9:1 But
all
this
I
laid
to
heart,
examining
it
all,
how
the
righteous
and
the
wise
and
their
deeds
are
in
the
hand
of
God.
Whether
it
is
love
or
hate,
man
does
not
know;
both
are
before
him.
9:2 It
is
the
same
for
all,
since
the
same
event
happens
to
the
righteous
and
the
wicked,
to
the
good
and
the
evil,
to
the
clean
and
the
unclean,
to
him
who
sacrifices
and
him
who
does
not
sacrifice.
As
the
good
one
is,
so
is
the
sinner,
and
he
who
swears
is
as
he
who
shuns
an
oath.
9:3 This
is
an
evil
in
all
that
is
done
under
the
sun,
that
the
same
event
happens
to
all.
Also,
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
man
are
full
of
evil,
and
madness
is
in
their
hearts
while
they
live,
and
after
that
they
go
to
the
dead.
9:4 But
he
who
is
joined
with
all
the
living
has
hope,
for
a
living
dog
is
better
than
a
dead
lion.
9:5 For
the
living
know
that
they
will
die,
but
the
dead
know
nothing,
and
they
have
no
more
reward,
for
the
memory
of
them
is
forgotten.
9:6 Their
love
and
their
hate
and
their
envy
have
already
perished,
and
forever
they
have
no
more
share
in
all
that
is
done
under
the
sun.
9:7 Go,
eat
your
bread
with
joy,
and
drink
your
wine
with
a
merry
heart,
for
God
has
already
approved
what
you
do.
9:8 Let
your
garments
be
always
white.
Let
not
oil
be
lacking
on
your
head.
9:9 Enjoy
life
with
the
wife
whom
you
love,
all
the
days
of
your
vain
life
that
he
has
given
you
under
the
sun,
because
that
is
your
portion
in
life
and
in
your
toil
at
which
you
toil
under
the
sun.
9:10 Whatever
your
hand
finds
to
do,
do
it
with
your
might,
for
there
is
no
work
or
thought
or
knowledge
or
wisdom
in
Sheol,
to
which
you
are
going.
9:11 Again
I
saw
that
under
the
sun
the
race
is
not
to
the
swift,
nor
the
battle
to
the
strong,
nor
bread
to
the
wise,
nor
riches
to
the
intelligent,
nor
favor
to
those
with
knowledge,
but
time
and
chance
happen
to
them
all.
9:12 For
man
does
not
know
his
time.
Like
fish
that
are
taken
in
an
evil
net,
and
like
birds
that
are
caught
in
a
snare,
so
the
children
of
man
are
snared
at
an
evil
time,
when
it
suddenly
falls
upon
them.
9:13 I
have
also
seen
this
example
of
wisdom
under
the
sun,
and
it
seemed
great
to
me.
9:14 There
was
a
little
city
with
few
men
in
it,
and
a
great
king
came
against
it
and
besieged
it,
building
great
siegeworks
against
it.
9:15 But
there
was
found
in
it
a
poor,
wise
man,
and
he
by
his
wisdom
delivered
the
city.
Yet
no
one
remembered
that
poor
man.
9:16 But
I
say
that
wisdom
is
better
than
might,
though
the
poor
man's
wisdom
is
despised
and
his
words
are
not
heard.
9:17 The
words
of
the
wise
heard
in
quiet
are
better
than
the
shouting
of
a
ruler
among
fools.
9:18 Wisdom
is
better
than
weapons
of
war,
but
one
sinner
destroys
much
good.
