Ecclesiastes 9 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

It is the same ^H834 for all ^H3605. There is one ^H259 fate ^H4745 for the righteous ^H6662 and for the wicked ^H7563; for the good ^H2896, for the clean ^H2889 and for the unclean ^H2931; for the man who offers ^H2076 a ^H2076 sacrifice ^H2076 and for the one who ^H834 does not sacrifice ^H2076. As the good ^H2896 man ^H2896 is, so is the sinner ^H2398; as the swearer ^H7650 is, so is the one who [fn]is ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 to swear ^H7621.

Go ^H1980 then, eat ^H398 your bread ^H3899 in gladness ^H8057 and drink ^H8354 your wine ^H3196 with a merry ^H2896 heart ^H3820; for God ^H430 has already ^H3528 accepted ^H7521 your works ^H4639.

Whatever ^H3605 H834 your hand ^H3027 finds ^H4672 to do ^H6213, do ^H6213 it with all your might ^H3581; for there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 working ^H4639 or explaining ^H2808 or knowledge ^H1847 or wisdom ^H2451 in Sheol ^H7585 where ^H834 H8033 you are going ^H1980.

I again ^H7725 saw ^H7200 under ^H8478 the sun ^H8121 that the race ^H4793 is not to the swift ^H7031 and the battle ^H4421 is not to the mighty ^H1368, and neither ^H1571 H3808 is bread ^H3899 to the wise ^H2450 nor ^H3808 H1571 riches ^H6239 to the discerning ^H995 nor ^H3808 H1571 favor ^H2580 to men who know ^H3045; for time ^H6256 and misfortune ^H6294 overtake ^H7136 them all ^H3605.

Also ^H1571 this ^H2090 I came to see ^H7200 as wisdom ^H2451 under ^H8478 the sun ^H8121, and [fn]it was great ^H1419 to me.
