My Bible

In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.

which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.

highlighted Ecclesiastes 7:19-25 ESV

Wisdom gives strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you.Your heart knows that many times you yourself have cursed others.All this I have tested by wisdom. I said, "I will be wise," but it was far from me.That which has been is far off, and deep, very deep; who can find it out?I turned my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness that is madness.

Furthermore, as for every man to whom aGod has given riches and wealth, He has also bempowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the cgift of God.For he will not often consider the years of his life, because aGod keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart.

Whatever aexists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he bcannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is.For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a man?For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man awhat will be after him under the sun?

For awhat advantage does the wise man have over the fool? What advantage does the poor man have, knowing how to walk before the living?What the eyes asee is better than what the soul desires. This too is bfutility and a striving after wind.

"It never sees the sun and it never knows anything; it is better off than he."Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice and does not enjoy good things--ado not all go to one place?"aAll a man's labor is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied.

highlighted Ecclesiastes 6:1-2 NASB

There is an aevil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men--a man to whom God has agiven riches and wealth and honor so that his soul blacks nothing of all that he desires; yet God has not empowered him to eat from them, for a foreigner enjoys them. This is vanity and a severe affliction.
