1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth. 2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his …

Ecclesiastes 6
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: 2 A man to whom God (Elohim) hath given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God (Elohim) giveth him not power to eat thereof, but …
Ecclesiastes 5
1 Keep your foot when you goest to the house of God (Elohim), and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they consider not that they do evil. 2 Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter any thing before God (Elohim); …
Ecclesiastes 4
1 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun; and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. 2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more …

Ecclesiastes 12
1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near, when you shalt say, “I have no pleasure in them”: 2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain; …
Ecclesiastes 11
1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for you shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight, for you knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if the tree fall …
Ecclesiastes 10
1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour; so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor. 2 A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left. 3 Yea also, when he that is a fool …
Ecclesiastes 1
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of Dawid, king in Jerusalem (Yerushalayim). 2 “Vanity of vanities!” saith the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!” 3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? 4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth …
