Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
6
That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
6
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
6
For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
6
All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
6
Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
6
Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.
6
For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
6
If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
6
A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
6
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
6
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
6
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
6
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
6
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
6
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
6
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
6
So he that goeth in to his neighbour"s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
6
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
6
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
6
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
6
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
6
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
6
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
6
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
6
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
6
My son, keep thy father"s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
6
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
6
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
6
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
