- And where a single man can be overcome,
two together will be able to resist.
A cord with three strands is not easily broken. - And if one should fall,
his companion will help him up.
How pathetic is the man who is alone and falls
and has no one to assist him to his feet. - For everything there is a season,
and a time for every activity under heaven. - One who is covetous will never be satisfied with money,
nor will the lover of wealth be content with gain.
This too is vanity. - Do not assert that the past was better than the present,
for such a statement is not a sign of wisdom. - Two are better than one:
they earn a far greater reward for their toil. - Just as you do not know the path of the wind
or how the body is formed in a woman’s womb,
so you do not know the work of God,
the Creator of all. - Go forth, then. Eat your bread with joy and drink your wine with a cheerful heart, for God long ago approved what you do.
- Banish grief from your heart
and ignore the sufferings of your body,
for youth and the prime of life are fleeting. - He has made everything suitable for its time, and he has given men a sense of past and future, but they never have the slightest comprehension of what God has wrought from beginning to end.
