Caravans turn away from their routes,

go up into the desert, and perish.

He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine;

his shoots spread out over his garden.

The one who is at ease holds calamity in contempt

and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.

Will you frighten a wind-driven leaf?

Will you chase after dry straw?

My eyes have grown dim from grief,

and my whole body has become but a shadow.

Though evil tastes sweet in his mouth

and he conceals it under his tongue,

Yet another person dies with a bitter soul,

having never tasted prosperity.

They plucked mallow[fn] among the shrubs,

and the roots of the broom tree were their food.

They bray among the shrubs;

they huddle beneath the thistles.

I have not allowed my mouth to sin

by asking for his life with a curse.

They die in their youth;

their life ends among male cult prostitutes.

The wild animals enter their lairs

and stay in their dens.

He is the foremost of God's works;

only his Maker can draw the sword against him.

He lies under the lotus plants,

hiding in the protection[fn] of marshy reeds.

He has no equal on earth —

a creature devoid of fear!

Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth;

trouble and malice are under his tongue.

All have turned away;

all alike have become corrupt.

There is no one who does good,

not even one.

He bent the heavens and came down,

total darkness beneath his feet.

I crush them, and they cannot get up;

they fall beneath my feet.

He subdues peoples under us

and nations under our feet.

I cried out to him with my mouth,

and praise was on my tongue.

Rise up, God, champion your cause!

Remember the insults

that fools bring against you all day long.

He will cover you with his feathers;

you will take refuge under his wings.

His faithfulness will be a protective shield.

Their enemies oppressed them,

and they were subdued under their power.

Let the redeemed of the LORD proclaim

that he has redeemed them from the power of the foe

They make their tongues

as sharp as a snake's bite;

viper's venom is under their lips.Selah

None return who go to her;

none reach the paths of life.

Without leader, administrator, or ruler,

A man is praised for his insight,

but a twisted mind is despised.

A wise person's instruction is a fountain of life,

turning people away from the snares of death.

Discipline is harsh for the one who leaves the path;

the one who hates correction will die.

The LORD is far from the wicked,

but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

An offended brother is harder to reach[fn]

than a fortified city,

and quarrels are like the bars of a fortress.

The mouth of the forbidden woman is a deep pit;

a man cursed by the LORD will fall into it.

If you have nothing with which to pay,

even your bed will be taken from under you.

In the end it bites like a snake

and stings like a viper.

Oil and incense bring joy to the heart,

and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel.[fn]

The words of King Lemuel,

a pronouncement[fn] that his mother taught him:

What does a person gain for all his efforts

that he labors at under the sun?

What has been is what will be,

and what has been done is what will be done;

there is nothing new under the sun.

I applied my mind to examine and explore through wisdom all that is done under heaven. God has given people[fn] this miserable task to keep them occupied.

I explored with my mind the pull of wine on my body ​— ​my mind still guiding me with wisdom — and how to grasp folly, until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven[fn] during the few days of their lives.

When I considered all that I had accomplished[fn] and what I had labored to achieve, I found everything to be futile and a pursuit of the wind.[fn] There was nothing to be gained under the sun.

Therefore, I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

For what does a person get with all his work and all his efforts that he labors at under the sun?

There is an occasion for everything,

and a time for every activity under heaven:

I also observed under the sun: there is wickedness at the place of judgment and there is wickedness at the place of righteousness.

Again, I observed all the acts of oppression being done under the sun. Look at the tears of those who are oppressed; they have no one to comfort them. Power is with those who oppress them; they have no one to comfort them.

But better than either of them is the one who has not yet existed, who has not seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.

Again, I saw futility under the sun:

I saw all the living, who move about under the sun, follow[fn] a second youth who succeeds him.

There is a sickening tragedy I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.

Here is what I have seen to be good: It is appropriate to eat, drink, and experience good in all the labor one does under the sun during the few days of his life God has given him, because that is his reward.

Here is a tragedy I have observed under the sun, and it weighs heavily on humanity:[fn]

For who knows what is good for anyone in life, in the few days of his futile life that he spends like a shadow? Who can tell anyone what will happen after him under the sun?

for like the crackling of burning thorns under the pot,

so is the laughter of the fool.

This too is futile.

All this I have seen, applying my mind to all the work that is done under the sun, at a time when one person has authority over another to his harm.

So I commended enjoyment because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat, drink, and enjoy himself, for this will accompany him in his labor during the days of his life that God gives him under the sun.

I observed all the work of God and concluded that a person is unable to discover the work that is done under the sun. Even though a person labors hard to explore it, he cannot find it; even if a wise person claims to know it, he is unable to discover it.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: there is one fate for everyone. In addition, the hearts of people are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live; after that they go to the dead.

Their love, their hate, and their envy have already disappeared, and there is no longer a portion for them in all that is done under the sun.

Enjoy life with the wife you love all the days of your fleeting[fn] life, which has been given to you under the sun, all your fleeting days. For that is your portion in life and in your struggle under the sun.

Again I saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, or the battle to the strong, or bread to the wise, or riches to the discerning, or favor to the skillful; rather, time and chance happen to all of them.

I have observed that this also is wisdom under the sun, and it is significant to me:

There is an evil I have seen under the sun, an error proceeding from the presence of the ruler:

May his left hand be under my head,

and his right arm embrace me.

