1:1 There was a little[06996] city[05892], and few[04592] men[0582] within it; and there came[0935][8804] a great[01419] king[04428] against it, and besieged[05437][8804] it, and built[01129][8804] great[01419] bulwarks[04685] against it:
1:2 Now there was found[04672][8804] in it a poor[04542] wise[02450] man[0376], and he by his wisdom[02451] delivered[04422][8765] the city[05892]; yet no man[0120] remembered[02142][8804] that same poor[04542] man[0376].
1:3 Then said[0559][8804] I, Wisdom[02451] is better[02896] than strength[01369]: nevertheless the poor man's[04542] wisdom[02451] is despised[0959][8803], and his words[01697] are not heard[08085][8737].
1:4 The words[01697] of wise[02450] men are heard[08085][8737] in quiet[05183] more than the cry[02201] of him that ruleth[04910][8802] among fools[03684].
1:5 Wisdom[02451] is better[02896] than weapons[03627] of war[07128]: but one[0259] sinner[02398][8802] destroyeth[06][8762] much[07235][8687] good[02896].
1:6 Dead[04194] flies[02070] cause the ointment[08081] of the apothecary[07543][8802] to send forth[05042][8686] a stinking savour[0887][8686]: so doth a little[04592] folly[05531] him that is in reputation[03368] for wisdom[02451] and honour[03519]. Dead...: Heb. Flies of death
1:7 A wise man's[02450] heart[03820] is at his right hand[03225]; but a fool's[03684] heart[03820] at his left[08040].
1:8 Yea also, when he that is a fool[05530] walketh[01980][8802] by the way[01870], his wisdom[03820] faileth[02638] him , and he saith[0559][8804] to every one that he is a fool[05530]. his...: Heb. his heart
1:9 If the spirit[07307] of the ruler[04910][8802] rise up[05927][8799] against thee, leave[03240][8686] not thy place[04725]; for yielding[04832] pacifieth[03240][8686] great[01419] offences[02399].
1:10 There is[03426] an evil[07451] which I have seen[07200][8804] under the sun[08121], as an error[07684] which proceedeth[03318][8802] from[06440] the ruler[07989]: from: Heb. from before
1:11 Folly[05529] is set[05414][8738] in great[07227] dignity[04791], and the rich[06223] sit[03427][8799] in low place[08216]. in great...: Heb. in great heights
1:12 I have seen[07200][8804] servants[05650] upon horses[05483], and princes[08269] walking[01980][8802] as servants[05650] upon the earth[0776].
1:13 He that diggeth[02658][8802] a pit[01475] shall fall[05307][8799] into it; and whoso breaketh[06555][8802] an hedge[01447], a serpent[05175] shall bite[05391][8799] him.
1:14 Whoso removeth[05265][8688] stones[068] shall be hurt[06087][8735] therewith; and he that cleaveth[01234][8802] wood[06086] shall be endangered[05533][8735] thereby.
1:15 If the iron[01270] be blunt[06949][8765], and he do not whet[07043][8773] the edge[06440], then must he put[01396][8762] to more strength[02428]: but wisdom[02451] is profitable[03504] to direct[03787][8687].
1:16 Surely the serpent[05175] will bite[05391][8799] without enchantment[03908]; and a babbler[03956][01167] is no better[03504]. a babbler: Heb. the master of the tongue
1:17 The words[01697] of a wise man's[02450] mouth[06310] are gracious[02580]; but the lips[08193] of a fool[03684] will swallow up[01104][8762] himself. gracious: Heb. grace
2:1 The beginning[08462] of the words[01697] of his mouth[06310] is foolishness[05531]: and the end[0319] of his talk[06310] is mischievous[07451] madness[01948]. his talk: Heb. his mouth
2:2 A fool[05530] also is full[07235][8686] of words[01697]: a man[0120] cannot tell[03045][8799] what shall be; and what shall be after[0310] him, who can tell[05046][8686] him? is full...: Heb. multiplieth words
2:3 The labour[05999] of the foolish[03684] wearieth[03021][8762] every one of them, because he knoweth[03045][8804] not how to go[03212][8800] to the city[05892].
2:4 Woe[0337] to thee, O land[0776], when thy king[04428] is a child[05288], and thy princes[08269] eat[0398][8799] in the morning[01242]!
2:5 Blessed[0835] art thou, O land[0776], when thy king[04428] is the son[01121] of nobles[02715], and thy princes[08269] eat[0398][8799] in due season[06256], for strength[01369], and not for drunkenness[08358]!
2:6 By much slothfulness[06103] the building[04746] decayeth[04355][8735]; and through idleness[08220] of the hands[03027] the house[01004] droppeth through[01811][8799].
2:7 A feast[03899] is made[06213][8802] for laughter[07814], and wine[03196] maketh merry[08055][8762][02416]: but money[03701] answereth[06030][8799] all things . maketh...: Heb. maketh glad the life
2:8 Curse[07043][8762] not the king[04428], no not in thy thought[04093]; and curse[07043][8762] not the rich[06223] in thy bedchamber[02315][04904]: for a bird[05775] of the air[08064] shall carry[03212][8686] the voice[06963], and that which hath[01167] wings[03671] shall tell[05046][8686] the matter[01697]. thought: or, conscience
2:9 Cast[07971][8761] thy bread[03899] upon[06440] the waters[04325]: for thou shalt find[04672][8799] it after many[07230] days[03117]. upon...: Heb. upon the face of the waters
2:10 Give[05414][8798] a portion[02506] to seven[07651], and also to eight[08083]; for thou knowest[03045][8799] not what evil[07451] shall be upon the earth[0776].
2:11 If the clouds[05645] be full[04390][8735] of rain[01653], they empty[07324][8686] themselves upon the earth[0776]: and if the tree[06086] fall[05307][8799] toward the south[01864], or toward the north[06828], in the place[04725] where the tree[06086] falleth[05307][8799], there it shall be[01933][8799].
2:12 He that observeth[08104][8802] the wind[07307] shall not sow[02232][8799]; and he that regardeth[07200][8802] the clouds[05645] shall not reap[07114][8799].
2:13 As thou knowest[03045][8802] not what is the way[01870] of the spirit[07307], nor how the bones[06106] do grow in the womb[0990] of her that is with child[04392]: even so thou knowest[03045][8799] not the works[04639] of God[0430] who maketh[06213][8799] all.
2:14 In the morning[01242] sow[02232][8798] thy seed[02233], and in the evening[06153] withhold[03240][8686] not thine hand[03027]: for thou knowest[03045][8802] not whether[0335] shall prosper[03787][8799], either this or that, or whether they both[08147] shall be alike[0259] good[02896]. shall prosper: Heb. shall be right
2:15 Truly the light[0216] is sweet[04966], and a pleasant[02896] thing it is for the eyes[05869] to behold[07200][8800] the sun[08121]:
2:16 But if a man[0120] live[02421][8799] many[07235][8687] years[08141], and rejoice[08055][8799] in them all; yet let him remember[02142][8799] the days[03117] of darkness[02822]; for they shall be many[07235][8687]. All that cometh[0935][8804] is vanity[01892].
2:17 Rejoice[08055][8798], O young man[0970], in thy youth[03208]; and let thy heart[03820] cheer[02895][8686] thee in the days[03117] of thy youth[0979], and walk[01980][8761] in the ways[01870] of thine heart[03820], and in the sight[04758] of thine eyes[05869]: but know[03045][8798] thou, that for all these things God[0430] will bring[0935][8686] thee into judgment[04941].
3:1 Therefore remove[05493][8685] sorrow[03708] from thy heart[03820], and put away[05674][8685] evil[07451] from thy flesh[01320]: for childhood[03208] and youth[07839] are vanity[01892]. sorrow: or, anger
3:2 Remember[02142][8798] now thy Creator[01254][8802] in the days[03117] of thy youth[0979], while the evil[07451] days[03117] come[0935][8799] not, nor the years[08141] draw nigh[05060][8689], when thou shalt say[0559][8799], I have no pleasure[02656] in them;
3:3 While the sun[08121], or the light[0216], or the moon[03394], or the stars[03556], be not darkened[02821][8799], nor the clouds[05645] return[07725][8804] after[0310] the rain[01653]:
3:4 In the day[03117] when the keepers[08104][8802] of the house[01004] shall tremble[02111][8799], and the strong[02428] men[0582] shall bow[05791][8694] themselves, and the grinders[02912][8802] cease[0988][8804] because they are few[04591][8765], and those that look out[07200][8802] of the windows[0699] be darkened[02821][8804], the grinders...: or, the grinders fail, because they grind little
3:5 And the doors[01817] shall be shut[05462][8795] in the streets[07784], when the sound[06963] of the grinding[02913] is low[08217], and he shall rise up[06965][8799] at the voice[06963] of the bird[06833], and all the daughters[01323] of musick[07892] shall be brought low[07817][8735];
3:6 Also when they shall be afraid[03372][8799] of that which is high[01364], and fears[02849] shall be in the way[01870], and the almond tree[08247] shall flourish[05006][8686], and the grasshopper[02284] shall be a burden[05445][8691], and desire[035] shall fail[06565][8686]: because man[0120] goeth[01980][8802] to his long[05769] home[01004], and the mourners[05594][8802] go about[05437][8804] the streets[07784]:

