Bible Reading for June 10


Ecclesiastes 1
[1] The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. [2] Vanity
of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
[3] What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? [4]
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth
abideth for ever.
[5] The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place
where he arose.
[6] 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.
[7] 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. [8] All things are full
of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the
ear filled with hearing. [9] 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. [10] Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this
is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. [11] 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. [12] I the Preacher was king
over Israel in Jerusalem. [13] 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. [14] I have seen all
the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation
of spirit.
[15] That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting
cannot be numbered.
[16] 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. [17] And I gave my
heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also
is vexation of spirit. [18] For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that
increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Ecclesiastes 2
[1] I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore
enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. [2] I said of laughter, It is
mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? [3] 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.
[4] I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: [5] I
made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of
fruits:
[6] I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth
trees:
[7] 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:
[8] 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. [9] So I was
great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my
wisdom remained with me. [10] 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.
[11] 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. [12] 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.
[13] Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth
darkness.
[14] 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. [15] 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.
[16] 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.
[17] 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. [18] 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. [19] 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. [20] Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the
labour which I took under the sun.
[21] 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. [22] For what hath man of all
his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under
the sun? [23] For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his
heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity. [24] 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.
[25] For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? [26] 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.

Ecclesiastes 3
[1] To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven:
[2] A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck
up that which is planted;
[3] A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to
build up;
[4] A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
[5] A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to
embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; [6] A time to get, and a time to
lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
[7] A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to
speak;
[8] A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. [9]
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? [10] I have seen
the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
[11] 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.
[12] I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do
good in his life.
[13] And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all
his labour, it is the gift of God.
[14] 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.
[15] That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been;
and God requireth that which is past. [16] And moreover I saw under the sun the
place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness,
that iniquity was there. [17] 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. [18] 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.
[19] 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.
[20] All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
[21] Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the
beast that goeth downward to the earth? [22] 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?
