THE WORDS OF THE CONGREGATIONER
Words of the Congregationer: Son of David; Sovereign in Yeru Shalem. ² Vanity of vanities, says the Congregationer: Vanity of vanities; all is vanity. ³ What advantage has humanity of all the toil he toils under the sun? ⁴ Generation passes and generation comes; and the earth stands eternal: ⁵ also the sun rises and the sun goes and swallows to the place it rose: ⁶ the wind goes toward the south and turns around to the north - turning around and turning around: and the wind returns again according to its circuits: ⁷ all the wadies go into the sea; yet the sea is not full: from the place the wadies come, they return to go. ⁸ All words belabor; man cannot word it: neither the eye satisfies with seeing nor the ear fills with hearing. ⁹ What became, becomes; what was worked, is worked: and naught is new under the sun. ¹⁰ Is there any word whereof is said, See, this is new? It already became - eternally at our face. ¹¹ There is neither memorial of firsts; nor memorial of lasts with those to become afterward. ¹² I the Congregationer became sovereign over Yisra El in Yeru Shalem: ¹³ and I gave my heart to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all those worked under the heavens - this evil drudgery Elohim gave to the sons of humanity to be humbled therewith. ¹⁴ I saw all the works worked under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and gnawing of spirit. ¹⁵ The twisted cannot be straightened; and the lacking cannot be numbered. ¹⁶ I worded with my own heart, saying, I - behold, I greatened and increased more in wisdom than all at my face in Yeru Shalem; yes, my heart saw great wisdom and knowledge: ¹⁷ I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I perceived that this also is gnawing of spirit. ¹⁸ For in abundant wisdom is abundant vexation; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

⁴² And the days Shelomoh reigns in Yeru Shalem over all Yisra El, forty years. ⁴³ And Shelomoh lies down with his fathers entombed in the city of David his father: and Rechab Am his son reigns in his stead.

³⁰ And Shelomoh reigns in Yeru Shalem over all Yisra El forty years:

¹⁷ And the sons of Yisra El who settle in the cities of Yah Hudah, Rechab Am reigns over them. ¹⁸ And sovereign Rechab Am sends Hadoram who is over the vassal: and the sons of Yisra El stone him with stones and he dies. And sovereign Rechab Am strengthens himself to ascend to his chariot to flee to Yeru Shalem: ¹⁹ and Yisra El rebels against the house of David to this day.

⁷ and you also stand prophets to call for you at Yeru Shalem, saying, There is a sovereign in Yah Hudah: and now the sovereign hears these words: come now, and we counsel together.

⁹ I evangelize justness in the great congregation; behold, I restrain not my lips; O Yah Veh, you know.

¹² I the Congregationer became sovereign over Yisra El in Yeru Shalem:

²⁷ See, I found this, says the Congregationer, one by one, to find out the machinations;

⁸ Vanity of vanities! says the Congregationer: All is vanity. ⁹ And moreover, because the Congregationer was wiser, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he hearkened and probed and set in order abounding proverbs. ¹⁰ The Congregationer sought to find out words of delight; inscribed by the straight - words of truth.

¹ A MESSIANIC PROPHECY The Spirit of Adonay Yah Veh is on me; because Yah Veh anointed me to evangelize to the humble: he sent me to bind the brokenhearted; to call out liberty to the captives; and in opening, an opening to the bound:

² Rise, go to Nineveh, that great city; and call out to it the calling I word you.

⁵ and spared not the ancient cosmos; but guarded Noach the eighth - a preacher of justness; bringing in the cataclysm on the cosmos of the irreverent;

⁵ Behold, you give my days as a palm span; my transcience is as naught in front of you; verily all humanity is stationed in vanity. Selah. ⁶ Surely every man walks in an image; surely they roar in vain: he heaps and knows not who gathers.

⁹ Surely sons of humanity are vanity and sons of men a lie; they ascend in the balance - altogether vain. ¹⁰ Neither confide in oppression nor rob in vain; if your valuables flourish, set not your heart.

⁴ Humanity is likened to vanity; his days are as a passing shadow.

¹¹ Then I faced all the works my hands worked and on the toil I toiled to work; and behold, all is vanity and gnawing of spirit and there is no advantage under the sun.

¹⁵ And I said in my heart, As happens to the fool, happens even to me. Why then am I more enwisened? And I worded in my heart, that this also is vanity.