3:8 Then shall the dust[06083] return[07725][8799] to the earth[0776] as it was: and the spirit[07307] shall return[07725][8799] unto God[0430] who gave[05414][8804] it.
3:9 Vanity[01892] of vanities[01892], saith[0559][8804] the preacher[06953]; all is vanity[01892].
3:10 And moreover[03148], because the preacher[06953] was wise[02450], he still taught[03925][8765] the people[05971] knowledge[01847]; yea, he gave good heed[0239][8765], and sought out[02713][8765], and set in order[08626][8765] many[07235][8687] proverbs[04912]. moreover...: or, the more wise the preacher was, etc
3:11 The preacher[06953] sought[01245][8765] to find out[04672][8800] acceptable[02656] words[01697]: and that which was written[03789][8803] was upright[03476], even  words[01697] of truth[0571]. acceptable...: Heb. words of delight
4:1 The words[01697] of the wise[02450] are as goads[01861], and as nails[04930] fastened[05193][8803] by the masters[01167] of assemblies[0627], which are given[05414][8738] from one[0259] shepherd[07462][8802].
4:2 And further[03148], by these[01992], my son[01121], be admonished[02094][8734]: of making[06213][8800] many[07235][8687] books[05612] there is no end[07093]; and much[07235][8687] study[03854] is a weariness[03024] of the flesh[01320]. study: or, reading
4:3 Let us hear[08085][8799] the conclusion[05490] of the whole matter[01697]: Fear[03372][8798] God[0430], and keep[08104][8798] his commandments[04687]: for this is the whole duty of man[0120]. Let...: or, The end of the matter, even all that hath been heard, is

