Ecclesiastes 9:11King James Bible with Strong NumbersH7725I returned[H8804] H7200, and saw[H8800] H8121under the sunH4793, that the raceH7031is not to the swiftH4421, nor the battleH1368to the strongH3899, neither yet breadH2450to the wiseH6239, nor yet richesH995to men of understanding[H8737] H2580, nor yet favourH3045to men of skill[H8802] H6256; but timeH6294and chanceH7136happeneth[H8799] to them all. See the chapter |
H559And he said[H8799] H7181, Hearken[H8685] H3063ye, all JudahH3427, and ye inhabitants[H8802] H3389of JerusalemH4428, and thou kingH3092JehoshaphatH559, Thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH3372unto you, Be not afraid[H8799] H2865nor dismayed[H8735] H6440by reasonH7227of this greatH1995multitudeH4421; for the battleH430is not yours, but God's.
H7725So I returned[H8804] H7200, and considered[H8799] H6217all the oppressionsH6213that are done[H8737] H8121under the sunH1832: and behold the tearsH6231of such as were oppressed[H8803] H5162, and they had no comforter[H8764] H3027; and on the sideH6231of their oppressors[H8802] H3581there was powerH5162; but they had no comforter[H8764] .
H53And AbsalomH376and all the menH3478of IsraelH559said[H8799] H6098, The counselH2365of HushaiH757the ArchiteH2896is betterH6098than the counselH302of AhithophelH3068. For the LORDH6680had appointed[H8765] H6565to defeat[H8687] H2896the goodH6098counselH302of AhithophelH5668, to the intentH3068that the LORDH935might bring[H8687] H7451evilH53upon Absalom.
H3606And allH1753the inhabitants[H8748] H772of the earthH2804are reputed[H8752] H3809as nothingH5648: and he doeth[H8751] H6634according to his will[H8749] H2429in the armyH8065of heavenH1753, and among the inhabitants[H8748] H772of the earthH3809: and noneH383canH4223stay[H8741] H3028his handH560, or say[H8748] H4101unto him, WhatH5648doest[H8754] thou?
H302And when AhithophelH7200saw[H8804] H6098that his counselH6213was not followed[H8738] H2280, he saddled[H8799] H2543his assH6965, and arose[H8799] H3212, and gat him home[H8799] H1004to his houseH5892, to his cityH1004, and put his householdH6680in order[H8762] H2614, and hanged[H8735] H4191himself, and died[H8799] H6912, and was buried[H8735] H6913in the sepulchreH1of his father.
H7200And see[H8804] H5927, if it goeth up[H8799] H1870by the wayH1366of his own coastH1053to BethshemeshH6213, then he hath done[H8804] H1419us this greatH7451evilH3045: but if not, then we shall know[H8804] H3027that it is not his handH5060that smote[H8804] H4745us: it was a chanceH1961that happened to us[H8804] .
H259All things come alike to all: there is oneH4745eventH6662to the righteousH7563, and to the wickedH2896; to the goodH2889and to the cleanH2931, and to the uncleanH2076; to him that sacrificeth[H8802] H834, and to him thatH2076sacrificeth[H8802] H2896not: as is the goodH2398, so is the sinner[H8802] H7650; and he that sweareth[H8737] H3373, as he that fearethH7621an oath.
H7451This is an evilH6213among all things that are done[H8738] H8121under the sunH259, that there is oneH4745eventH3820unto all: yea, also the heartH1121of the sonsH120of menH4390is full[H8804] H7451of evilH1947, and madnessH3824is in their heartH2416while they liveH310, and afterH4191that they go to the dead[H8801] .