Your lips drip sweetness like the honeycomb, my bride.

Honey and milk are under your tongue.

The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

May his left hand be under my head,

and his right arm embrace me.

Who is this coming up from the wilderness,

leaning on the one she loves?

I awakened you under the apricot tree.

There your mother conceived you;

there she conceived and gave you birth.

Your land is desolate,

your cities burned down;

foreigners devour your fields

right in front of you —

a desolation, like a place demolished by foreigners.

A man will even seize his brother

in his father's house, saying,

“You have a cloak ​— ​you be our leader!

This heap of rubble will be under your control.”

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw

and as dry grass shrivels in the flame,

so their roots will become like something rotten

and their blossoms will blow away like dust,

for they have rejected

the instruction of the LORD of Armies,

and they have despised

the word of the Holy One of Israel.

When it became known to the house of David that Aram had occupied Ephraim, the heart of Ahaz[fn] and the hearts of his people trembled like trees of a forest shaking in the wind.

For wickedness burns like a fire

that consumes thorns and briers

and kindles the forest thickets

so that they go up in a column of smoke.

And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms,

the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans,

will be like Sodom and Gomorrah

when God overthrew them.

In the year that the chief commander, sent by King Sargon of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it ​— ​

Whoever flees at the sound of panic

will fall into a pit,

and whoever escapes from the pit

will be caught in a trap.

For the floodgates on high are opened,

and the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Without asking my advice

they set out to go down to Egypt

in order to seek shelter under Pharaoh's protection

and take refuge in Egypt's shadow.

Indeed! Topheth has been ready

for the king for a long time.

Its funeral pyre is deep and wide,

with plenty of fire and wood.

The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur,

kindles it.

Israel will be saved by the LORD

with an everlasting salvation;

you will not be put to shame or humiliated

for all eternity.

He made my words like a sharp sword;

he hid me in the shadow of his hand.

He made me like a sharpened arrow;

he hid me in his quiver.

This is what the LORD,

the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, says

to one who is despised,

to one abhorred by people,[fn]

to a servant of rulers:

“Kings will see, princes will stand up,

and they[fn] will all bow down

because of the LORD, who is faithful,

the Holy One of Israel ​— ​and he has chosen you.”

For moths will devour them like a garment,

and worms will eat them like wool.

But my righteousness will last forever,

and my salvation for all generations.

And the ransomed of the LORD will return

and come to Zion with singing,

crowned with unending joy.

Joy and gladness will overtake them,

and sorrow and sighing will flee.

I have put my words in your mouth,

and covered you in the shadow of my hand,

in order to plant[fn] the heavens,

to found the earth,

and to say to Zion, “You are my people.”

who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every green tree,

who slaughter children in the wadis

below the clefts of the rocks?

Their descendants will be known among the nations,

and their posterity among the peoples.

All who see them will recognize

that they are a people the LORD has blessed.

And they will be called[fn] the Holy People,

the LORD's Redeemed;

and you will be called Cared For,

A City Not Deserted.

“They will not labor without success

or bear children destined for disaster,

for they will be a people blessed by the LORD

along with their descendants.

For the LORD will execute judgment

on all humanity with his fiery sword,

and many will be slain by the LORD.

I will scatter you[fn] like drifting chaff

before the desert wind.

Your words were found, and I ate them.

Your words became a delight to me

and the joy of my heart,

for I bear your name,

LORD God of Armies.

Those slain by the LORD on that day will be scattered from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like manure on the soil's surface.

“ ‘ “As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and does not place its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish by sword, famine, and plague ​— ​this is the LORD's declaration ​— ​until through him I have destroyed it.

“But as for the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave it in its own land, and that nation will cultivate[fn] it and reside in it. This is the LORD's declaration.” ' ”

Crushing all the prisoners of the land[fn]

beneath one's feet,

“I will plant it on Israel's high mountain

so that it may bear branches, produce fruit,

and become a majestic cedar.

Birds of every kind will nest under it,

taking shelter in the shade of its branches.

I will make you pass under the rod and will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

“They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies[fn][fn] they had lived in its shade among the nations.

“They do not lie down

with the fallen warriors of the uncircumcised,[fn]

who went down to Sheol

with their weapons of war,

whose swords were placed under their heads[fn]

and their shields[fn]

rested on their bones,

although the terror of these warriors

was once in the land of the living.

“Yet my flock has to feed on what your feet have trampled, and drink what your feet have muddied.

therefore, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: Because they have made you desolate and have trampled you from every side, so that you became a possession for the rest of the nations and an object of people's gossip and slander,

“ ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: Because some are saying to you, “You devour people and deprive your nation of children,”

The days of punishment have come;

the days of retribution have come.

Let Israel recognize it!

The prophet is a fool,

and the inspired man is insane,

because of the magnitude

of your iniquity and hostility.

The people will return and live beneath his shade.

They will grow grain

and blossom like the vine.

His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

And the LORD said, “You cared about the plant, which you did not labor over and did not grow. It appeared in a night and perished in a night.

For I will then restore

pure speech to the peoples

so that all of them may call

on the name of the LORD

and serve him with a single purpose.[fn]
