Bible Reading for June 11


CHAPTER 4
Ecclesiastes 4:1
1 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.
Ecclesiastes 4:2
2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living
which are yet alive.
Ecclesiastes 4:3
3 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. Ecclesiastes 4:4
4 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.
Ecclesiastes 4:5
5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. Ecclesiastes
4:6
6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail
and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes 4:7
7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun. Ecclesiastes 4:8
8 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. Ecclesiastes 4:9
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
Ecclesiastes 4:10
10 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. Ecclesiastes
4:11
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm
alone?
Ecclesiastes 4:12
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold
cord is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:13
13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no
more be admonished.
Ecclesiastes 4:14
14 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his
kingdom becometh poor.
Ecclesiastes 4:15
15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child
that shall stand up in his stead. Ecclesiastes 4:16
16 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.
CHAPTER 5
Ecclesiastes 5:1
1 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.
Ecclesiastes 5:2
2 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.
Ecclesiastes 5:3
3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is
known by multitude of words.
Ecclesiastes 5:4
4 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. Ecclesiastes 5:5
5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and
not pay.
Ecclesiastes 5:6
6 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? Ecclesiastes 5:7
7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities:
but fear thou God.
Ecclesiastes 5:8
8 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. Ecclesiastes 5:9
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by
the field.
Ecclesiastes 5:10
10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth
abundance with increase: this is also vanity. Ecclesiastes 5:11
11 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?
Ecclesiastes 5:12
12 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. Ecclesiastes 5:13
13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept
for the owners thereof to their hurt. Ecclesiastes 5:14
14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there
is nothing in his hand.
Ecclesiastes 5:15
15 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.
Ecclesiastes 5:16
16 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? Ecclesiastes 5:17
17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath
with his sickness.
Ecclesiastes 5:18
18 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.
Ecclesiastes 5:19
19 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.
Ecclesiastes 5:20
20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth
him in the joy of his heart. CHAPTER 6
Ecclesiastes 6:1
1 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
Ecclesiastes 6:2
2 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.
Ecclesiastes 6:3
3 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. Ecclesiastes
6:4
4 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall
be covered with darkness.
Ecclesiastes 6:5
5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest
than the other.
Ecclesiastes 6:6
6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do
not all go to one place?
Ecclesiastes 6:7
7 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
Ecclesiastes 6:8
8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth
to walk before the living?
Ecclesiastes 6:9
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is
also vanity and vexation of spirit. Ecclesiastes 6:10
10 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. Ecclesiastes 6:11
11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
Ecclesiastes 6:12
12 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?
