In the good day, be in good spirit , but also see in the evil day, that God has made one along with the other, so that man should not find anything after him.

It is good that you should take hold of this; yea, also from this do not let your hand rest; for he who fears God shall come forth with all of them.

and I found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets; her hands are bonds. He who is good before God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be captured by her.

See, this only I have found, that God has made man upright, but they have sought out many inventions.

I say , Keep the king's word, even on the matter of the oath of God;

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.

But it shall not be well for the wicked; and he shall not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

Then I praised mirth, because nothing is good for man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be glad. For that shall go with him in his labor for the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

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 .

For all this I gave to heart, even to explain all this, that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. Whether love or hatred, man does not know all that is before them.

Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God now is pleased with your works.

As you do not know what is the way of the wind, as the bones in the pregnant woman's womb, even so you do not know the works of God who makes all.

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth. And make your heart glad in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

then the dust shall return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this applies to every man.

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with all that is hidden, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

Hear the Word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom. Listen to the Law of our God, people of Gomorrah.

And many people shall go and say, Come and let us go up to the mount of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach from His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For out of Zion the Law will go forth, and the Word of Jehovahfrom Jerusalem.

But Jehovah of Hosts is exalted in judgment, and God the Holy One is proven holy in righteousness.

Ask a sign from Jehovah your God; make deep the request, or make it high above.
