CHAPTER 10
Ecclesiastes 10:1
1 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.
Ecclesiastes 10:2
2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
Ecclesiastes 10:3
3 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. Ecclesiastes 10:4
4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for
yielding pacifieth great offences.
Ecclesiastes 10:5
5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which
proceedeth from the ruler:
Ecclesiastes 10:6
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. Ecclesiastes
10:7
7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the
earth.
Ecclesiastes 10:8
8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a
serpent shall bite him.
Ecclesiastes 10:9
9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood
shall be endangered thereby.
Ecclesiastes 10:10
10 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. Ecclesiastes 10:11
11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no
better.
Ecclesiastes 10:12
12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will
swallow up himself.
Ecclesiastes 10:13
13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his
talk is mischievous madness.
Ecclesiastes 10:14
14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what
shall be after him, who can tell him? Ecclesiastes 10:15
15 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not
how to go to the city.
Ecclesiastes 10:16
16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the
morning!
Ecclesiastes 10:17
17 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! Ecclesiastes
10:18
18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the
hands the house droppeth through.
Ecclesiastes 10:19
19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all
things.
Ecclesiastes 10:20
20 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.
CHAPTER 11
Ecclesiastes 11:1
1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
Ecclesiastes 11:2
2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil
shall be upon the earth.
Ecclesiastes 11:3
3 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. Ecclesiastes 11:4
4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds
shall not reap.
Ecclesiastes 11:5
5 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.
Ecclesiastes 11:6
6 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.
Ecclesiastes 11:7
7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold
the sun:
Ecclesiastes 11:8
8 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.
Ecclesiastes 11:9
9 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.
Ecclesiastes 11:10
10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh:
for childhood and youth are vanity. CHAPTER 12
Ecclesiastes 12:1
1 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;
Ecclesiastes 12:2
2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor
the clouds return after the rain: Ecclesiastes 12:3
3 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, Ecclesiastes 12:4
4 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;
Ecclesiastes 12:5
5 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: Ecclesiastes 12:6
6 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.
Ecclesiastes 12:7
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall
return unto God who gave it.
Ecclesiastes 12:8
8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. Ecclesiastes 12:9
9 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.
Ecclesiastes 12:10
10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written
was upright, even words of truth. Ecclesiastes 12:11
11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of
assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. Ecclesiastes 12:12
12 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. Ecclesiastes 12:13
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his
commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:14
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