¹⁷ And I hated life; because the work worked under the sun is evil to me; for all is vanity and gnawing of spirit.

¹⁹ And who knows whether he be wise or fool? - and yet dominates over all the toil I toiled wherein I enwisened myself under the sun. This is also vanity.

²¹ For there is a human whose toil is in wisdom and in knowledge and in prosperity; yet he gives his allotment to a human who never toiled therein. This also is vanity and a great evil.

²³ For all his days are sorrows and his drudgery, vexation; yes, his heart lies not down in the night. This is also vanity.

²⁶ - giving humanity what is good at his face - wisdom and knowledge and cheerfulness; and to the sinner he gives drudgery, to gather and to heap, to give him the good at the face of Elohim. This also is vanity and gnawing of spirit.

¹⁹ For what happens to the sons of humanity happens to animals - even this happens to them; as this dies, thus that dies; yes, they all have one spirit; so that humanity has no advantage over an animal; for all is vanity.

⁴ And I see all the toil and all the prosperity of work; that for this man envies friend; this is also vanity and gnawing of spirit.

⁸ there is one; and there is no second: yes, he has neither son nor brother; yet he neither ends his toil nor satisfies his eye with riches: For whom toil I, that my soul lacks good? This is also vanity; yes, an evil drudgery.

¹⁶ There is no end of all the people - of all who became ere their face; and the final cheer not in him: surely this also is vanity and gnawing of spirit.

¹⁰ Neither is he who loves silver, satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with produce: this is also vanity.

¹¹ Abounding words abound vanity! What more is to humanity?

⁸ but if a human lives and abounds in years and cheers in them all; yet he remembers the days of darkness - and so be it. All that comes is vanity.

¹⁰ Turn vexation from your heart and pass evil from your flesh; for childhood and dawn are vanity.

⁸ Vanity of vanities! says the Congregationer: All is vanity.

²⁰ For the creature subjugated to vanity - not voluntarily but through him who subjugated in hope,

⁴ nor labor to enrich; cease from your own discernment. ⁵ Flit your eyes thereon; and it is not: for in working, they work wings; they fly away as an eagle toward the heavens.

²² For what has humanity of all his toil and of the gnawing of his heart wherein he toiled under the sun?

⁹ What advantage has he who works in that wherein he toils?

³ Yes, better is he than they both - who became not yet - who saw not the evil work worked under the sun.

⁷ And I return; and I see vanity under the sun:

¹⁶ And this also is an evil stroke: as he came, thus he goes; and what advantage has he who toiled for the spirit/wind?

¹⁸ Behold, what I saw! Good and beautiful to eat and to drink and to see the good of all the toil toiled under the sun the number of the days of life Elohim gives; for it is his allotment.

¹² For who knows what is good for humanity in life - the number of the days of his life of vanity which he works as a shadow? Who tells humanity what is after him under the sun?

¹¹ Wisdom is good with an inheritance; and more to them who see the sun:

¹⁵ And I lauded cheerfulness, because humanity has naught better under the sun than to eat and to drink and to cheer; to join with him of his toil the days of his life Elohim gives him under the sun. ¹⁶ When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the drudgery worked on the earth - for there are also those who, neither day nor night see sleep with their eyes. ¹⁷ Then I saw all the work of Elohim, that humanity cannot find out - the work worked under the sun; because though humanity toils to seek it out, yet he finds it not: yes, farther, though the wise says he knows, yet he is not able to find it.

³ This is an evil among all worked under the sun, one happening to all; and also, the heart of the sons of humanity is full of evil; and folly in their heart while they live: and after that - unto the dead.

⁶ Also their love, also their hatred, also their envy already destructed; they have no more an allotment eternal in aught worked under the sun.

¹³ This wisdom I also saw under the sun - great to me:

² Why weigh silver for what is not bread? And labor for what satisfies not? In hearkening, hearken to me, and eat what is good, that your soul delight itself in fatness.

¹³ Behold, is it not from Yah Veh Sabaoth that the nations labor for sufficient fire? And the people weary themselves for sufficient vanity?

¹⁸ What profit is the sculptile to the former who sculpts - or the molten, to a teacher of falsehoods, Confides the former of its form to work mute idols?

²⁶ for what is a human benefited whenever he gains the whole cosmos and loses his own soul? Or what gives a human in exchange for his soul?

