יֵשׁ

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?

All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.

How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.
