And now may the Lord deal in mercy and truth toward you: and I also will requite toward you this good deed, because ye have done this.

Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal son of Ner? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from above the wall, and he died in Thebez? why did ye draw near to the wall? then thou shalt say, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.

And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, Nay, let me also run after Hushai. And Joab said, Why wouldest thou thus run, my son? attend, thou hast no tidings for profit if thou go.

And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are older than you, we have also an interest in David above you: and why have ye thus insulted us, and why was not our advice taken before that of Judah, to bring back our king?

Only they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who led Israel to sin: they walked in them—moreover the grove also remained in Samaria.

Nay even Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but they walked according to the customs of Israel which they practiced, and rejected the Lord.

So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images: yea, their sons and their sons’ sons do until this day even as their fathers did.

Forasmuch as Manasseh the king of Judah has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before him, and has led Judah also into sin by their idols,

because thy heart was softened, and thou wast humbled before me, when thou heardest all that I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, that it should be utterly destroyed and accursed, and thou didst rend thy garments, and weep before me; I also have heard, saith the Lord.

Also the high altar in Bethel, which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burned the grove.

Moreover Josiah removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord.

And the Lord said, I will also remove Judah from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept, after all these things that Josiah did in the house. king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and all his soul, and all his strength, according to all the law of Moses, and after him there rose up none like him. even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

For it were well if he would thoroughly search you: For though doing all things in your power ye should attach yourselves to him,

Truly among us are both the old and very aged man, More advanced in days than thy father.

I also will speak as ye do: If indeed your soul were in my soul’s stead, Then would I insult you with words, And I would shake my head at you.

Yea, why had I the strength of their hands? For them the full term of life was lost.

Oh then that I might lay hands upon myself, Or at least ask another, and he should do this for me.

There is no memorial to the first things; Neither to the things that have been last Shall their memorial be With them that shall be at the last time.

And my heart knew much—wisdom, and knowledge, Parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is waywardness of spirit.

I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth, and behold thou good: And, behold, this is also vanity.

I got servants and maidens, And servants were born to me in the house: Also I had abundant possession of flocks and herds, Beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem.

Moreover I collected for myself both silver and gold also, And the peculiar treasures of kings and provinces: I procured me singing men and singing women, And delights of the sons of men, A butler and female cupbearers.

So I became great, And advanced beyond all That were before me in Jerusalem: Also my wisdom was established to me.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head; But the fool walks in darkness: And I perceived, even I, That one event shall happen to them all.

And I said in my heart, As the event of the fool is, So shall it be to me, even to me; And to what purpose have I gained wisdom? I said moreover in my heart, This is also vanity, Because the fool speaks of his abundance.

And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? And whether he will have power over all my labor In which I labored, and wherein I grew wise under the sun? This is also vanity.

For there is such a man that his labor Is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in fortitude; Yet this man shall give his portion To one who has not labored therein. This is also vanity and great evil.

For all his days Are days of sorrows, and vexation of spirit is his; In the night also his heart rests not. This is also vanity.

A man has nothing really good To eat, and to drink, and to show his soul As good in his trouble. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

For God has given to the man Who is good in his sight, Wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: But he has given to the sinner trouble, To add and to heap up, That he may give to him that is good before God; For this is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.

All the things which he has made are beautiful in his time: He has also set the whole world in their heart, That man might not find out The work which God has wrought from the beginning even to the end.

Also in the case of every man who shall eat and drink, And see good in all his labor, This is a gift of God.

I said in my heart, Concerning the speech of the sons of man, God will judge them, And that to show that they are beasts.

And I saw all labor, And all the diligent work, That this is a man’s envy from his neighbor. This is also vanity and waywardness of spirit.

There is one alone, and there is not a second; Yea, he has neither son nor brother: Yet there is no end to all his labor; Neither is his eye satisfied with wealth; And for whom do I labor, And deprive my soul of good? This is also vanity, And an evil trouble.

Also if two should lie together, they also get heat: But how shall one be warmed alone?

For he shall come forth out of the house of the prisoners to reign, Because he also that was in his kingdom has become poor.

There is no end to all the people, To all who were before them: And the last shall not rejoice in him: For this also is vanity and waywardness of spirit.

He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver: And who has loved gain, in the abundance thereof? This is also vanity.

And this is also an evil infirmity: For as he came, so also shall he return: And what is his gain, for which he vainly labors?

Yea, all his days are in darkness, and in mourning, And much sorrow, and infirmity, and wrath.

Yea, and as for every man to whom God has given Wealth and possessions, and has given him Power to eat thereof, and to receive his portion, And to rejoice in his labor; This is the gift of God.

If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, Yea, however abundant the days of his years shall be, Yet if his soul shall not be satisfied with good, And also he have no burial; I said, An untimely birth is better than he.

Moreover he has not seen the sun, nor known rest: There is no more rest to this one than another.

All the labor of a man is for his mouth, And yet the appetite shall not be satisfied.

The sight of the eyes is better than that which wanders in soul: This is also vanity, and waywardness of spirit.

As the sound of thorns under a caldron, So is the laughter of fools: This is also vanity.

In the day of prosperity live joyfully, And consider in the day of adversity: Consider, I say, God also has caused The one to agree with the other for this reason, That man should find nothing after him.

It is well for thee to hold fast by this; Also by this defile not thy hand: For to them that fear God all things shall come forth well.

Also take no heed To all the words which ungodly men shall speak; Lest thou hear thy servant cursing thee.

For many times he shall trespass against thee, And repeatedly shall he afflict thy heart; For thus also hast thou cursed others.

And then I saw the ungodly carried into the tombs, And that out of the holy place: And they departed, and were praised in the city, Because they had done thus: This also is vanity.

He that has sinned has done evil from that time, And long from beforehand: Nevertheless I know, That it is well with them that fear God, That they may fear before him:

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; That there are righteous persons to whom it happens According to the doing of the ungodly; And there are ungodly men, to whom it happens According to the doing of the just: I said, This is also vanity.

Whereupon I set my heart to know wisdom, And to perceive the trouble That was wrought upon the earth: For there is that neither by day nor night Sees sleep with his eyes.

And I beheld all the works of God, That a man shall not be able to discover The work which is wrought under the sun; Whatsoever things a man shall endeavor to seek, However a man may labor to seek it, Yet he shall not find it; Yea, how much soever a wise man may speak of knowing it, He shall not be able to find it: For I applied all this to my heart, And my heart has seen all this.

I saw that the righteous, and the wise, And their works, are in the hand of God: Yea, there is no man that knows either love or hatred, Though all are before their face.

There is this evil in all that is done under the sun, That there is one event to all: Yea, the heart of the sons of men is filled with evil, And madness is in their heart during their life, And after that they go to the dead.

Also their love, and their hatred, And their envy, have now perished; Yea, there is no portion for them anymore forever In all that is done under the sun.