³⁶ For what is a human benefited whenever he gains the whole cosmos and loses his own soul? ³⁷ Or what gives a human in exchange for his soul?

²⁷ Work not for the food that destructs; but for the food that abides to eternal life which the Son of humanity gives you: for Elohim the Father sealed him.

³ And Adam lives a hundred and thirty years and births in his own likeness and after his image; and calls his name Sheth: ⁴ and the days of Adam after he births Sheth are eight hundred years: and he births sons and daughters: ⁵ and all the days Adam lives - nine hundred years and thirty years: and he dies. ⁶ And Sheth lives a hundred years and five years and births Enos: ⁷ and after Sheth births Enos he lives eight hundred years and seven years and births sons and daughters: ⁸ and all the days of Sheth - nine hundred years and twelve years: and he dies. ⁹ And Enos lives ninety years and births Qeyan: ¹⁰ and after Enos births Qeyan he lives eight hundred years and fifteen years and births sons and daughters: ¹¹ and all the days of Enos - nine hundred years and five years: and he dies. ¹² And Qeyan lives seventy years and births Ma Halal El: ¹³ and after Qeyan births Ma Halal El he lives eight hundred years and forty years and births sons and daughters: ¹⁴ and all the days of Qeyan - nine hundred years and ten years: and he dies. ¹⁵ And Ma Halal El lives sixty years and five years and births Yered: ¹⁶ and after Ma Halal El births Yered he lives eight hundred years and thirty years and births sons and daughters: ¹⁷ and all the days of Ma Halal El - eight hundred years ninety-five years: and he dies. ¹⁸ And Yered lives a hundred sixty years and two years and he births Hanoch: ¹⁹ and after Yered births Hanoch he lives eight hundred years and births sons and daughters: ²⁰ and all the days of Yered - nine hundred years sixty-two years: and he dies. ²¹ And Hanoch lives sixty-five years and births Methusha Lach: ²² and after he births Methusha Lach Hanoch walks with Elohim three hundred years and births sons and daughters: ²³ and all the days of Hanoch - three hundred years sixty-five years: ²⁴ and Hanoch walks with Elohim: and he is not; for Elohim takes him. ²⁵ And Methusha Lach lives a hundred years eighty-seven years and births Lemech. ²⁶ And after Methusha Lach births Lemech he lives seven hundred years eighty-two years and births sons and daughters: ²⁷ and all the days of Methusha Lach - nine hundred years sixty-nine years: and he dies. ²⁸ And Lemech lives a hundred years eighty-two years and births a son: ²⁹ and he calls his name Noach, saying, This one sighs over us concerning our work and the scars of our hands, because of the soil Yah Veh cursed. ³⁰ And after Lemech births Noach he lives five hundred years ninety-five years and births sons and daughters: ³¹ and all the days of Lemech - seven hundred years seventy-seven years: and he dies.

⁹ And these are the generations of Esav the father of the Edomiy in mount Seir. ¹⁰ These are the names of the sons of Esav: Eli Phaz the son of Adah the woman of Esav, Reu El the son of Bosmath the woman of Esav. ¹¹ And the sons of Eli Phaz: Teman, Omar, Sepho and Gatam and Qenaz. ¹² And Timna is concubine to Eli Phaz the son of Esav; and she births Amaleq to Eli Phaz: these are the sons of Adah the woman of Esav. ¹³ And these are the sons of Reu El: Nachath and Zerach, Shammah and Mizzah - these are the sons of Bosmath the woman of Esav. ¹⁴ And these are the sons of Oholi Bamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Sibon the woman of Esav: and she births Yeush and Yalam and Qorach to Esav. ¹⁵ These are chiliarchs of the sons of Esav: the sons of Eli Phaz the firstbirth son of Esav: chiliarch Teman, chiliarch Omar, chiliarch Sepho, chiliarch Qenaz, : ¹⁶ chiliarch Qorach, chiliarch Gatam, chiliarch Amaleq: these are the chiliarchs of Eli Phaz in the land of Edom; - the sons of Adah. ¹⁷ And these are the sons of Reu El the son of Esav: chiliarch Nachath, chiliarch Zerach, chiliarch Shammah, chiliarch Mizzah: these are the chiliarchs of Reu El in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bosmath the woman of Esav. ¹⁸ And these are the sons of Oholi Bamah the woman of Esav: chiliarch Yeush, chiliarch Yalam, chiliarch Qorach: these are the chiliarchs of Oholi Bamah the daughter of Anah, the woman of Esav. ¹⁹ These are the sons of Esav - Edom and these are their chiliarchs.

