All things<S>1697</S> <i>are</i> full of labour<S>3023</S>; man<S>376</S> cannot<S>3201</S> utter<S>1696</S> <i>it</i>: the eye<S>5869</S> is not satisfied<S>7646</S> with seeing<S>7200</S>, nor the ear<S>241</S> filled<S>4390</S> with hearing<S>8085</S>.

I spoke<S>1696</S> to my own heart<S>3820</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Lo, I have come to great estate<S>1431</S>, and have gained<S>3254</S> more wisdom<S>2451</S> than all <i>they</i> that have been before<S>6440</S> me in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and my heart<S>3820</S> had great<S>7235</S> experience<S>7200</S> of wisdom<S>2451</S> and knowledge<S>1847</S>. <n>had…: Heb. had seen much</n>

And I gave<S>5414</S> my heart<S>3820</S> to know<S>3045</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>, and to know<S>3045</S> madness<S>1947</S> and folly<S>5531</S>: I perceived<S>3045</S> that this<S>1571</S> also is vexation<S>7475</S> of spirit<S>7307</S>.

I said<S>559</S> of laughter<S>7814</S>, <i>It is </i>mad<S>1984</S>: and of mirth<S>8057</S>, What<S>2090</S> doeth<S>6213</S> it?


text:
I sought<S>8446</S> in my heart<S>3820</S> to give<S>4900</S> myself<S>1320</S> to wine<S>3196</S>, yet acquainting<S>5090</S> my heart<S>3820</S> with wisdom<S>2451</S>; and to lay hold<S>270</S> on folly<S>5531</S>, till I might see<S>7200</S> what <i>was</i> that good<S>2896</S> for the sons<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S>, which they should do<S>6213</S> under the heaven<S>8064</S> all<S>4557</S> the days<S>3117</S> of their life<S>2416</S>. <n>to give…: Heb. to draw my flesh with wine all…: Heb. the number of the days of their life</n>


text:
I made for myself great<S>1431</S> works<S>4639</S>; I built<S>1129</S> houses<S>1004</S>; I planted<S>5193</S> vineyards<S>3754</S>:


text:
I made<S>6213</S> me gardens<S>1593</S> and orchards<S>6508</S>, and I planted<S>5193</S> trees<S>6086</S> in them of all <i>kind of </i>fruits<S>6529</S>:


text:
I made<S>6213</S> me pools<S>1295</S> of water<S>4325</S>, to water<S>8248</S> with them the wood<S>3293</S> that bringeth forth<S>6779</S> trees<S>6086</S>:


text:
I procured<S>7069</S> <i>me </i>male<S>5650</S> and female servants<S>8198</S>, and had servants born<S>1121</S> in my house<S>1004</S>; also I had great<S>7235</S> possessions<S>4735</S> of herds<S>1241</S> and flocks<S>6629</S> above all that were in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> before<S>6440</S> me: <n>servants born…: Heb. sons of my house</n>


text:
I gathered<S>3664</S> me also silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S>, and the special treasure<S>5459</S> of kings<S>4428</S> and of the provinces<S>4082</S>: I procured<S>6213</S> me male<S>7891</S> and female singers<S>7891</S>, and the delights<S>8588</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S>, <i>as</i> musical instruments<S>7705</S> <S>7705</S>, and of all sorts. <n>musical…: Heb. musical instrument and instruments</n>


text:
So I was great<S>1431</S>, and increased<S>3254</S> more than all that were before<S>6440</S> me in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: also my wisdom<S>2451</S> remained<S>5975</S> with me.


text:
And whatever my eyes<S>5869</S> desired<S>7592</S> I kept<S>680</S> not from them, I withheld<S>4513</S> not my heart<S>3820</S> from any joy<S>8057</S>; for my heart<S>3820</S> rejoiced<S>8056</S> in all my labour<S>5999</S>: and this was my portion<S>2506</S> of all my labour<S>5999</S>.


text:
Then I looked<S>6437</S> on all the works<S>4639</S> that my hands<S>3027</S> had wrought<S>6213</S>, and on the labour<S>5999</S> that I had laboured<S>5998</S> to do<S>6213</S>: and, behold, all <i>was </i>vanity<S>1892</S> and vexation<S>7469</S> of spirit<S>7307</S>, and <i>there was</i> no profit<S>3504</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>.


text:
And I turned<S>6437</S> myself to behold<S>7200</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>, and madness<S>1947</S>, and folly<S>5531</S>: for what <i>can</i> the man<S>120</S> <i>do</i> that cometh<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> the king<S>4428</S>? <i>even</i> that which hath been already<S>3528</S> done<S>6213</S>. <n>even…: or, in those things which have been already done</n>


text:
Then I saw<S>7200</S> that<S>3426</S> wisdom<S>2451</S> excelleth<S>3504</S> folly<S>5531</S>, as far as light<S>216</S> excelleth<S>3504</S> darkness<S>2822</S>. <n>that…: Heb. that there is an excellency in wisdom more than in folly, etc</n>


text:
The wise man’s<S>2450</S> eyes<S>5869</S> <i>are</i> in his head<S>7218</S>; but the fool<S>3684</S> walketh<S>1980</S> in darkness<S>2822</S>: and I myself perceived<S>3045</S> also that one<S>259</S> event<S>4745</S> happeneth<S>7136</S> to them all.