4:7 Because of the savour[07381] of thy good[02896] ointments[08081] thy name[08034] is as ointment[08081] poured forth[07324][8714], therefore do the virgins[05959] love[0157][8804] thee.
4:8 Draw[04900][8798] me, we will run[07323][8799] after[0310] thee: the king[04428] hath brought[0935][8689] me into his chambers[02315]: we will be glad[01523][8799] and rejoice[08055][8799] in thee, we will remember[02142][8686] thy love[01730] more than wine[03196]: the upright[04339] love[0157][8804] thee. the upright...: or, they love thee uprightly

4:10 Look[07200][8799] not upon me, because I am black[07840], because the sun[08121] hath looked[07805][8804] upon me: my mother's[0517] children[01121] were angry[02787][8738] with me; they made[07760][8804] me the keeper[05201][8802] of the vineyards[03754]; but mine own vineyard[03754] have I not kept[05201][8804].
4:11 Tell[05046][8685] me, O thou whom my soul[05315] loveth[0157][8804], where thou feedest[07462][8799], where[0349] thou makest thy flock to rest[07257][8686] at noon[06672]: for[04100] why should I be as one that turneth aside[05844][8802] by the flocks[05739] of thy companions[02270]? as one...: or, as one that is veiled
4:12 If thou know[03045][8799] not, O thou fairest[03303] among women[0802], go thy way forth[03318][8798] by the footsteps[06119] of the flock[06629], and feed[07462][8798] thy kids[01429] beside the shepherds[07462][8802]' tents[04908].
4:13 I have compared[01819][8765] thee, O my love[07474], to a company of horses[05484] in Pharaoh's[06547] chariots[07393].

5:1 A bundle[06872] of myrrh[04753] is my wellbeloved[01730] unto me; he shall lie[03885][8799] all night betwixt my breasts[07699].

