20:031:025 Strength and honour are her clothing; and
she shall rejoice in
time
to come.
20:031:026 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and
in her tongue is the
law
of kindness.
20:031:027 She looketh well to the ways of her household,
and eateth not
the
bread of idleness.
20:031:028 Her children arise up, and call her blessed;
her husband also,
and
he praiseth her.
20:031:029 Many daughters have done virtuously, but
thou excellest them
all.
20:031:030 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:
but a woman that
feareth
the lord, she shall be praised.
20:031:031 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and
let her own works
praise
her in the gates.
Book 21 Ecclesiastes
21:001:001 The words of the Preacher, the son of David,
king in
Jerusalem.
21:001:002 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher,
vanity of vanities;
all
is vanity.
21:001:003 What profit hath a man of all his labour
which he taketh under
the
sun?
21:001:004 One generation passeth away, and another
generation cometh:
but
the earth abideth for ever.
21:001:005 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth
down, and hasteth to
his
place where he arose.
21:001:006 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth
about unto the
north;
it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth
again
according to his circuits.
21:001:007 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the
sea is not full; unto
the
place from whence the rivers come, thither they return
again.
21:001:008 All things are full of labour; man cannot
utter it: the eye is
not
satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
21:001:009 The thing that hath been, it is that which
shall be; and that
which
is done is that which shall be done: and there
is no new
thing
under the sun.
21:001:010 Is there any thing whereof it may be said,
See, this is new?
it
hath been already of old time, which was before us.
21:001:011 There is no remembrance of former things;
neither shall there
be
any remembrance of things that are to come with those
that
shall
come after.
21:001:012 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
21:001:013 And I gave my heart to seek and search
out by wisdom
concerning
all things that are done under heaven: this sore
travail
hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised
therewith.
21:001:014 I have seen all the works that are done
under the sun; and,
behold,
all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