text:
Then<S>227</S> said<S>559</S> I in my heart<S>3820</S>, As it happeneth<S>4745</S> to the fool<S>3684</S>, so it happeneth<S>7136</S> even to me<S>1571</S>; and why was I then more<S>3148</S> wise<S>2449</S>? Then I said<S>1696</S> in my heart<S>3820</S>, that this also <i>is </i>vanity<S>1892</S>. <n>happeneth even…: Heb. happeneth to me, even to me</n>


text:
For <i>there is</i> no remembrance<S>2146</S> of the wise<S>2450</S> more than<S>5973</S> of the fool<S>3684</S> for ever<S>5769</S>; seeing that which now<S>3528</S> <i>is</i> in the days<S>3117</S> to come<S>935</S> shall all be forgotten<S>7911</S>. And how dieth<S>4191</S> the wise<S>2450</S> <i>man</i>? as the fool<S>3684</S>.


text:
Therefore I hated<S>8130</S> life<S>2416</S>; because the work<S>4639</S> that is wrought<S>6213</S> under the sun<S>8121</S> <i>is </i>grievous<S>7451</S> to me: for all <i>is </i>vanity<S>1892</S> and vexation<S>7469</S> of spirit<S>7307</S>.


text:
Yea, I hated<S>8130</S> all my labour<S>5999</S> which I had taken<S>6001</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>: because I should leave<S>3240</S> it to the man<S>120</S> that shall be after<S>310</S> me. <n>taken: Heb. laboured</n>


text:
And who knoweth<S>3045</S> whether he shall be a wise<S>2450</S> <i>man</i> or a fool<S>5530</S>? yet shall he have rule<S>7980</S> over all my labour<S>5999</S> in which I have laboured<S>5998</S>, and in which I have showed myself wise<S>2449</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>. This <i>is</i> also vanity<S>1892</S>.


text:
Therefore I went about<S>5437</S> to cause<S>2976</S> my heart<S>3820</S> to despair<S>2976</S> of all the labour<S>5999</S> which I took<S>5998</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>.


text:
For there is<S>3426</S> a man<S>120</S> whose labour<S>5999</S> <i>is</i> in wisdom<S>2451</S>, and in knowledge<S>1847</S>, and in equity<S>3788</S>; yet to a man<S>120</S> that hath not laboured<S>5998</S> in it shall he leave<S>5414</S> it <i>for</i> his portion<S>2506</S>. This also <i>is </i>vanity<S>1892</S> and a great<S>7227</S> evil<S>7451</S>. <n>leave: Heb. give</n>


text:
For what hath<S>1933</S> man<S>120</S> of all his labour<S>5999</S>, and of the vexation<S>7475</S> of his heart<S>3820</S>, in which<S>1931</S> he hath laboured<S>6001</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>?


text:
For all his days<S>3117</S> <i>are </i>sorrows<S>4341</S>, and his labour<S>6045</S> grief<S>3708</S>; yea, his heart<S>3820</S> taketh not rest<S>7901</S> in the night<S>3915</S>. This is also vanity<S>1892</S>.


text:
<i>There is</i> nothing better<S>2896</S> for a man<S>120</S>, <i>than</i> that he should eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and <i>that</i> he should make his soul<S>5315</S> enjoy<S>7200</S> good<S>2896</S> in his labour<S>5999</S>. This<S>2090</S> also I saw<S>7200</S>, that it <i>was</i> from the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>430</S>. <n>should make…: or, delight his senses</n>


text:
For <i>God </i>giveth<S>5414</S> to a man<S>120</S> who <i>is </i>good<S>2896</S> in his sight<S>6440</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>, and knowledge<S>1847</S>, and joy<S>8057</S>: but to the sinner<S>2398</S> he giveth<S>5414</S> toil<S>6045</S>, to gather<S>622</S> and to store up<S>3664</S> <i>wealth</i>, that he may give<S>5414</S> to <i>him that is </i>good<S>2896</S> before<S>6440</S> God<S>430</S>. This also <i>is </i>vanity<S>1892</S> and vexation<S>7469</S> of spirit<S>7307</S>. <n>in his…: Heb. before him</n>


text:
To every <i>thing there is</i> a season<S>2165</S>, and a time<S>6256</S> to every purpose<S>2656</S> under the heaven<S>8064</S>:


text:
A time<S>6256</S> to be born<S>3205</S>, and a time<S>6256</S> to die<S>4191</S>; a time<S>6256</S> to plant<S>5193</S>, and a time<S>6256</S> to pluck up<S>6131</S> <i>that which is </i>planted<S>5193</S>; <n>to be…: Heb. to bear</n>

