Ecclesiastes

{Some of my favorite verses from my favorite book,
compiled with some random pics
that I took on my lunch break...}

What profit hath a man of all his labor which he taketh under the sun?



To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;...
3:1-


He hath made everything beautiful in his time:
3:11

I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it that men should fear before him.
3:14

All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
3:20


Two men are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
4:9-10


Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God;...let thy words be few...and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
5:2-3

For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
6:12


A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
Sorrow is better than laughter: for by sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
7: 1&3

Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
7:13


Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might:
9: 10

the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong,
9:11b

Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
9: 18


Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days.
11:1

As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
11:5

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth,
12:1a

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
12:13