⁹ And Yaaqov says to Paroh, The days of the years of my sojournings are a hundred years and thirty years: few and evil be the days of the years of my life: and reach not to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojournings.

⁶ And Yoseph and all his brothers and all that generation die: ⁷ and the sons of Yisra El bear fruit and teem and abound mighty mightily mightier; and they fill the land.

¹⁶ And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon and Qehath and Merari - and the years of the life of Levi - a hundred thirty-seven years. ¹⁷ The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimiy, according to their families. ¹⁸ And the sons of Qehath: Am Ram and Yishar and Hebron and Uzzi El - and the years of the life of Qehath - a hundred thirty-three years. ¹⁹ And the sons of Merari: Machli and Mushi - these are the families of Levi according to their generations. ²⁰ And Am Ram takes Yah Chebed his aunt to woman: and she births him Aharon and Mosheh - and the years of the life of Am Ram - a hundred and thirty-seven years. ²¹ And the sons of Yishar: Qorach and Nepheg and Zichri. ²² And the sons of Uzzi El: Misha El and El Saphan and Sithri. ²³ And Aharon takes Eli Sheba daughter of Ammi Nadab, sister of Nahshon, to woman: and she births him Nadab and Abi Hu, El Azar and Iy Thamar. ²⁴ And the sons of Qorachiy: Assir and El Qanah and Abi Asaph - these are the families of the Qorachiy. ²⁵ El Azar the son of Aharon takes of the daughters of Puti El to woman: and she births him Phinechas - these are the heads of the fathers of the Leviym according to their families. ²⁶ These are that Aharon and Mosheh to whom Yah Veh said, Bring the sons of Yisra El from the land of Misrayim by their hosts: ²⁷ these are they who worded to Paroh sovereign of Misrayim, to bring out the sons of Yisra El from Misrayim - these are that Mosheh and Aharon.

⁴⁷ Remember how transcient! Created you all sons of humanity in vain? ⁴⁸ What mighty lives and sees not death? - rescues his soul from the hand of sheol? Selah.

⁹ For all our days turn face in your fury; we finish off our years as a meditation: ¹⁰ the days of our years, seventy years; and if by might, eighty years; yet their pride is toil and mischief - quickly passed over and we fly away.

²⁴ I say, O my El, ascend me not midst my days; your years are generation to generation. ²⁵ At your face you founded the earth; and the heavens are the work of your hands: ²⁶ they - they destruct, and you stand; yes, they all wear out as clothes; as a robe you change them and changed they are; ²⁷ and you are the same and your years consummate not. ²⁸ The sons of your servants tabernacle and their seed establishes at your face.

⁵ who founded the establishments of the earth that they not totter eternally and eternally. ^{*see Hebrews 1:7-14}

⁹⁰ your trustworthiness generation to generation: you established the earth and it stands. ⁹¹ They stand this day according to your judgments; for all are your servants.

⁵ Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, live they eternally?

³⁵ the heavens and earth pass but my words never no way pass:

¹⁰
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
But the day of Yah Veh comes as a thief in the night; in which the heavens pass with a whir and the elements, being causticized, let loose; also the earth and the works therein burn. ¹¹ So all these, having let loose, what manner must you be in holy behavior and reverence; ¹² awaiting and hastening to the parousia of the day of Elohim, through which the heavens being on fire, are loosed; and the elements being causticized, melt down? ¹³ And we, according to his pre-evangelism, await the new heavens and a new earth, wherein justness dwells.

²² as all the days of the earth remain - seed and harvest and cold and heat and summer and winter and day and night shabbathize not.

¹³ And the sun stands still and the moon stays until the goyim avenge themselves on their enemies. Is not this inscribed in the scroll of the straight? So the sun stands still midst the heavens, and hastens to not go down about an integrious day. ¹⁴ And there became no day like that at the face of it or after it, that Yah Veh hearkened to the voice of a man: for Yah Veh fights for Yisra El.