A time<S>6256</S> to love<S>157</S>, and a time<S>6256</S> to hate<S>8130</S>; a time<S>6256</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and a time<S>6256</S> of peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
What profit<S>3504</S> hath he that worketh<S>6213</S> in that in which<S>834</S> he laboureth<S>6001</S>?


text:
I have seen<S>7200</S> the labour<S>6045</S>, which God<S>430</S> hath given<S>5414</S> to the sons<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S> to be exercised<S>6031</S> in it.


text:
He hath made<S>6213</S> every <i>thing </i>beautiful<S>3303</S> in its time<S>6256</S>: also he hath set<S>5414</S> the world<S>5769</S> in their heart<S>3820</S>, so that<S>1097</S> no man<S>120</S> can find out<S>4672</S> the work<S>4639</S> that God<S>430</S> maketh<S>6213</S> from the beginning<S>7218</S> to the end<S>5490</S>.


text:
I know<S>3045</S> that <i>there is</i> no good<S>2896</S> in them, but for <i>a man</i> to rejoice<S>8055</S>, and to do<S>6213</S> good<S>2896</S> in his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
And also that every man<S>120</S> should eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and enjoy<S>7200</S> the good<S>2896</S> of all his labour<S>5999</S>, it <i>is</i> the gift<S>4991</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
I know<S>3045</S> that, whatever God<S>430</S> doeth<S>6213</S>, it shall be for ever<S>5769</S>: nothing<S>369</S> can be added<S>3254</S> to it, nor any thing taken<S>1639</S> from it: and God<S>430</S> doeth<S>6213</S> <i>it</i>, that <i>men</i> should fear<S>3372</S> before<S>6440</S> him.


text:
That which hath been is now<S>3528</S>; and that which is to be hath already<S>3528</S> been; and God<S>430</S> requireth<S>1245</S> that which is past<S>7291</S>. <n>that which is past: Heb. that which is driven away</n>


text:
And moreover I saw<S>7200</S> under the sun<S>8121</S> the place<S>4725</S> of judgment<S>4941</S>, <i>that </i>wickedness<S>7562</S> <i>was</i> there; and the place<S>4725</S> of righteousness<S>6664</S>, <i>that </i>iniquity<S>7562</S> <i>was</i> there.


text:
I said<S>559</S> in my heart<S>3820</S>, God<S>430</S> shall judge<S>8199</S> the righteous<S>6662</S> and the wicked<S>7563</S>: for <i>there is</i> a time<S>6256</S> there for every purpose<S>2656</S> and for every work<S>4639</S>.

I said<S>559</S> in my heart<S>3820</S> concerning the state<S>1700</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S>, that God<S>430</S> might surely test<S>1305</S> them, and that they might see<S>7200</S> that they<S>1992</S> themselves are beasts<S>929</S>. <n>that God…: or, that they might clear God, and see, etc</n>


text:
For that which befalleth<S>4745</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S> befalleth<S>4745</S> beasts<S>929</S>; even one thing<S>259</S> befalleth<S>4745</S> them: as the one dieth<S>4194</S>, so dieth<S>4194</S> the other<S>2088</S>; yea, they have all one<S>259</S> breath<S>7307</S>; so that a man<S>120</S> hath no preeminence<S>4195</S> above a beast<S>929</S>: for all <i>is </i>vanity<S>1892</S>.


text:
All go<S>1980</S> to one<S>259</S> place<S>4725</S>; all are of the dust<S>6083</S>, and all turn<S>7725</S> to dust<S>6083</S> again<S>7725</S>.

Who knoweth<S>3045</S> the spirit<S>7307</S> of man<S>1121</S> <S>120</S> that goeth<S>5927</S> upward<S>4605</S>, and the spirit<S>7307</S> of the beast<S>929</S> that goeth<S>3381</S> downward<S>4295</S> to the earth<S>776</S>? <n>of man: Heb. of the sons of man goeth upward: Heb. is ascending, etc</n>


text:
Therefore I perceive<S>7200</S> that <i>there is</i> nothing better<S>2896</S>, than that a man<S>120</S> should rejoice<S>8055</S> in his own works<S>4639</S>; for that <i>is</i> his portion<S>2506</S>: for who shall bring<S>935</S> him to see<S>7200</S> what shall be after<S>310</S> him?

So I returned<S>7725</S>, and considered<S>7200</S> all the oppressions<S>6217</S> that are done<S>6213</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>: and behold the tears<S>1832</S> of <i>such as were </i>oppressed<S>6231</S>, and they had no comforter<S>5162</S>; and on the side<S>3027</S> of their oppressors<S>6231</S> <i>there was </i>power<S>3581</S>; but they had no comforter<S>5162</S>. <n>side: Heb. hand</n>

Yea, better<S>2896</S> <i>is he</i> than both<S>8147</S> they, who hath not yet<S>5728</S> been, who hath not seen<S>7200</S> the evil<S>7451</S> work<S>4639</S> that is done<S>6213</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>.

Again, I considered<S>7200</S> all labour<S>5999</S>, and every right<S>3788</S> work<S>4639</S>, that for this a man<S>376</S> is envied<S>7068</S> by his neighbour<S>7453</S>.

Two<S>8147</S> <i>are </i> better<S>2896</S> than one<S>259</S>; because they have<S>3426</S> a good<S>2896</S> reward<S>7939</S> for their labour<S>5999</S>.

For if they fall<S>5307</S>, the one<S>259</S> will lift up<S>6965</S> his companion<S>2270</S>: but woe<S>337</S> to him <i>that is </i>alone<S>259</S> when he falleth<S>5307</S>; for <i>he hath</i> not another<S>8145</S> to help him to rise<S>6965</S>.

text:
And if one<S>259</S> prevaileth<S>8630</S> against him, two<S>8147</S> shall withstand<S>5975</S> him; and a threefold<S>8027</S> cord<S>2339</S> is not quickly<S>4120</S> broken<S>5423</S>.

For a dream<S>2472</S> cometh<S>935</S> through the multitude<S>7230</S> of business<S>6045</S>; and a fool’s<S>3684</S> voice<S>6963</S> <i>is known</i> by a multitude<S>7230</S> of words<S>1697</S>.

Say<S>559</S> not thou, What is <i>the cause</i> that the former<S>7223</S> days<S>3117</S> were better<S>2896</S> than these? for thou dost not enquire<S>7592</S> wisely<S>2451</S> concerning this. <n>wisely: Heb. out of wisdom</n>

Wisdom<S>2451</S> <i>is </i> good<S>2896</S> with an inheritance<S>5159</S>: and <i>by it there is </i>profit<S>3148</S> to them that see<S>7200</S> the sun<S>8121</S>. <n>good…: or, as good as an inheritance, yea, better too</n>

All <i>things</i> have I seen<S>7200</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of my vanity<S>1892</S>: there is<S>3426</S> a just<S>6662</S> <i>man</i> that perisheth<S>6</S> in his righteousness<S>6664</S>, and there is a wicked<S>7563</S> <i>man</i> that prolongeth<S>748</S> <i>his life</i> in his wickedness<S>7451</S>.


text:
Be not righteous<S>6662</S> over much<S>7235</S>; neither make thyself over<S>3148</S> wise<S>2449</S>: why shouldest thou destroy<S>8074</S> thyself? <n>destroy…: Heb. be desolate?</n>

<i>It is </i> good<S>2896</S> that thou shouldest take hold<S>270</S> of this; yea, also from this<S>2088</S> withdraw<S>3240</S> not thy hand<S>3027</S>: for he that feareth<S>3373</S> God<S>430</S> shall escape<S>3318</S> from them all.

All this<S>2090</S> have I proved<S>5254</S> by wisdom<S>2451</S>: I said<S>559</S>, I will be wise<S>2449</S>; but it <i>was </i>far<S>7350</S> from me.

Who <i>is</i> as the wise<S>2450</S> <i>man</i>? and who knoweth<S>3045</S> the interpretation<S>6592</S> of a thing<S>1697</S>? a man’s<S>120</S> wisdom<S>2451</S> maketh his face<S>6440</S> to shine<S>215</S>, and the boldness<S>5797</S> of his face<S>6440</S> shall be changed<S>8132</S>. <n>the boldness: Heb. the strength</n>

I <i>counsel thee</i> to keep<S>8104</S> the king’s<S>4428</S> commandment<S>6310</S>, and <i>that</i> in regard<S>1700</S> of the oath<S>7621</S> of God<S>430</S>.

text:
Where the word<S>1697</S> of a king<S>4428</S> <i>is, there is </i>power<S>7983</S>: and who may say<S>559</S> to him, What doest<S>6213</S> thou?

He who keepeth<S>8104</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> shall feel<S>3045</S> no evil<S>7451</S> thing<S>1697</S>: and a wise man’s<S>2450</S> heart<S>3820</S> discerneth<S>3045</S> both time<S>6256</S> and judgment<S>4941</S>. <n>shall…: Heb. shall know</n>


text:
Because to every purpose<S>2656</S> there is<S>3426</S> time<S>6256</S> and judgment<S>4941</S>, therefore the misery<S>7451</S> of man<S>120</S> <i>is </i>great<S>7227</S> upon him.


text:
For he knoweth<S>3045</S> not that which shall be: for who can tell<S>5046</S> him when it shall be? <n>when…: or, how it shall be?</n>


text:
<i>There is</i> no man<S>120</S> that hath power<S>7989</S> over the spirit<S>7307</S> to retain<S>3607</S> the spirit<S>7307</S>; neither <i>hath he </i>power<S>7983</S> in the day<S>3117</S> of death<S>4194</S>: and <i>there is</i> no discharge<S>4917</S> in <i>that </i>war<S>4421</S>; neither shall wickedness<S>7562</S> deliver<S>4422</S> those that are given<S>1167</S> to it. <n>discharge: or, casting off weapons</n>


text:
All this have I seen<S>7200</S>, and applied<S>5414</S> my heart<S>3820</S> to every work<S>4639</S> that is done<S>6213</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>: <i>there is</i> a time<S>6256</S> in which one man<S>120</S> ruleth<S>7980</S> over another to his own hurt<S>7451</S>.

text:
Because sentence<S>6599</S> against an evil<S>7451</S> work<S>4639</S> is not executed<S>6213</S> speedily<S>4120</S>, therefore the heart<S>3820</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S> is fully set<S>4390</S> in them to do<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S>.


text:
Though a sinner<S>2398</S> doeth<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> an hundred times<S>3967</S>, and his <i>days</i> are prolonged<S>748</S>, yet surely I know<S>3045</S> that it shall be well<S>2896</S> with them that fear<S>3373</S> God<S>430</S>, who fear<S>3372</S> before<S>6440</S> him:

But it shall not be well<S>2896</S> with the wicked<S>7563</S>, neither shall he prolong<S>748</S> <i>his </i>days<S>3117</S>, <i>which are</i> as a shadow<S>6738</S>; because he feareth<S>3373</S> not before<S>6440</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
There is<S>3426</S> a vanity<S>1892</S> which is done<S>6213</S> upon the earth<S>776</S>; that there are just<S>6662</S> <i>men</i>, to whom it happeneth<S>5060</S> according to the work<S>4639</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>; again, there are<S>3426</S> wicked<S>7563</S> <i>men</i>, to whom it happeneth<S>5060</S> according to the work<S>4639</S> of the righteous<S>6662</S>: I said<S>559</S> that this also<S>1571</S> <i>is </i>vanity<S>1892</S>.


text:
Then I commended<S>7623</S> mirth<S>8057</S>, because a man<S>120</S> hath no better thing<S>2896</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>, than to eat<S>398</S>, and to drink<S>8354</S>, and to be merry<S>8055</S>: for that shall abide<S>3867</S> with him of his labour<S>5999</S> the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>, which God<S>430</S> giveth<S>5414</S> him under the sun<S>8121</S>.

When I applied<S>5414</S> my heart<S>3820</S> to know<S>3045</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>, and to see<S>7200</S> the business<S>6045</S> that is done<S>6213</S> upon the earth<S>776</S>: (for also <i>there is that</i> neither day<S>3117</S> nor night<S>3915</S> seeth<S>7200</S> sleep<S>8142</S> with his eyes<S>5869</S>:)


text:
Then I beheld<S>7200</S> all the work<S>4639</S> of God<S>430</S>, that a man<S>120</S> cannot<S>3201</S> find out<S>4672</S> the work<S>4639</S> that is done<S>6213</S> under the sun<S>8121</S>: because<S>834</S> though<S>7945</S> a man<S>120</S> may labour<S>5998</S> to seek <i>it </i>out<S>1245</S>, yet he shall not find<S>4672</S> <i>it</i>; yea further; though a wise<S>2450</S> <i>man </i>thinketh<S>559</S> to know<S>3045</S> <i>it</i>, yet shall he not be able<S>3201</S> to find<S>4672</S> <i>it</i>.

For all this I considered<S>5414</S> in my heart<S>3820</S> even to declare<S>952</S> all this, that the righteous<S>6662</S>, and the wise<S>2450</S>, and their works<S>5652</S>, <i>are</i> in the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>430</S>: no man<S>120</S> knoweth<S>3045</S> either<S>1571</S> love<S>160</S> or hatred<S>8135</S> <i>by</i> all <i>that is </i>before<S>6440</S> them. <n>I considered…: Heb.

This<S>2090</S> wisdom<S>2451</S> have I seen<S>7200</S> also under the sun<S>8121</S>, and it <i>seemed</i> to me great<S>1419</S>:

<i>There was</i> a little<S>6996</S> city<S>5892</S>, and few<S>4592</S> men<S>582</S> within it; and there came<S>935</S> a great<S>1419</S> king<S>4428</S> against it, and besieged<S>5437</S> it, and built<S>1129</S> great<S>1419</S> bulwarks<S>4685</S> against it:

I have even from the beginning<S>227</S> declared<S>5046</S> <i>it</i> to thee; before it came to pass<S>935</S> I showed<S>8085</S> <i>it</i> thee: lest thou shouldest say<S>559</S>, My idol<S>6090</S> hath done<S>6213</S> them, and my graven image<S>6459</S>, and my molten image<S>5262</S>, hath commanded<S>6680</S> them.

Thy seed<S>2233</S> also had been as the sand<S>2344</S>, and the offspring<S>6631</S> of thy body<S>4578</S> like its gravel<S>4579</S>; his name<S>8034</S> should not have been cut off<S>3772</S> nor destroyed<S>8045</S> from before<S>6440</S> me.

