A man to whom God has given riches, and wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires; yet God does not give him the power to eat of it, but a stranger eats it; this disease.

Yea, though he lives twice a thousand years, yet he has seen no good. Do not all go to one place?

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not filled.

Though a sinner does evil a hundred times , and his days are prolonged to him, yet surely I know that it shall be well to those who fear God, who fear before Him.

Then I looked at all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun; because though a man labors to seek it out, yet he shall not find it. And even if the wise speaks of knowing, he shall not be ableto find it .

And there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom saved the city. Yet no man remembered that poor man!

Yet the stupid one makes many words; a man knows not what they shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?

while not yet the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, are darkened, or the clouds return after rain;

while the silver cord is not yet loosed, or the golden bowl is crushed, or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern;

But yet a tenth shall be in it, and it shall return and be consumed like the terebinth and like the oak that in being felled yet has its stump (the holy seed is its stump).

Yet there shall not be gloom for which anguish is to her; as in the former time when He degraded the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, so afterwardsHe will glorify the way of the sea, beyondthe Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

And he shall cut off on the right hand, yet be hungry. And he shall eat on the left, but not be satisfied. Each man shall eat the flesh of his own arm;

Yet he does not purpose this, nor does his heart think so. For it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations.

But yet a little while, and the fury is finished; and My anger shall be over their destruction.

Yet he remains in Nob today; he will shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

For Jehovah will have pity on Jacob, and will yet choose among Israel, and set them in their own land. And the stranger shall be joined to them; and they shall cling to the house of Jacob.

Yet you shall go down to Sheol, to the sides of the Pit.

Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree; two or three ripe olives in the top of the uppermost branch; four or five in the fruit tree branches, declares Jehovah God of Israel.

And the glorious beauty which is on the head of the fat valley shall be a fading flower, like the first ripe fig before summer which the seeing one sees; while it is yet in his hand, he swallows it.

Yet the Word of Jehovah was to them, precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they might go, and stumble, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
