter 5 1 Keep your feet when you go to a house of God, and draw near to hear rather than to give of fools the sacrifice, for they do not know they do evil. 2 Do not cause your mouth to hurry, and do not let your heart hurry to bring out a word before God, for God is in the heavens, and you on the earth, therefore let your words be few. 3 For the dream has come by abundance of business, and the voice of a fool by abundance of words. ”

“ Why is God angry because of your voice and has destroyed the work of your hands? 7 For in the abundance of dreams both vanities and words abound; but fear God. 8 If oppression of the poor, and violent taking away of judgment and righteousness you see in a province, do not marvel at the matter, for a higher than the high is observing, and high ones [are] over them. 9 And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field is served. ”

“ Even this [is] vanity and a great evil. 22 For what has been to a man by all his labor, and by the thought of his heart that he labored at under the sun? 23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail sadness; even at night his heart has not lain down; this [is] also vanity. 24 There is nothing good in a man who eats, and has drunk, and has shown his soul good in his labor. This also I have seen that it [is] from the hand of God. 25 For who eats and who hurries out more than I? 26 For to a man who [is] good before Him, He has given wisdom, and knowledge, and joy ”