And they thirsted<S>6770</S> not <i>when</i> he led<S>3212</S> them through the deserts<S>2723</S>: he caused the waters<S>4325</S> to flow<S>5140</S> out of the rock<S>6697</S> for them: he split<S>1234</S> the rock<S>6697</S> also, and the waters<S>4325</S> gushed out<S>2100</S>.

Listen<S>8085</S>, to me O isles<S>339</S>; and hearken<S>7181</S>, ye people<S>3816</S>, from far<S>7350</S>; The LORD<S>3068</S> hath called<S>7121</S> me from the womb<S>990</S>; from the body<S>4578</S> of my mother<S>517</S> hath he made mention<S>2142</S> of my name<S>8034</S>.

And he hath made<S>7760</S> my mouth<S>6310</S> like a sharp<S>2299</S> sword<S>2719</S>; in the shadow<S>6738</S> of his hand<S>3027</S> hath he hid<S>2244</S> me, and made<S>7760</S> me a polished<S>1305</S> shaft<S>2671</S>; in his quiver<S>827</S> hath he hid<S>5641</S> me;

Awake<S>5782</S>, awake<S>5782</S>, stand up<S>6965</S>, O Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which hast drunk<S>8354</S> at the hand<S>3027</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> the cup<S>3563</S> of his fury<S>2534</S>; thou hast drank<S>8354</S> the dregs<S>6907</S> of the cup<S>3563</S> of trembling<S>8653</S>, <i>and</i> wrung <i>them </i>out<S>4680</S>.

Thy sons<S>1121</S> have fainted<S>5968</S>, they lie<S>7901</S> at the head<S>7218</S> of all the streets<S>2351</S>, as a wild bull<S>8377</S> in a net<S>4364</S>: they are full<S>4392</S> of the fury<S>2534</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, the rebuke<S>1606</S> of thy God<S>430</S>.

So shall he sprinkle<S>5137</S> many<S>7227</S> nations<S>1471</S>; the kings<S>4428</S> shall shut<S>7092</S> their mouths<S>6310</S> at him: for <i>that</i> which had not been told<S>5608</S> them shall they see<S>7200</S>; and <i>that</i> which they had not heard<S>8085</S> shall they consider<S>995</S>.

For he shall grow up<S>5927</S> before<S>6440</S> him as a tender plant<S>3126</S>, and as a root<S>8328</S> out of a dry<S>6723</S> ground<S>776</S>: he hath no form<S>8389</S> nor comeliness<S>1926</S>; and when we shall see<S>7200</S> him, <i>there is</i> no beauty<S>4758</S> that we should desire<S>2530</S> him.


text:
He is despised<S>959</S> and rejected<S>2310</S> by men<S>376</S>; a man<S>376</S> of sorrows<S>4341</S>, and acquainted<S>3045</S> with grief<S>2483</S>: and we hid as it were<S>4564</S> <i>our </i>faces<S>6440</S> from him; he was despised<S>959</S>, and we esteemed<S>2803</S> him not. <n>we hid…: or, he hid as it were his face from us: Heb. as an hiding of faces from him, or, from us</n>


text:
Surely<S>403</S> he hath borne<S>5375</S> our griefs<S>2483</S>, and carried<S>5445</S> our sorrows<S>4341</S>: yet we did esteem<S>2803</S> him stricken<S>5060</S>, smitten<S>5221</S> by God<S>430</S>, and afflicted<S>6031</S>.

But he <i>was </i>wounded<S>2490</S> for our transgressions<S>6588</S>, <i>he was </i>bruised<S>1792</S> for our iniquities<S>5771</S>: the chastisement<S>4148</S> for our peace<S>7965</S> <i>was</i> upon him; and with his stripes<S>2250</S> we are healed<S>7495</S>. <n>wounded: or, tormented stripes: Heb. bruise</n>

All we like sheep<S>6629</S> have gone astray<S>8582</S>; we have turned<S>6437</S> every one<S>376</S> to his own way<S>1870</S>; and the LORD<S>3068</S> hath laid<S>6293</S> on him the iniquity<S>5771</S> of us all. <n>laid…: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him</n>


text:
He was oppressed<S>5065</S>, and he was afflicted<S>6031</S>, yet he opened<S>6605</S> not his mouth<S>6310</S>: he is brought<S>2986</S> as a lamb<S>7716</S> to the slaughter<S>2874</S>, and as a sheep<S>7353</S> before<S>6440</S> her shearers<S>1494</S> is dumb<S>481</S>, so he opened<S>6605</S> not his mouth<S>6310</S>.

