Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding; For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law. When I was my father’s son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother, He also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live. — Proverbs 4:1-4 NKJV

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so. Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it,” When you have it with you. Do not devise evil against your neighbor, For he dwells by you for safety’s sake. Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm. Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways; For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, But His secret counsel is with the upright. The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just. Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble. The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools. — Proverbs 3:27-35 NKJV

BE HAPPY!

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her. ; — Proverbs 3:13-18 NKJV

2025-09-10T04:23:59Z

For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice, And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding, Passing along the street near her corner; And he took the path to her house In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night. And there a woman met him, With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart. She was loud and rebellious, Her feet would not stay at home. At times she was outside, at times in the open square, Lurking at every corner. So she caught him and kissed him; With an impudent face she said to him: “I have peace offerings with me; Today I have paid my vows. So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you. I have spread my bed with tapestry, Colored coverings of Egyptian linen. I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love. For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey; He has taken a bag of money with him, And will come home on the appointed day.” With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him. Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it would cost his life. Now therefore, listen to me, my children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth: Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths; For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong men. Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death. — Proverbs 7:6-27 NKJV

My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” And call understanding your nearest kin, That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words. — Proverbs 7:1-5 NKJV

2025-09-05T16:30:19Z

My son, keep your father’s command, And do not forsake the law of your mother. Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck. When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you. For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress. Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids. For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life. Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared? So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent. People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving. Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his house. Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul. Wounds and dishonor he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped away. For jealousy is a husband’s fury; Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will accept no recompense, Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts. — Proverbs 6:20-35 NKJV

A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth; He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers; Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord. Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy. These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren. — Proverbs 6:12-19 NKJV

Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids. Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, And like a bird from the hand of the fowler. Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep— So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man. — Proverbs 6:4-11 NKJV

2025-07-01T04:12:59Z

My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to my understanding, That you may preserve discretion, And your lips may keep knowledge. For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell. Lest you ponder her path of life— Her ways are unstable; You do not know them. Therefore hear me now, my children, And do not depart from the words of my mouth. Remove your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house, Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one; Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your labors go to the house of a foreigner; And you mourn at last, When your flesh and your body are consumed, And say: “How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised correction! I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me! I was on the verge of total ruin, In the midst of the assembly and congregation.” Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well. Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets? Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth. As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love. For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress? For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths. His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is caught in the cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. — Proverbs 5:1-23 NKJV

My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you, So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,
And find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path. When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you;
Understanding will keep you, To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things, From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked,
And who are devious in their paths; To deliver you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words, Who forsakes the companion of her youth,
And forgets the covenant of her God. For her house leads down to death,
And her paths to the dead; None who go to her return,
Nor do they regain the paths of life— So you may walk in the way of goodness,
And keep to the paths of righteousness. For the upright will dwell in the land,
And the blameless will remain in it; But the wicked will be cut off from the earth,
And the unfaithful will be uprooted from it. — Proverbs 2:1-22 NKJV

Wisdom calls aloud outside;
She raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses,
At the openings of the gates in the city
She speaks her words: “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge. Turn at my rebuke;
Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you. Because I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, Because you disdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes, When your terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you. “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the LORD, They would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies. For the turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them; But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,
And will be secure, without fear of evil.” — Proverbs 1:20-33 NKJV

And do not forsake the law of your mother; For they will be a graceful ornament on your head,
And chains about your neck. My son, if sinners entice you,
Do not consent. If they say, “Come with us,
Let us lie in wait to shed blood;
Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
And whole, like those who go down to the Pit; We shall find all kinds of precious possessions,
We shall fill our houses with spoil; Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”— My son, do not walk in the way with them,
Keep your foot from their path; For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood. Surely, in vain the net is spread
In the sight of any bird; But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives. So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners. — Proverbs 1:8-19 NKJV

And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright—words of truth. The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil. — Ecclesiastes 12:9-14 NKJV

And the strong men bow down;
When the grinders cease because they are few,
And those that look through the windows grow dim; When the doors are shut in the streets,
And the sound of grinding is low;
When one rises up at the sound of a bird,
And all the daughters of music are brought low. Also they are afraid of height,
And of terrors in the way;
When the almond tree blossoms,
The grasshopper is a burden,
And desire fails.
For man goes to his eternal home,
And the mourners go about the streets. Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed,
Or the golden bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,
Or the wheel broken at the well. Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
And the spirit will return to God who gave it. “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher,
“All is vanity.” — Ecclesiastes 12:1-8 NKJV

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,
And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth;
Walk in the ways of your heart,
And in the sight of your eyes;
But know that for all these
God will bring you into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
And put away evil from your flesh,
For childhood and youth are vanity. — Ecclesiastes 11:9-10 NKJV

Cast your bread upon the waters,
For you will find it after many days. Give a serving to seven, and also to eight,
For you do not know what evil will be on the earth. If the clouds are full of rain,
They empty themselves upon the earth;
And if a tree falls to the south or the north,
In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie. He who observes the wind will not sow,
And he who regards the clouds will not reap. As you do not know what is the way of the wind,
Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything. In the morning sow your seed,
And in the evening do not withhold your hand;
For you do not know which will prosper,
Either this or that,
Or whether both alike will be good. Truly the light is sweet,
And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun; But if a man lives many years
And rejoices in them all,
Yet let him remember the days of darkness,
For they will be many.
All that is coming is vanity. — Ecclesiastes 11:1-8 NKJV

2025-03-26T21:41:00Z

Dead flies putrefy the perfumer’s ointment,
And cause it to give off a foul odor;
So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor. A wise man’s heart is at his right hand,
But a fool’s heart at his left. Even when a fool walks along the way,
He lacks wisdom,
And he shows everyone that he is a fool. If the spirit of the ruler rises against you,
Do not leave your post;
For conciliation pacifies great offenses. There is an evil I have seen under the sun,
As an error proceeding from the ruler: Folly is set in great dignity,
While the rich sit in a lowly place. I have seen servants on horses,
While princes walk on the ground like servants. He who digs a pit will fall into it,
And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent. He who quarries stones may be hurt by them,
And he who splits wood may be endangered by it. If the ax is dull,
And one does not sharpen the edge,
Then he must use more strength;
But wisdom brings success. A serpent may bite when it is not charmed;
The babbler is no different. The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious,
But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up; The words of his mouth begin with foolishness,
And the end of his talk is raving madness. A fool also multiplies words.
No man knows what is to be;
Who can tell him what will be after him? The labor of fools wearies them,
For they do not even know how to go to the city! Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,
And your princes feast in the morning! Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles,
And your princes feast at the proper time—
For strength and not for drunkenness! Because of laziness the building decays,
And through idleness of hands the house leaks. A feast is made for laughter,
And wine makes merry;
But money answers everything. Do not curse the king, even in your thought;
Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom;
For a bird of the air may carry your voice,
And a bird in flight may tell the matter. — Ecclesiastes 10:1-20 NKJV

2025-03-23T15:16:00Z

This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me: There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man. Then I said:

“Wisdom is better than strength.
Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised,
And his words are not heard. Words of the wise, spoken quietly, should be heard
Rather than the shout of a ruler of fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war;
But one sinner destroys much good.” — Ecclesiastes 9:13-18 NKJV

2025-03-23T03:45:19Z

For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything they see before them. All things come alike to all:

One event happens to the righteous and the wicked;
To the good, the clean, and the unclean;
To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice.
As is the good, so is the sinner;
He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath. This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they will die;
But the dead know nothing,
And they have no more reward,
For the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;
Nevermore will they have a share
In anything done under the sun. Go, eat your bread with joy,
And drink your wine with a merry heart;
For God has already accepted your works. Let your garments always be white,
And let your head lack no oil. Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. I returned and saw under the sun that—

The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all. For man also does not know his time:
Like fish taken in a cruel net,
Like birds caught in a snare,
So the sons of men are snared in an evil time,
When it falls suddenly upon them. — Ecclesiastes 9:1-12 NKJV

2025-03-21T03:58:38Z

Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity. Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God. There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun. When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night, then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it. — Ecclesiastes 8:10-17 NKJV

I say, “Keep the king’s commandment for the sake of your oath to God. “Do not be hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand for an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him.” Where the word of a king is, there is power;
And who may say to him, “What are you doing?” He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful;
And a wise man’s heart discerns both time and judgment, Because for every matter there is a time and judgment,
Though the misery of man increases greatly. For he does not know what will happen;
So who can tell him when it will occur? No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit,
And no one has power in the day of death.
There is no release from that war,
And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it. All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt. — Ecclesiastes 8:2-9 NKJV

2025-03-15T16:37:50Z

A good name is better than precious ointment,
And the day of death than the day of one’s birth; Better to go to the house of mourning
Than to go to the house of feasting,
For that is the end of all men;
And the living will take it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter,
For by a sad countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise
Than for a man to hear the song of fools. For like the crackling of thorns under a pot,
So is the laughter of the fool.
This also is vanity. Surely oppression destroys a wise man’s reason,
And a bribe debases the heart. The end of a thing is better than its beginning;
The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry,
For anger rests in the bosom of fools. Do not say,
“Why were the former days better than these?”
For you do not inquire wisely concerning this. Wisdom is good with an inheritance,
And profitable to those who see the sun. For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense,
But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it. Consider the work of God;
For who can make straight what He has made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful,
But in the day of adversity consider:
Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other,
So that man can find out nothing that will come after him. I have seen everything in my days of vanity:

There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness. Do not be overly righteous,
Nor be overly wise:
Why should you destroy yourself? Do not be overly wicked,
Nor be foolish:
Why should you die before your time? It is good that you grasp this,
And also not remove your hand from the other;
For he who fears God will escape them all. Wisdom strengthens the wise
More than ten rulers of the city. For there is not a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin. Also do not take to heart everything people say,
Lest you hear your servant cursing you. For many times, also, your own heart has known
That even you have cursed others. All this I have proved by wisdom.
I said, “I will be wise”;
But it was far from me. As for that which is far off and exceedingly deep,
Who can find it out? I applied my heart to know,
To search and seek out wisdom and the reason of things,
To know the wickedness of folly,
Even of foolishness and madness. And I find more bitter than death
The woman whose heart is snares and nets,
Whose hands are fetters.
He who pleases God shall escape from her,
But the sinner shall be trapped by her. “Here is what I have found,” says the Preacher,
“Adding one thing to the other to find out the reason, Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find:
One man among a thousand I have found,
But a woman among all these I have not found. Truly, this only I have found:
That God made man upright,
But they have sought out many schemes.” — Ecclesiastes 7:1-29 NKJV

2025-02-28T20:16:08Z

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: A man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor, so that he lacks nothing for himself of all he desires; yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner consumes it. This is vanity, and it is an evil affliction. If a man begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with goodness, or indeed he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he— for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness. Though it has not seen the sun or known anything, this has more rest than that man, even if he lives a thousand years twice—but has not seen goodness. Do not all go to one place? All the labor of man is for his mouth,
And yet the soul is not satisfied. For what more has the wise man than the fool?
What does the poor man have,
Who knows how to walk before the living? Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire.
This also is vanity and grasping for the wind. Whatever one is, he has been named already,
For it is known that he is man;
And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he. Since there are many things that increase vanity,
How is man the better? For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he passes like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun? — Ecclesiastes 6:1-12 NKJV

2025-02-28T01:23:06Z

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them. Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field. He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity. When goods increase,
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes? The sleep of a laboring man is sweet,
Whether he eats little or much;
But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep. There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun:
Riches kept for their owner to his hurt. But those riches perish through misfortune;
When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand. As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return,
To go as he came;
And he shall take nothing from his labor
Which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a severe evil—
Just exactly as he came, so shall he go.
And what profit has he who has labored for the wind? All his days he also eats in darkness,
And he has much sorrow and sickness and anger. Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage. As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart. — Ecclesiastes 5:8-20 NKJV

Cumple lo que prometes. Mejor es que no prometas, y no que prometas y no cumplas. No dejes que tu boca te haga pecar, ni digas delante del ángel, que fue ignorancia. ¿Por qué harás que Dios se enoje a causa de tu voz, y que destruya la obra de tus manos? Donde abundan los sueños, también abundan las vanidades y las muchas palabras; mas tú, teme a Dios. — Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 RVR60

Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil. Do not be rash with your mouth,
And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
Therefore let your words be few. For a dream comes through much activity,
And a fool’s voice is known by his many words. When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed— Better not to vow than to vow and not pay. Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands? For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God. — Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 NKJV

Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity. All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust. Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth? So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him? — Ecclesiastes 3:16-22 NKJV

Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them.
I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure,
For my heart rejoiced in all my labor;
And this was my reward from all my labor. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done
And on the labor in which I had toiled;
And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind.
There was no profit under the sun. — Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 NKJV

I made my works great, I built myself houses, and planted myself vineyards. I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. I made myself water pools from which to water the growing trees of the grove. I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me. I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds. So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me. — Ecclesiastes 2:4-9 NKJV

I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure”; but surely, this also was vanity. I said of laughter—“Madness!”; and of mirth, “What does it accomplish?” I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives. — Ecclesiastes 2:1-3 NKJV

What is crooked cannot be made straight,
And what is lacking cannot be numbered. I communed with my heart, saying, “Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge.” And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind. For in much wisdom is much grief,
And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow. — Ecclesiastes 1:15-18 NKJV

All things are full of labor;
Man cannot express it.
The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor the ear filled with hearing. That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us. There is no remembrance of former things,
Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
By those who will come after. — Ecclesiastes 1:8-11 NKJV

Apologies for the missed daily posts.
These are the last verses of Proverbs. Solomons wisdom in Ecclesiastes to follow.

Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants. She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night. She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet. She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants. Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her: “Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates. — Proverbs 31:10-31 NKJV

Palabras del rey Lemuel; la profecía con que le enseñó su madre. ¿Qué, hijo mío? ¿y qué, hijo de mi vientre? ¿Y qué, hijo de mis deseos? No des a las mujeres tu fuerza, Ni tus caminos a lo que destruye a los reyes. No es de los reyes, oh Lemuel, no es de los reyes beber vino, Ni de los príncipes la sidra; No sea que bebiendo olviden la ley, Y perviertan el derecho de todos los afligidos. Dad la sidra al desfallecido, Y el vino a los de amargado ánimo. Beban, y olvídense de su necesidad, Y de su miseria no se acuerden más. Abre tu boca por el mudo En el juicio de todos los desvalidos. Abre tu boca, juzga con justicia, Y defiende la causa del pobre y del menesteroso. — Proverbs 31:1-9 RVR60

The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him: What, my son?
And what, son of my womb?
And what, son of my vows? Do not give your strength to women,
Nor your ways to that which destroys kings. It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink; Lest they drink and forget the law,
And pervert the justice of all the afflicted. Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart. Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his misery no more. Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy. — Proverbs 31:1-9 NKJV

Yet they all advance in ranks; The spider skillfully grasps with its hands,

And whose fangs are like knives,
To devour the poor from off the earth,

Nor have knowledge of the Holy One. Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
