Chapter 9.

00:01.800 --> 00:05.880
For all this I considered in my heart,
even to declare all this, that the

00:05.880 --> 00:08.660
righteous and the wise and their works are
in the hand of God.

00:09.160 --> 00:12.280
No man knoweth either love or hatred by
all that is before them.

00:12.880 --> 00:14.300
All things come alike to all.

00:14.880 --> 00:18.760
There is one event to the righteous and to
the wicked, to the good and to the clean,

00:19.400 --> 00:23.740
and to the unclean, to him that
sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth

00:23.740 --> 00:24.080
not.

00:24.720 --> 00:26.420
As is the good, so is the sinner.

00:27.040 --> 00:31.720
And he that sweareth, as he that feareth
an oath, this is an evil among all things

00:31.720 --> 00:34.840
that are done under the sun, that there is
one event unto all.

00:35.560 --> 00:40.240
Yea, also the heart of the sons of men is
full of evil, and madness is in their

00:40.240 --> 00:42.840
heart while they live, and after that they
go to the dead.

00:43.440 --> 00:47.220
For to him that is joined to all the
living there is hope, for a living dog is

00:47.220 --> 00:48.200
better than a dead lion.

00:48.760 --> 00:52.140
For the living know that they shall die,
but the dead know not anything,

00:52.900 --> 00:56.260
neither have they any more a reward,
for the memory of them is forgotten.

00:57.220 --> 01:01.620
Also their love and their hatred and their
envy is now perished, neither have they

01:01.620 --> 01:05.160
any more a portion for ever in anything
that is done under the sun.

01:06.000 --> 01:10.740
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy,
and drink thy wine with a merry heart,

01:11.080 --> 01:13.180
for God now accepteth thy works.

01:13.940 --> 01:18.380
Let thy garments be always white,
and let thy head lack no ointment.

01:18.940 --> 01:22.400
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou
lovest all the days of the life of thy

01:22.400 --> 01:26.280
vanity, which he hath given thee under the
sun, all the days of thy vanity,

01:26.980 --> 01:28.820
for that is thy portion in this life.

01:29.020 --> 01:33.260
And in thy labour which thou takest under
the sun, whatsoever thy hand findeth to

01:33.260 --> 01:38.020
do, do it with thy might, for there is no
work, nor device, nor knowledge,

01:38.560 --> 01:40.880
nor wisdom in the grave whither thou
goest.

01:41.500 --> 01:46.180
I returned and saw under the sun that the
race is not to the swift, nor the battle

01:46.180 --> 01:50.540
to the strong, neither yet bread to the
wise, nor yet riches to men of

01:50.540 --> 01:55.260
understanding, nor yet favour to men of
skill, but time and chance happeneth to

01:55.260 --> 01:55.620
them all.

01:56.080 --> 02:00.140
For man also knoweth not his time,
as the fishes that are taken in an evil

02:00.140 --> 02:02.760
net, and as the birds that are caught in
the snare.

02:03.560 --> 02:08.320
So are the sons of men snared in an evil
time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

02:09.180 --> 02:13.540
This wisdom have I seen also under the
sun, and it seemed great unto me.

02:14.220 --> 02:18.340
There was a little city, and few men
within it, and there came a great king

02:18.340 --> 02:22.400
against it, and besieged it, and built
great bulwarks against it.

02:23.020 --> 02:27.600
Neither was found in it a poor wise man,
and he by his wisdom delivered the city.

02:27.960 --> 02:30.020
Yet no man remembered that same poor man.

02:30.840 --> 02:33.460
Then said I, wisdom is better than
strength.

02:34.320 --> 02:38.060
Nevertheless, the poor man's wisdom is
despised, and his words are not heard.

02:38.560 --> 02:42.840
The words of wise men are heard and quiet,
more than the cry of him that ruleth among

02:42.840 --> 02:43.360
fools.

02:44.000 --> 02:48.360
Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
but one sinner destroyeth much good.