He was taken<S>3947</S> from prison<S>6115</S> and from judgment<S>4941</S>: and who shall declare<S>7878</S> his generation<S>1755</S>? for he was cut off<S>1504</S> from the land<S>776</S> of the living<S>2416</S>: for the transgression<S>6588</S> of my people<S>5971</S> was he stricken<S>5061</S>. <n>from prison…: or, away by distress and judgment: but, etc was he…: Heb. was the stroke upon him</n>

And he made<S>5414</S> his grave<S>6913</S> with the wicked<S>7563</S>, and with the rich<S>6223</S> in his death<S>4194</S>; because he had done<S>6213</S> no violence<S>2555</S>, neither <i>was any </i>deceit<S>4820</S> in his mouth<S>6310</S>. <n>death: Heb. deaths</n>

Yet it pleased<S>2654</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> to bruise<S>1792</S> him; he hath put <i>him</i> to grief<S>2470</S>: when thou shalt make<S>7760</S> his soul<S>5315</S> an offering for sin<S>817</S>, he shall see<S>7200</S> <i>his </i>seed<S>2233</S>, he shall prolong<S>748</S> <i>his </i>days<S>3117</S>, and the pleasure<S>2656</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> shall prosper<S>6743</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>. <n>thou…: or, his soul shall make an offering</n>

He shall see<S>7200</S> of the travail<S>5999</S> of his soul<S>5315</S>, <i>and</i> shall be satisfied<S>7646</S>: by his knowledge<S>1847</S> shall my righteous<S>6662</S> servant<S>5650</S> justify<S>6663</S> many<S>7227</S>; for he shall bear<S>5445</S> their iniquities<S>5771</S>.

Therefore will I divide<S>2505</S> him <i>a portion</i> with the great<S>7227</S>, and he shall divide<S>2505</S> the spoil<S>7998</S> with the strong<S>6099</S>; because he hath poured out<S>6168</S> his soul<S>5315</S> to death<S>4194</S>: and he was numbered<S>4487</S> with the transgressors<S>6586</S>; and he bore<S>5375</S> the sin<S>2399</S> of many<S>7227</S>, and made intercession<S>6293</S> for the transgressors<S>6586</S>.

Enlarge<S>7337</S> the place<S>4725</S> of thy tent<S>168</S>, and let them extend<S>5186</S> the curtains<S>3407</S> of thy habitations<S>4908</S>: spare<S>2820</S> not, lengthen<S>748</S> thy cords<S>4340</S>, and strengthen<S>2388</S> thy stakes<S>3489</S>;

For thou shalt break forth<S>6555</S> on the right hand<S>3225</S> and on the left<S>8040</S>; and thy seed<S>2233</S> shall inherit<S>3423</S> the Gentiles<S>1471</S>, and make the desolate<S>8074</S> cities<S>5892</S> to be inhabited<S>3427</S>.

Fear<S>3372</S> not; for thou shalt not be ashamed<S>954</S>: neither be thou confounded<S>3637</S>; for thou shalt not be put to shame<S>2659</S>: for thou shalt forget<S>7911</S> the shame<S>1322</S> of thy youth<S>5934</S>, and shalt not remember<S>2142</S> the reproach<S>2781</S> of thy widowhood<S>491</S> any more.

For the LORD<S>3068</S> hath called<S>7121</S> thee as a woman<S>802</S> forsaken<S>5800</S> and grieved<S>6087</S> in spirit<S>7307</S>, and a wife<S>802</S> of youth<S>5271</S>, when thou wast refused<S>3988</S>, saith<S>559</S> thy God<S>430</S>.

For a small<S>6996</S> moment<S>7281</S> have I forsaken<S>5800</S> thee; but with great<S>1419</S> mercies<S>7356</S> will I gather<S>6908</S> thee.

In a little<S>8241</S> wrath<S>7110</S> I hid<S>5641</S> my face<S>6440</S> from thee for a moment<S>7281</S>; but with everlasting<S>5769</S> kindness<S>2617</S> will I have mercy<S>7355</S> on thee, saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> thy Redeemer<S>1350</S>.

For this <i>is as</i> the waters<S>4325</S> of Noah<S>5146</S> to me: for <i>as</i> I have sworn<S>7650</S> that the waters<S>4325</S> of Noah<S>5146</S> shall no more overflow<S>5674</S> the earth<S>776</S>; so have I sworn<S>7650</S> that I will not be angry<S>7107</S> with thee, nor rebuke<S>1605</S> thee.

O thou afflicted<S>6041</S>, tossed with tempest<S>5590</S>, <i>and</i> not comforted<S>5162</S>, behold, I will lay<S>7257</S> thy stones<S>68</S> with fair colours<S>6320</S>, and lay thy foundations<S>3245</S> with sapphires<S>5601</S>.

In righteousness<S>6666</S> shalt thou be established<S>3559</S>: thou shalt be far<S>7368</S> from oppression<S>6233</S>; for thou shalt not fear<S>3372</S>: and from terror<S>4288</S>; for it shall not come near<S>7126</S> thee.

Behold, thou shalt call<S>7121</S> a nation<S>1471</S> <i>that</i> thou knowest<S>3045</S> not, and nations<S>1471</S> <i>that </i>knew<S>3045</S> not thee shall run<S>7323</S> to thee because of the LORD<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>, and for the Holy One<S>6918</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; for he hath glorified<S>6286</S> thee.

