King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. For[H3588] [H853] all[H3605] this[H2088] I considered[H5414] in[H413] my heart[H3820] even to declare[H952] [H853] all[H3605] this,[H2088] that[H834] the righteous,[H6662] and the wise,[H2450] and their works,[H5652] are in the hand[H3027] of God:[H430] no[H369] man[H120] knoweth[H3045] either[H1571] love[H160] or[H1571] hatred[H8135] by all[H3605] that is before[H6440] them.

2. All[H3605] things come alike[H834] to all:[H3605] 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] and to him that sacrificeth[H834] [H2076] not:[H369] as is the good,[H2896] so is the sinner;[H2398] and he that sweareth,[H7650] as[H834] he that feareth[H3372] an oath.[H7621]

3. This[H2088] is an evil[H7451] among all[H3605] things that[H834] are done[H6213] under[H8478] the sun,[H8121] that[H3588] there is one[H259] event[H4745] unto all:[H3605] yea, also[H1571] the heart[H3820] of the sons[H1121] of men[H120] is full[H4390] of evil,[H7451] and madness[H1947] is in their heart[H3824] while they live,[H2416] and after[H310] that they go to[H413] the dead.[H4191]

4. For[H3588] to him[H4310] that[H834] is joined[H2266] to[H413] all[H3605] the living[H2416] there is[H3426] hope:[H986] for[H3588] a living[H2416] dog[H3611] is better[H2896] than[H4480] a dead[H4191] lion.[H738]

5. For[H3588] the living[H2416] know[H3045] that they shall die:[H7945] [H4191] but the dead[H4191] know[H3045] not[H369] any thing,[H3972] neither[H369] have they any more[H5750] a reward;[H7939] for[H3588] the memory[H2143] of them is forgotten.[H7911]

6. Also[H1571] their love,[H160] and[H1571] their hatred,[H8135] and[H1571] their envy,[H7068] is now[H3528] perished;[H6] neither[H369] have they any more[H5750] a portion[H2506] forever[H5769] in any[H3605] thing that[H834] is done[H6213] under[H8478] the sun.[H8121]

7. Go[H1980] thy way, eat[H398] thy bread[H3899] with joy,[H8057] and drink[H8354] thy wine[H3196] with a merry[H2896] heart;[H3820] for[H3588] God[H430] now[H3528] accepteth[H7521] [H853] thy works.[H4639]

8. Let thy garments[H899] be[H1961] always[H3605] [H6256] white;[H3836] and let thy head[H7218] lack[H2637] no[H408] ointment.[H8081]

9. Live joyfully[H2416] [H7200] with[H5973] the wife[H802] whom[H834] thou lovest[H157] all[H3605] the days[H3117] of the life[H2416] of thy vanity,[H1892] which[H834] he hath given[H5414] thee under[H8478] the sun,[H8121] all[H3605] the days[H3117] of thy vanity:[H1892] for[H3588] that[H1931] is thy portion[H2506] in this life,[H2416] and in thy labor[H5999] which[H834] thou[H859] takest[H6001] under[H8478] the sun.[H8121]

10. Whatsoever[H3605] [H834] thy hand[H3027] findeth[H4672] to do,[H6213] do[H6213] it with thy might;[H3581] for[H3588] there is no[H369] work,[H4639] nor device,[H2808] nor knowledge,[H1847] nor wisdom,[H2451] in the grave,[H7585] whither[H834] [H8033] thou[H859] goest.[H1980]

11. I returned,[H7725] and saw[H7200] under[H8478] the sun,[H8121] that[H3588] the race[H4793] is not[H3808] to the swift,[H7031] nor[H3808] the battle[H4421] to the strong,[H1368] neither[H3808] yet[H1571] bread[H3899] to the wise,[H2450] nor[H3808] yet[H1571] riches[H6239] to men of understanding,[H995] nor[H3808] yet[H1571] favor[H2580] to men of skill;[H3045] but[H3588] time[H6256] and chance[H6294] happeneth[H7136] to[H853] them all.[H3605]

12. For[H3588] man[H120] also[H1571] knoweth[H3045] not[H3808] [H853] his time:[H6256] as the fishes[H1709] that are taken[H7945] [H270] in an evil[H7451] net,[H4686] and as the birds[H6833] that are caught[H270] in the snare;[H6341] so are the sons[H1121] of men[H120] snared[H3369] in an evil[H7451] time,[H6256] when it falleth[H7945] [H5307] suddenly[H6597] upon[H5921] them.

13. This[H2090] wisdom[H2451] have I seen[H7200] also[H1571] under[H8478] the sun,[H8121] and it[H1931] seemed great[H1419] unto[H413] me:

14. There was a little[H6996] city,[H5892] and few[H4592] men[H376] within it; and there came[H935] a great[H1419] king[H4428] against[H413] it, and besieged[H5437] it, and built[H1129] great[H1419] bulwarks[H4685] against[H5921] it:

15. Now there was found[H4672] in it a poor[H4542] wise[H2450] man,[H376] and he[H1931] by his wisdom[H2451] delivered[H4422] [H853] the city;[H5892] yet no[H3808] man[H120] remembered[H2142] [H853] that same[H1931] poor[H4542] man.[H376]

16. Then said[H559] I,[H589] Wisdom[H2451] is better[H2896] than strength:[H4480] [H1369] nevertheless the poor man's[H4542] wisdom[H2451] is despised,[H959] and his words[H1697] are not[H369] heard.[H8085]

17. The words[H1697] of wise[H2450] men are heard[H8085] in quiet[H5183] more than the cry[H4480] [H2201] of him that ruleth[H4910] among fools.[H3684]

18. Wisdom[H2451] is better[H2896] than weapons[H4480] [H3627] of war:[H7128] but one[H259] sinner[H2398] destroyeth[H6] much[H7235] good.[H2896]
