Löydetty 4188 Tulokset: God
It is wise to hold on to one and not let go of the other, since the godfearing will find both. (Ecclesiastes 7, 18)
And I find woman more bitter than Death, she is a snare, her heart is a net, and her arms are chains. The man who is pleasing to God eludes her, but the sinner is captured by her. (Ecclesiastes 7, 26)
This alone is my conclusion: God has created man straightforward, and human artifices are human inventions. (Ecclesiastes 7, 29)
The sinner who does wrong a hundred times lives on. But this too I know, that there is good in store for people who fear God, because they fear him, (Ecclesiastes 8, 12)
but there is no good in store for the wicked because he does not fear God, and so, like a shadow, he will not prolong his days. (Ecclesiastes 8, 13)
And therefore I praise joy, since human happiness lies only in eating and drinking and in taking pleasure; this comes from what someone achieves during the days of life that God gives under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 8, 15)
I have scrutinised God's whole creation: you cannot get to the bottom of everything taking place under the sun; you may wear yourself out in the search, but you will never find it. Not even a sage can get to the bottom of it, even if he says that he has done so. (Ecclesiastes 8, 17)
Yes, I have applied myself to all this and experienced all this to be so: that is to say, that the upright and the wise, with their activities, are in the hands of God. We do not understand either love or hate, where we are concerned, both of them are futile. And for all of us is reserved a common fate, for the upright and for the wicked, for the food and for the bad; whether we are ritually pure or not, whether we offer sacrifice or not: it is the same for the good and for the sinner, for someone who takes a vow, as for someone who fears to do so. (Ecclesiastes 9, 1)
So, eat your bread in joy, drink your wine with a glad heart, since God has already approved your actions. (Ecclesiastes 9, 7)
Spend your life with the woman you love, all the days of futile life God gives you under the sun, throughout your futile days, since this is your lot in life and in the effort you expend under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 9, 9)
You do not understand how the wind blows, or how the embryo grows in a woman's womb: no more can you understand the work of God, the Creator of all. (Ecclesiastes 11, 5)
Young man, enjoy yourself while you are young, make the most of the days of your youth, follow the prompting and desire of heart and eye, but remember, God will call you to account for everything. (Ecclesiastes 11, 9)
