+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.
+
+21:001:015 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which
+           is wanting cannot be numbered.
+
+21:001:016 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great
+           estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have
+           been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great
+           experience of wisdom and knowledge.
+
+21:001:017 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and
+           folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
+
+21:001:018 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth
+           knowledge increaseth sorrow.
+
+21:002:001 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth,
+           therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
+
+21:002:002 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
+
+21:002:003 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet
+           acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly,
+           till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which
+           they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
+
+21:002:004 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me
+           vineyards:
+
+21:002:005 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of
+           all kind of fruits:
+
+21:002:006 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that
+           bringeth forth trees:
+
+21:002:007 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my
+           house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle
+           above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
+
+21:002:008 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure
+           of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women
+           singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical
+           instruments, and that of all sorts.
+
+21:002:009 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before
+           me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
+
+21:002:010 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I
+           withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in
+           all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
+
+21:002:011 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and
+           on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was
+           vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under
+           the sun.
+
+21:002:012 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly:
+           for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that
+           which hath been already done.
+
+21:002:013 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light
+           excelleth darkness.
+
+21:002:014 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in
+           darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth
+           to them all.
+
+21:002:015 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it
+           happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I
+           said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
+
+21:002:016 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool
+           for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall
+           all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
+
+21:002:017 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under
+           the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of
+           spirit.
+
+21:002:018 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun:
+           because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
+
+21:002:019 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet
+           shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured,
+           and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is
+           also vanity.
+
+21:002:020 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the
+           labour which I took under the sun.
+
+21:002:021 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in
+           knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured
+           therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity
+           and a great evil.
+
+21:002:022 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of
+           his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
+
+21:002:023 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his
+           heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
+
+21:002:024 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and
+           drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his
+           labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
+
+21:002:025 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
+
+21:002:026 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and
+           knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to
+           gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good
+           before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
+
+21:003:001 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose
+           under the heaven:
+
+21:003:002 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a
+           time to pluck up that which is planted;
+
+21:003:003 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and
+           a time to build up;
+
+21:003:004 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a
+           time to dance;
+
+21:003:005 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones
+           together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from
+           embracing;
+
+21:003:006 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time
+           to cast away;
+
+21:003:007 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and
+           a time to speak;
+
+21:003:008 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time
+           of peace.
+
+21:003:009 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
+
+21:003:010 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of
+           men to be exercised in it.
+
+21:003:011 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath
+           set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the
+           work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
+
+21:003:012 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to
+           rejoice, and to do good in his life.
+
+21:003:013 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the
+           good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
+
+21:003:014 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever:
+           nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God
+           doeth it, that men should fear before him.
+
+21:003:015 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath
+           already been; and God requireth that which is past.
+
+21:003:016 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that
+           wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that
+           iniquity was there.
+
+21:003:017 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the
+           wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for
+           every work.
+
+21:003:018 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men,
+           that God might manifest them, and that they might see that
+           they themselves are beasts.
+
+21:003:019 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts;
+           even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the
+           other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no
+           preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
+
+21:003:020 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to
+           dust again.
+
+21:003:021 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the
+           spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
+
+21:003:022 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a
+           man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion:
+           for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
+
+21:004:001 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.
+
+21:004:002 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than
+           the living which are yet alive.
+
+21:004:003 Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who
+           hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
+
+21:004:004 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that
+           for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity
+           and vexation of spirit.
+
+21:004:005 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
+
+21:004:006 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full
+           with travail and vexation of spirit.
+
+21:004:007 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
+
+21:004:008 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath
+           neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his
+           labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither
+           saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good?
+           This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
+
+21:004:009 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for
+           their labour.
+
+21:004:010 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to
+           him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to
+           help him up.
+
+21:004:011 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can
+           one be warm alone?
+
+21:004:012 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a
+           threefold cord is not quickly broken.
+
+21:004:013 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish
+           king, who will no more be admonished.
+
+21:004:014 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is
+           born in his kingdom becometh poor.
+
+21:004:015 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the
+           second child that shall stand up in his stead.
+
+21:004:016 There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been
+           before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in
+           him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
+
+21:005:001 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more
+           ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they
+           consider not that they do evil.
+
+21:005:002 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty
+           to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou
+           upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
+
+21:005:003 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a
+           fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
+
+21:005:004 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he
+           hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
+
+21:005:005 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou
+           shouldest vow and not pay.