⁴ Their line goes throughout all the earth and their utterances to the end of the world. In them he sets a tent for the sun: ⁵ and he, as a groom coming from his canopy; rejoices as the mighty to run the path. ⁶ His source is from the end of the heavens and his circuit to the ends thereof; and naught is hid from the heat.

¹
BOOK II To His Eminence; On Comprehension: For the sons of Qorach. As the hart yearns after the reservoirs of water, thus yearns my soul after you, O Elohim.

³⁶ his seed is eternal and his throne as the sun in front of me; ³⁷ - established eternally as the moon and as a trustworthy witness in the vapours. Selah.

¹⁹ He worked the moon for seasons; the sun knows his entry. ²⁰ You set darkness and it is night; wherein all the live beings of the forest creep: ²¹ the whelps roar after their prey and seek their food from El: ²² the sun rises; they gather themselves; they crouch in their habitations: ²³ humanity goes on to his deeds and to his service until the evening.

²⁰ Thus says Yah Veh: If you break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night so that there is no day and night in time;

¹¹ The sun and moon stand still in their residence: at the light, your arrows come - at the brilliance of your glittering spear.

⁹ From the chamber comes the hurricane; and cold from the scattering:

¹⁷ How your clothes heat when he rests the earth by the southerly?

²⁵ He says, and the stormy wind which lifts the waves stay:

²⁹ he raises the storm to hush and the waves hush:

⁵ As you know not the way of the wind/spirit, as bones in the belly of her that is full, even thus you know not the works of Elohim who works all.

⁴ And Yah Veh casts a great wind on the sea, and there is a great storm in the sea, so that the ship fabricates to be broken:

²⁴
BUILDING
So everyone - whoever hears my words and does them, I liken to a thoughtful man, who builds his house on a rock:

²⁷ and the rains descend and the streams come and the winds puff and dash on that house; and it falls: and mega is the downfall.

⁸ The Spirit puffs where he wills and you hear his voice; but know not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is everyone birthed of the Spirit.

¹³ And the southerly puffs gently; and thinking they empower their prothesis, loosing there, they sail close by Crete. ¹⁴
THE STORM ON THE WAY
But not much after a tempestuous wind called Euroclydon casts against it: ¹⁵ and the sailer is caught and cannot eye against the wind; and we give her up and are borne away.

¹⁰ and broke it up for my statute and set bars and doors; ¹¹ and said, Come to here, but add not: And set there the pomp of your waves?

⁶ You covered the abyss as a robe; the waters stand above the mountains; ⁷ from your rebuke they flee; from the voice of your thunder they hasten away: ⁸ they ascend by the mountains; they descend by the valleys to the place you founded for them. ⁹ You set a border that they neither pass over nor turn again to cover the earth:

⁵ my soul is satisfied as marrow and fat and my mouth halals with shouting lips:

²⁰ As sheol and abaddon are never satisfied; thus the eyes of humanity are never satisfied.

¹⁵ The horseleach has two daughters, Give! Give! These three are never satisfied; yes, four say not, Enough! ¹⁶ - sheol; the restrained womb; the earth not satiated with water; and the fire that says not, Enough!

¹ And I return and see all the oppressions worked under the sun; and behold, the tears of the oppressed who have no one to sigh; and the force of the hand of their oppressors who have no one to sigh. ² I laud the dead who already died more than the living who yet live. ³ Yes, better is he than they both - who became not yet - who saw not the evil work worked under the sun. ⁴ And I see all the toil and all the prosperity of work; that for this man envies friend; this is also vanity and gnawing of spirit.

¹⁰ Neither is he who loves silver, satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with produce: this is also vanity. ¹¹ When good abounds, they who eat abound by the myriads; and what prosperity is there to the masters - except seeing with their eyes?

²⁴ That which is far off and deep deep, who can find out? ²⁵ I turned my heart around to know and to explore and to seek out wisdom and the machinations and to know the wickedness of folly - even of folly and madness; ²⁶ and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is lairs and devoted and her hands as bands; whoever is good at the face of Elohim escapes from her; and the sinner is captured by her.

⁶ Blessed - they who famish and thirst after justness: for they are filled.

²⁸
THE INVITATION OF YAH SHUA TO REST
Come to me all you belabored and overburdened and I rest you:

²² For we know that all creation co-sighs and co-travails in pain until now: ²³ and not only they, but we also, who have the firstlings of the Spirit, even we also sigh among ourselves, awaiting the sonship - the redemption of our body.

