Löydetty 1507 Tulokset: Long Life
Naked he came, when he left his mother’s womb, and naked still death finds him; nothing to show for all his long endeavour. (Ecclesiastes 5, 14)
all his life long the cheerless board, the multitudinous cares, the concern, the melancholy! (Ecclesiastes 5, 16)
Better far, by my way of it, that a man should eat and drink and enjoy the revenues of his own labour, here under the sun, as long as God gives him life; what more can he claim? (Ecclesiastes 5, 17)
Few be his days or many, he regards little, so long as God gives his heart content. (Ecclesiastes 5, 19)
What need for man to ask questions that are beyond his scope? There is no knowing how best his life should be spent, this brief pilgrimage that passes like a shadow, and is gone. And what will befall after his death, in this world beneath the sun, who can tell? (Ecclesiastes 7, 1)
Loud but not long the thorns crackle under the pot, and fools make merry; for them, too, frustration. (Ecclesiastes 7, 7)
Wealth befriends whom wisdom befriends; better still, who learns wisdom wins life. (Ecclesiastes 7, 13)
In my days of baffled enquiry, I have seen pious men ruined for all their piety, and evil-doers live long in all their wickedness. (Ecclesiastes 7, 16)
The breath of life man must resign at last; the day of his death he cannot determine; nor ever does war give release from service, nor sin discharge to the sinner. (Ecclesiastes 8, 8)
Another kind of frustration, too, earth sees; there are upright men that are plagued as though they lived the life sinners live, just as there are sinners who take no more harm than if they could plead innocence; I say this is frustration indeed. (Ecclesiastes 8, 14)
For me, then, mirth! No higher blessing could man attain, here under the sun, than to eat and drink and make merry; nothing else had he to show for all those labours of his, for all that life-time God has given him, here under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 8, 15)
live at ease with the wife that is thy heart’s love, long as this uncertain life is granted thee; fugitive days, here beneath the sun. Live thou and labour thou under the sun as thou wilt, this thy portion shall be, and nothing more. (Ecclesiastes 9, 9)