+
+21:005:006 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say
+           thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should
+           God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine
+           hands?
+
+21:005:007 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also
+           divers vanities: but fear thou God.
+
+21:005:008 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent
+           perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not
+           at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest
+           regardeth; and there be higher than they.
+
+21:005:009 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself
+           is served by the field.
+
+21:005:010 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor
+           he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
+
+21:005:011 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and
+           what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding
+           of them with their eyes?
+
+21:005:012 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little
+           or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to
+           sleep.
+
+21:005:013 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely,
+           riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
+
+21:005:014 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a
+           son, and there is nothing in his hand.
+
+21:005:015 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return
+           to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which
+           he may carry away in his hand.
+
+21:005:016 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came,
+           so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for
+           the wind?
+
+21:005:017 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much
+           sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
+
+21:005:018 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one
+           to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour
+           that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which
+           God giveth him: for it is his portion.
+
+21:005:019 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and
+           hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion,
+           and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
+
+21:005:020 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because
+           God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
+
+21:006:001 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is
+           common among men:
+
+21:006:002 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so
+           that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth,
+           yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger
+           eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
+
+21:006:003 If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so
+           that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled
+           with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an
+           untimely birth is better than he.
+
+21:006:004 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and
+           his name shall be covered with darkness.
+
+21:006:005 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this
+           hath more rest than the other.
+
+21:006:006 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he
+           seen no good: do not all go to one place?
+
+21:006:007 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite
+           is not filled.
+
+21:006:008 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor,
+           that knoweth to walk before the living?
+
+21:006:009 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the
+           desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
+
+21:006:010 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it
+           is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than
+           he.
+
+21:006:011 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man
+           the better?
+
+21:006:012 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the
+           days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who
+           can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
+
+21:007:001 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of
+           death than the day of one's birth.
+
+21:007:002 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 heart.
+
+21:007:003 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the
+           countenance the heart is made better.
+
+21:007:004 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the
+           heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
+
+21:007:005 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to
+           hear the song of fools.
+
+21:007:006 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter
+           of the fool: this also is vanity.
+
+21:007:007 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth
+           the heart.
+
+21:007:008 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and
+           the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
+
+21:007:009 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in
+           the bosom of fools.
+
+21:007:010 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were
+           better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning
+           this.
+
+21:007:011 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit
+           to them that see the sun.
+
+21:007:012 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the
+           excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them
+           that have it.
+
+21:007:013 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight,
+           which he hath made crooked?
+
+21:007:014 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of
+           adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the
+           other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
+
+21:007:015 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a
+           just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a
+           wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
+
+21:007:016 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise:
+           why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
+
+21:007:017 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why
+           shouldest thou die before thy time?
+
+21:007:018 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also
+           from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God
+           shall come forth of them all.
+
+21:007:019 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which
+           are in the city.
+
+21:007:020 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and
+           sinneth not.
+
+21:007:021 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou
+           hear thy servant curse thee:
+
+21:007:022 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself
+           likewise hast cursed others.
+
+21:007:023 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but
+           it was far from me.
+
+21:007:024 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it
+           out?
+
+21:007:025 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out
+           wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness
+           of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
+
+21:007:026 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is
+           snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God
+           shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
+
+21:007:027 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by
+           one, to find out the account:
+
+21:007:028 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a
+           thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not
+           found.
+
+21:007:029 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright;
+           but they have sought out many inventions.
+
+21:008:001 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of
+           a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the
+           boldness of his face shall be changed.
+
+21:008:002 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in
+           regard of the oath of God.
+
+21:008:003 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil
+           thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
+
+21:008:004 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say
+           unto him, What doest thou?
+
+21:008:005 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a
+           wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
+
+21:008:006 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore
+           the misery of man is great upon him.
+
+21:008:007 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him
+           when it shall be?
+
+21:008:008 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the
+           spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there
+           is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver
+           those that are given to it.
+
+21:008:009 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work
+           that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man
+           ruleth over another to his own hurt.
+
+21:008:010 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the
+           place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where
+           they had so done: this is also vanity.
+
+21:008:011 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed
+           speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set
+           in them to do evil.
+
+21:008:012 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be
+           prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them
+           that fear God, which fear before him:
+
+21:008:013 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he
+           prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth
+           not before God.