Seek<S>1875</S> ye the LORD<S>3068</S> while he may be found<S>4672</S>, call<S>7121</S> ye upon him while he is near<S>7138</S>:


text:
Let the wicked<S>7563</S> forsake<S>5800</S> his way<S>1870</S>, and the unrighteous<S>205</S> man<S>376</S> his thoughts<S>4284</S>: and let him return<S>7725</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, and he will have mercy<S>7355</S> upon him; and to our God<S>430</S>, for he will abundantly<S>7235</S> pardon<S>5545</S>. <n>the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquity abundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon</n>

For my thoughts<S>4284</S> <i>are</i> not your thoughts<S>4284</S>, neither <i>are</i> your ways<S>1870</S> my ways<S>1870</S>, saith<S>5002</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
For <i>as</i> the heavens<S>8064</S> are higher<S>1361</S> than the earth<S>776</S>, so are my ways<S>1870</S> higher<S>1361</S> than your ways<S>1870</S>, and my thoughts<S>4284</S> than your thoughts<S>4284</S>.


text:
For as the rain<S>1653</S> cometh down<S>3381</S>, and the snow<S>7950</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and returneth<S>7725</S> not there, but watereth<S>7301</S> the earth<S>776</S>, and maketh it bring forth<S>3205</S> and bud<S>6779</S>, that it may give<S>5414</S> seed<S>2233</S> to the sower<S>2232</S>, and bread<S>3899</S> to the eater<S>398</S>:


text:
So shall my word<S>1697</S> be that proceedeth<S>3318</S> from my mouth<S>6310</S>: it shall not return<S>7725</S> to me void<S>7387</S>, but it shall accomplish<S>6213</S> that which I please<S>2654</S>, and it shall prosper<S>6743</S> <i>in the thing</i> for which I sent<S>7971</S> it.


text:
For ye shall go out<S>3318</S> with joy<S>8057</S>, and be led forth<S>2986</S> with peace<S>7965</S>: the mountains<S>2022</S> and the hills<S>1389</S> shall break forth<S>6476</S> before<S>6440</S> you into singing<S>7440</S>, and all the trees<S>6086</S> of the field<S>7704</S> shall clap<S>4222</S> <i>their </i>hands<S>3709</S>.


text:
Instead of the thorn<S>5285</S> shall come up<S>5927</S> the fir tree<S>1265</S>, and instead of the brier<S>5636</S> shall come up<S>5927</S> the myrtle tree<S>1918</S>: and it shall be to the LORD<S>3068</S> for a name<S>8034</S>, for an everlasting<S>5769</S> sign<S>226</S> <i>that</i> shall not be cut off<S>3772</S>.

Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Keep<S>8104</S> ye judgment<S>4941</S>, and do<S>6213</S> justice<S>6666</S>: for my salvation<S>3444</S> <i>is </i>near<S>7138</S> to come<S>935</S>, and my righteousness<S>6666</S> to be revealed<S>1540</S>. <n>judgment: or, equity</n>


text:
Blessed<S>835</S> <i>is</i> the man<S>582</S> <i>that </i>doeth<S>6213</S> this, and the son<S>1121</S> of man<S>120</S> <i>that</i> layeth hold<S>2388</S> on it; that keepeth<S>8104</S> the sabbath<S>7676</S> from profaning<S>2490</S> it, and keepeth<S>8104</S> his hand<S>3027</S> from doing<S>6213</S> any evil<S>7451</S>.


text:
Neither let the son<S>1121</S> of the foreigner<S>5236</S>, that hath joined<S>3867</S> himself to the LORD<S>3068</S>, speak<S>559</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The LORD<S>3068</S> hath utterly<S>914</S> separated<S>914</S> me from his people<S>5971</S>: neither let the eunuch<S>5631</S> say<S>559</S>, Behold, I <i>am</i> a dry<S>3002</S> tree<S>6086</S>.


text:
For thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> to the eunuchs<S>5631</S> that keep<S>8104</S> my sabbaths<S>7676</S>, and choose<S>977</S> <i>the things</i> that please<S>2654</S> me, and take hold<S>2388</S> of my covenant<S>1285</S>;


text:
Even to them will I give<S>5414</S> in my house<S>1004</S> and within my walls<S>2346</S> a place<S>3027</S> and a name<S>8034</S> better<S>2896</S> than of sons<S>1121</S> and of daughters<S>1323</S>: I will give<S>5414</S> them an everlasting<S>5769</S> name<S>8034</S>, that shall not be cut off<S>3772</S>.

Also the sons<S>1121</S> of the foreigner<S>5236</S>, that join<S>3867</S> themselves to the LORD<S>3068</S>, to serve<S>8334</S> him, and to love<S>157</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, to be his servants<S>5650</S>, every one that keepeth<S>8104</S> the sabbath<S>7676</S> from profaning<S>2490</S> it, and taketh hold<S>2388</S> of my covenant<S>1285</S>;