¹⁶ They neither still famish nor still thirst; nor falls the sun on them, nor any scorch: ¹⁷ because the Lamb midst the throne shepherds them, and guides them to living fountains of waters: and Elohim wipes all tears from their eyes.

¹² And I turned my face to see wisdom and madness and folly: but what of the human who comes after the sovereign - when that which is, was already worked?

¹⁵ What became, already is; and what becomes, already became: and Elohim seeks what is pursued.

¹⁰ What became? its name is already called; and know that it is humanity: he is not able to plead his cause with him who is mightier than he.

¹⁰ Say not, How be it so, that the first days were better than these? for you asked not by wisdom concerning this.

¹⁹ behold, I work a new work! Now it sprouts; Know you not? I even set a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desolation:

²² How long go you about, O you apostate daughter? for Yah Veh creates newness in the earth; a female surrounds the mighty.

¹
PSEUDOPROPHETS AND PSEUDODOCTORS
And so be it also, pseudoprophets among the people - even as pseudodoctors become among you who surreptitiously introduce destructive heresies - even denying the Despotes who marketed them; and bring quick destruction on themselves.

¹
THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH
And I see the new heavens and a new earth: for the first heavens and the first earth passed away; and there is not still a sea.

⁵ And he sitting on the throne says, Behold, I make all new. And he words to me, Scribe: because these words are true and trustworthy.

¹² Cheer, and jump for joy! For vast is your reward in the the heavens: for thus they persecuted the prophets preceding you.

³⁰ and word, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been communicants with them in the blood of the prophets. ³¹ So you witness to yourselves that you are the sons of them who murdered the prophets: ³² and you - you fulfill/shalam the measure of your fathers.

²⁶ And exactly as it became in the days of Noach, so it also becomes in the days of the Son of humanity: ²⁷ they ate, they drank, they married, they married off until the day Noach entered the ark, and the cataclysm came and destroyed them all. ²⁸ Likewise also, so it became in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built: ²⁹ but the same day Lot came from Sedom fire and sulphur rained from the heavens and destroyed all. ³⁰ In like manner, it becomes in the day the Son of humanity is unveiled:

⁵¹ You hardnaped and noncircumcised in heart and ears, you ever oppose the Holy Spirit. As your fathers, also you.

¹⁴ For you, brothers, became mimickers of the ecclesiae of Elohim being in Yah Hudah - being in Messiah Yah Shua: for you also suffered in like manner by your own co-scions; even exactly as they have of the Yah Hudiym: ¹⁵ who slaughtered both Adonay Yah Shua and their own prophets and persecuted us; and they please not Elohim and are contrary to all humanity: ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the goyim to be saved - to fill full/shalam their sins alway: for the wrath arrives upon them to completion/shalom.

⁸ And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Mosheh, thus also these withstand the truth: humans of corrupt minds disapproved concerning the trust:

⁶ O you enemy, your parched areas consummate in perpetuity; and the cities you uprooted - their memorial destructs with them.

¹⁶ For there is no memorial of the wise more than of the fool eternally; that in the days to come, all is forgotten. And how die the wise? As the fool!

⁵ For the living know that they die; but the dead know naught: they have no more a hire; for their memorial is forgotten.

²² They bring forth, and tell us what happened: - the former, what they are, to set our heart on them, and know the latter end of them; or have us hear of the coming. ²³ Tell us what comes afterward, so that we know you are elohim: yes, well-please, or vilify, so that we look around and see it together. ²⁴ Behold, you are of naught, and your deeds a hissing: an abhorrence to him who chooses you. ²⁵ I waken from the north, and he comes; from the rising of the sun, he calls on my name: and he comes on prefects as morter, and as the former tramples mire. ²⁶ Who told from the beginning, so that we know? and from the face, so that we say, Just? Yes, there is no one who tells; yes, there is no one who hearkens; yes, there is no one who hears your sayings.

⁹ Behold, the former becomes, and the new I tell: ere they sprout, I have you hear of them.

THE WORDS OF THE CONGREGATIONER
Words of the Congregationer: Son of David; Sovereign in Yeru Shalem.

¹⁹ in the sweat of your nostrils, eat your bread, until you return to the soil; for thereof you were taken: for dust you are and to dust you return.