+
+21:008:014 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be
+           just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the
+           wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth
+           according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also
+           is vanity.
+
+21:008:015 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing
+           under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for
+           that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life,
+           which God giveth him under the sun.
+
+21:008:016 When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the
+           business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that
+           neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)
+
+21:008:017 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out
+           the work that is done under the sun: because though a man
+           labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther;
+           though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able
+           to find it.
+
+21:009:001 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all
+           this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are
+           in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by
+           all that is before them.
+
+21:009:002 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the
+           righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean,
+           and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that
+           sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that
+           sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
+
+21:009:003 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun,
+           that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the
+           sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart
+           while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
+
+21:009:004 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for
+           a living dog is better than a dead lion.
+
+21:009:005 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not
+           any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory
+           of them is forgotten.
+
+21:009:006 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now
+           perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any
+           thing that is done under the sun.
+
+21:009:007 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a
+           merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
+
+21:009:008 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no
+           ointment.
+
+21:009:009 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of
+           the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the
+           sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in
+           this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
+
+21:009:010 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for
+           there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in
+           the grave, whither thou goest.
+
+21:009:011 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the
+           swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the
+           wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour
+           to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
+
+21:009:012 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are
+           taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the
+           snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it
+           falleth suddenly upon them.
+
+21:009:013 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed
+           great unto me:
+
+21:009:014 There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came
+           a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great
+           bulwarks against it:
+
+21:009:015 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his
+           wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same
+           poor man.
+
+21:009:016 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the
+           poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
+
+21:009:017 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of
+           him that ruleth among fools.
+
+21:009:018 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner
+           destroyeth much good.
+
+21:010:001 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 honour.
+
+21:010:002 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at
+           his left.
+
+21:010:003 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his
+           wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a
+           fool.
+
+21:010:004 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy
+           place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
+
+21:010:005 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error
+           which proceedeth from the ruler:
+
+21:010:006 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
+
+21:010:007 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as
+           servants upon the earth.
+
+21:010:008 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh
+           an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
+
+21:010:009 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that
+           cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
+
+21:010:010 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must
+           he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
+
+21:010:011 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a
+           babbler is no better.
+
+21:010:012 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of
+           a fool will swallow up himself.
+
+21:010:013 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and
+           the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
+
+21:010:014 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be;
+           and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
+
+21:010:015 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because
+           he knoweth not how to go to the city.
+
+21:010:016 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes
+           eat in the morning!
+
+21:010:017 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles,
+           and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for
+           drunkenness!
+
+21:010:018 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through
+           idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
+
+21:010:019 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money
+           answereth all things.
+
+21:010:020 Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the
+           rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the
+           voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
+
+21:011:001 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after
+           many days.
+
+21:011:002 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest
+           not what evil shall be upon the earth.
+
+21:011:003 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the
+           earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the
+           north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
+
+21:011:004 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that
+           regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
+
+21:011:005 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the
+           bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so
+           thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
+
+21:011:006 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not
+           thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either
+           this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
+
+21:011:007 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the
+           eyes to behold the sun:
+
+21:011:008 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let
+           him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All
+           that cometh is vanity.
+
+21:011:009 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer
+           thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine
+           heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for
+           all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
+
+21:011:010 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from
+           thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
+
+21:012:001 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the
+           evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt
+           say, I have no pleasure in them;
+
+21:012:002 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not
+           darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
+
+21:012:003 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and
+           the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease
+           because they are few, and those that look out of the windows
+           be darkened,
+
+21:012:004 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of
+           the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the
+           bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
+
+21:012:005 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and
+           fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish,
+           and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail:
+           because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about
+           the streets:
+
+21:012:006 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be
+           broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel
+           broken at the cistern.
+
+21:012:007 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the
+           spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
+
+21:012:008 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
+
+21:012:009 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught
+           the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out,
+           and set in order many proverbs.
+
+21:012:010 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that
+           which was written was upright, even words of truth.
+
+21:012:011 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by
+           the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
+
+21:012:012 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many
+           books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the
+           flesh.
+
+21:012:013 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and
+           keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
+
+21:012:014 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every
+           secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,

+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
+you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS EBOOK
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+eBook, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this eBook from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook) disclaims
+all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this eBook within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from. If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS EBOOK IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE EBOOK OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT

+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
