The words of Qoheleth, son of Dawiḏ
I, Qoheleth, was sovereign over Yisra’ĕ
“See, this I have found,” says Qoheleth, “Counting one by one, to find a conclusion,
and did not spare the world of old, but preserved Noaḥ
The Spirit of the Master יהוה is upon Me, because יהוה has anointed Me to bring good news to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound,
I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness, In the great assembly; See, I do not restrain my lips, O יהוה, You know.
And you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Yerushalayim, saying, ‘A sovereign is in Yehuḏ
And Shelomoh reigned in Yerushalayim over all Yisra’ĕ
“Arise, go to Ninewĕ
The proverbs of Shelomoh son of Dawiḏ
Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.
