Ecclesiastes Chapter 2 and 3 ..Dead sea Scrolls
CCLESIASTES 2:12 doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun. The Vanity of Living Wisely So I turned to consider wisdom and mad-ness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king Only what has already been done. "Then I saw that there is more gain In wisdom than in folly, as there is more gain in light than in darkness. The wise person has his eves in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them. Then I said in my heart, "What happens to the fool will hap-pen to me also. Why then have I been so very wise?" And I said in my heart that this also is vanity. For of the wise as of the fool there is no enduring remembrance, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. How the wise dies just like the fool! "So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me, for all is vanity and a striving after wind The Vanity of Toil 1 hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me, and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity. So I turned about and gave my heart up to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun, 2 because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? 22 For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity. There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoy-ment in his toil. This also, 1 saw, is from the hand of God, for apart from him who can cat or who can have enjoyment? For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has soven the business of gathering and collecting only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. 554 A Time for Everything 3 For everything there is a season, and for every matter under heaven # a time to be born, and a time to die a time to plant, and a time to pod what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal a time to break down, and a timeb up: 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh a time to mourn, and a time to danc sa time to cast away stones, and a gather stones together, a time to embrace, and a time to refran from embracing; ⚫ a time to seek, and a time to lose a time to keep, and a time to cast aw 7 a time to tear, and a time to sew a time to keep silence, and a time to speak: a time to love, and a time to hate, a time for war, and a time for peace The God-Given Task What gain has the worker from his toif? have seen the business that God has given the children of man to be busy with. "Hela made everything beautiful in its time Aisole has put eternity into man's heart, yet so thathe cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 121 perceived that there s nothing better for them than to be joyful and do good as long as they live; 1 also that every should eat and drink and take pleasure inal toil this is God's gift to man. 14 I perceived that whatever God doe endures forever: nothing can be added wit nor anything taken from it God has done it, so that people fear before him. The which is already has been: that which is the already has been: and God seeks what has been driven away.
From Dust to Dust place of justice, even there was 18 Moreover, I saw under the sun that in and in the place of righteousness, even ther was wickedness. "I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked for the is a time for every matter and for every s said in my heart with regard to the chili of man thar God is testing them that they m see that they themselves are
