Populiarios Biblijos eilutės iš Ecclesiastes 9

Dalintis

Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, because there is neither work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the grave, the place where you will eventually go.

Again, I observed this on the earth: the race is not always won by the swiftest, the battle is not always won by the strongest; prosperity does not always belong to those who are the wisest, wealth does not always belong to those who are the most discerning, nor does success always come to those with the most knowledge – for time and chance may overcome them all.

Enjoy life with your beloved wife during all the days of your fleeting life that God has given you on earth during all your fleeting days; for that is your reward in life and in your burdensome work on earth.

Go, eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, because God has already approved your works.

Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner can destroy much that is good.

The words of the wise are heard in quiet, more than the shouting of a ruler is heard among fools.

For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything; they have no further reward – and even the memory of them disappears.