6:2 The fig tree[08384] putteth forth[02590][8804] her green figs[06291], and the vines[01612] with the tender grape[05563] give[05414][8804] a good smell[07381]. Arise[06965][8798], my love[07474], my fair one[03303], and come away[03212][8798].
6:3 O my dove[03123], that art in the clefts[02288] of the rock[05553], in the secret[05643] places of the stairs[04095], let me see[07200][8685] thy countenance[04758], let me hear[08085][8685] thy voice[06963]; for sweet[06156] is thy voice[06963], and thy countenance[04758] is comely[05000].
6:4 Take[0270][8798] us the foxes[07776], the little[06996] foxes[07776], that spoil[02254][8764] the vines[03754]: for our vines[03754] have tender grapes[05563].
6:5 My beloved[01730] is mine, and I am his: he feedeth[07462][8802] among the lilies[07799].
6:6 Until the day[03117] break[06315][8799], and the shadows[06752] flee away[05127][8804], turn[05437][8798], my beloved[01730], and be thou like[01819][8798] a roe[06643] or a young[06082] hart[0354] upon the mountains[02022] of Bether[01336]. of Bether: or, of division

6:8 I will rise[06965][8799] now, and go about[05437][8779] the city[05892] in the streets[07784], and in the broad ways[07339] I will seek[01245][8762] him whom my soul[05315] loveth[0157][8804]: I sought[01245][8765] him, but I found[04672][8804] him not.

6:10 It was but a little[04592] that I passed[05674][8804] from them, but I found[04672][8804] him whom my soul[05315] loveth[0157][8804]: I held[0270][8804] him, and would not let him go[07503][8686], until I had brought[0935][8689] him into my mother's[0517] house[01004], and into the chamber[02315] of her that conceived[02029][8802] me.
6:11 I charge[07650][8689] you, O ye daughters[01323] of Jerusalem[03389], by the roes[06643], and[0176] by the hinds[0355] of the field[07704], that ye stir not up[05782][8686], nor awake[05782][8787] my love[0160], till he please[02654][8799].
6:12 Who is this that cometh[05927][8802] out of the wilderness[04057] like pillars[08490] of smoke[06227], perfumed[06999][8794] with myrrh[04753] and frankincense[03828], with all powders[081] of the merchant[07402][8802]?
6:13 Behold his bed[04296], which is Solomon's[08010]; threescore[08346] valiant[01368] men are about[05439] it, of the valiant[01368] of Israel[03478].
7:1 They all hold[0270][8803] swords[02719], being expert[03925][8794] in war[04421]: every man[0376] hath his sword[02719] upon his thigh[03409] because of fear[06343] in the night[03915].

7:4 Go forth[03318][8798], O ye daughters[01323] of Zion[06726], and behold[07200][8798] king[04428] Solomon[08010] with the crown[05850] wherewith his mother[0517] crowned[05849][8765] him in the day[03117] of his espousals[02861], and in the day[03117] of the gladness[08057] of his heart[03820].
7:5 Behold, thou art fair[03303], my love[07474]; behold, thou art fair[03303]; thou hast doves[03123]' eyes[05869] within[01157] thy locks[06777]: thy hair[08181] is as a flock[05739] of goats[05795], that appear[01570] from mount[02022] Gilead[01568]. that...: or, that eat of, etc
7:6 Thy teeth[08127] are like a flock[05739] of sheep that are even shorn[07094][8803], which came up[05927][8804] from the washing[07367]; whereof every one bear twins[08382][8688], and none is barren[07909] among them.
7:7 Thy lips[08193] are like a thread[02339] of scarlet[08144], and thy speech[04057] is comely[05000]: thy temples[07541] are like a piece[06400] of a pomegranate[07416] within[01157] thy locks[06777].
7:8 Thy neck[06677] is like the tower[04026] of David[01732] builded[01129][8803] for an armoury[08530], whereon there hang[08518][8803] a thousand[0505] bucklers[04043], all shields[07982] of mighty men[01368].
7:9 Thy two[08147] breasts[07699] are like two[08147] young[06082] roes[06646] that are twins[08380], which feed[07462][8802] among the lilies[07799].
7:10 Until the day[03117] break[06315][8799], and the shadows[06752] flee away[05127][8804], I will get[03212][8799] me to the mountain[02022] of myrrh[04753], and to the hill[01389] of frankincense[03828]. break: Heb. breathe

8:2 Thy lips[08193], O my spouse[03618], drop[05197][8799] as the honeycomb[05317]: honey[01706] and milk[02461] are under thy tongue[03956]; and the smell[07381] of thy garments[08008] is like the smell[07381] of Lebanon[03844].