² The works of Yah Veh are great - sought by all who delight therein:

² - to hearken your ear to wisdom and spread your heart to discernment; ³ yes, if you call after discernment and give your voice for discerning; ⁴ if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures

⁷ the firstfruits, wisdom; chattelize wisdom: and with all your chattelizing chattelize discernment.

¹ He who seeks his own desire separates himself and quarrels with all evidence.

¹⁵ The heart of the discerning chattelizes knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

²⁶ My son, give me your heart so that your eyes guard my ways.

¹⁷ I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I perceived that this also is gnawing of spirit.

¹⁰ I saw the drudgery Elohim gave to the sons of humanity to be humbled therein.

²⁵ I turned my heart around to know and to explore and to seek out wisdom and the machinations and to know the wickedness of folly - even of folly and madness;

⁹ I saw all this; and give my heart to every work worked under the sun; there is a time wherein human dominates human to his own evil.

¹² And moreover, by these, my son, be enlightened: of working abundant scrolls there is no end; and abundant study belabors the flesh.

¹⁵ Meditate on these: give yourself wholly to be in them to manifest your advancement among all.

³⁰ and the wisdom of Shelomoh abounds above the wisdom of all the sons of the east land and all the wisdom of Misrayim: ³¹ and he enwisens above all humanity - of Ethan the Zerachiy and Heman and Kalkol and Darda the sons of Machol: and his fame is all around the goyim: ³² and he words three thousand proverbs and his songs a thousand and five:

¹⁷ I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I perceived that this also is gnawing of spirit. ¹⁸ For in abundant wisdom is abundant vexation; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

⁹ Better the visage of the eyes than the walking of the soul; this is also vanity and gnawing of spirit.

⁶ and tells you the concealments of wisdom, that they are a double substance! Know that Elohah exacts your perversity of you.

²⁹ And when he rests, who judges wicked? and when he hides his face, who observes him? - whether against a goyim, or against humanity altogether;

¹⁴ I know that whatever Elohim works, is eternal; neither augmented; nor diminished: and Elohim works so that they awe at his face.

¹² for wisdom is a shadow; silver is a shadow; and the advantage of knowledge, wisdom enlivens its masters! ¹³ See the work of Elohim; for who can straighten what he twists?

⁴ - every valley becomes lifted and every mountain and hill lowered: and the crooked straightened and the ridges become a plain valley:

³⁷ Who is this - who says, and it becomes and Adonay commands not?

³⁵ and all who whirl on the earth are machinated as nought: and he does as he wills among the valiant of the heavens and they who whirl on the earth: and no one can strike his hand, or say to him, What serve you?

²⁷ Who of you, by anxiety, is able to add one cubit to his maturity?

¹² behold, I work according to your words: behold, I give you a wise and discerning heart; so that neither is any like you at your face nor any rise like you after you: ¹³ and I also give you what you ask not - both riches and honor: so that there be no man among the sovereigns as you all your days:

³⁰ and the wisdom of Shelomoh abounds above the wisdom of all the sons of the east land and all the wisdom of Misrayim:

⁷ and I trust not the words, until I come and my eyes see: and behold, the half is not told me: you add wisdom and goodness to the report I heard.

²³ Thus sovereign Shelomoh greatens above all the sovereigns of the earth for riches and for wisdom: ²⁴ and all the earth seeks the face of Shelomoh to hear the wisdom Elohim gives in his heart:

²⁰ And Gay Chazi the lad of Eli Shua the man of Elohim says, Behold, my adoni restrains Naaman this Aramiy from taking at his hands what he brought: and, Yah Veh lives, I run after him and take of him.

¹⁰ give me now wisdom and knowledge to go and come at the face of this people: for who can judge this your people so great? ¹¹ And Elohim says to Shelomoh, Because this is in your heart and you ask neither riches, holdings or honor, nor the soul of your haters, nor yet ask for many days; but ask wisdom and knowledge for yourself to judge my people over whom I have you reign: ¹² wisdom and knowledge are given you; and I give you riches and holdings and honor such as neither became sovereigns at your face, nor becomes after you.

¹² Hiram says, Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El who works the heavens and earth; who gave David the sovereign a wise son knowing comprehension and discernment to build a house for Yah Veh and a house for his sovereigndom.

²² And sovereign Shelomoh greatens above all the sovereigns of the earth in riches and wisdom: ²³ and all the sovereigns of the earth seek the face of Shelomoh, to hear the wisdom Elohim gives in his heart:

⁴ Quiver and sin not; say with your own heart on your bed and be still. Selah.

⁶ I remember my strumming in the night; I meditate with my heart; my spirit searches.

⁹ Thus I greatened and increased more than all ere my face in Yeru Shalem; also my wisdom stayed with me:

⁷ and he - he neither considers thus, nor fabricates his heart thus; but in his heart is to desolate and cut off goyim not a few. ⁸ - for he says, Are not my governors altogether sovereigns? ⁹ Is not Kalneh as Karchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Shomeron as Dammeseq? ¹⁰ As my hand found the sovereigndoms of the idol, and their sculptiles of Yeru Shalem and Shomeron; ¹¹ Work I not as I worked to Shomeron and her idols? Work thus to Yeru Shalem and her idols? ¹² And so be it, when Adonay clips his whole work on mount Siyon and on Yeru Shalem, I visit upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the sovereign of Ashshur and the adornment of his haughty eyes. ¹³ For he said, By the force of my hand, I worked; and by my wisdom, I discerned: and I turned aside the borders of the people and plundered their treasures; and I brought down the settlers as the mighty: ¹⁴ and my hand found, as a nest, the valuables of the people: and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; and no one flapped the wing or gaped the mouth or chirped.

¹⁴ who says, I build me a house of measure and breathtaking upper rooms; and rip out windows and ciel with cedar and anoint with vermilion.

¹⁰ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh; and so be it, at the same time, words ascend into your heart and you fabricate an evil fabrication: ¹¹ and you say, I ascend to the land of suburbs; I go to them who rest - who settle confidently; all of them settling without walls and having neither bars nor doors;

³⁰ the sovereign answers and says, Is not this great Babel, which I built, for the house of the sovereigndom by the empowerment of my power, and for the esteem of my majesty?

¹⁴ and solid nourishment is for the completed/shalamed - who through habit exercised their perceptions to discern both good and evil.

¹³ and I gave my heart to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all those worked under the heavens - this evil drudgery Elohim gave to the sons of humanity to be humbled therewith. ¹⁴ I saw all the works worked under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and gnawing of spirit.

³ I explored in my heart to draw my flesh to wine; yet driving my heart with wisdom: and to lay hold on folly until I see the good for the sons of humanity; which they work under the heavens the number of the days of their life.

¹⁰ and whatever my eyes asked I set not aside from them, nor withheld my heart from any cheerfulness; for my heart cheered in all my toil: and this was my allotment of all my toil. ¹¹ Then I faced all the works my hands worked and on the toil I toiled to work; and behold, all is vanity and gnawing of spirit and there is no advantage under the sun. ¹² And I turned my face to see wisdom and madness and folly: but what of the human who comes after the sovereign - when that which is, was already worked?

²³ I tested all this by wisdom; I said, I enwisen; and it is far from me. ²⁴ That which is far off and deep deep, who can find out? ²⁵ I turned my heart around to know and to explore and to seek out wisdom and the machinations and to know the wickedness of folly - even of folly and madness;

²¹ proof all, hold what is good,

²⁸ And to humanity he says, Behold, to Adonay is wisdom; and to turn aside from evil, discernment.

¹⁶ - neither be aboundingly just; nor more enwisened. Why desolate yourself?

¹² And moreover, by these, my son, be enlightened: of working abundant scrolls there is no end; and abundant study belabors the flesh. ¹³ Hear the conclusion of the whole word; Awe Elohim! Guard his misvoth! For this is the whole of humanity.

¹⁸ Seduce not yourselves. If anyone among you thinks to be wise in this eon, may he become a fool, that he becomes wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this cosmos is foolishness with Elohim. For it is scribed, He grasps the wise in their own cunning. ²⁰ And again, Yah Veh knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain. ^{Job 5:13, Psalm 94:11, 20}

¹³ Who among you, is wise and understanding? Show your works from a good behavior in meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter zeal and strife in your hearts, neither exult nor lie against the truth. ¹⁵ - this wisdom descends not from above but is earthly, soulical, demonic. ¹⁶ For where there are zeal and strife, there are instability and every evil matter. ¹⁷ And indeed, the wisdom from above is first hallowed, then at shalom, gentle, agreeable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and unhypocritical:
