Ecclesiastes 7:15
English: In the day of prosperity live joyfully, and consider in the day of adversity: consider, I say, God also has caused the one to agree with the other for this reason, that man should find nothing after him.
Greek: ἐν ἡµέρᾳ ἀγαθωσύνης ζῆθι ἐν ἀγαθῷ καὶ ἐν ἡµέρᾳ κακίας ἰδέ· καί γε σὺν τοῦτο σύµφωνον τούτῳ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς περὶ λαλιᾶς, ἵνα µὴ εὕρῃ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ µηδέν.

Ecclesiastes 7:16
English: I have seen all things in the days of my vanity: there is a just man perishing in his justice, and there is an ungodly man remaining in his wickedness.
Greek: Σὺν τὰ πάντα εἶδον ἐν ἡµέραις µαταιότητός µου· ἔστιν δίκαιος ἀπολλύµενος ἐν δικαίῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔστιν ἀσεβὴς µένων ἐν κακίᾳ αὐτοῦ.

Coptic: τσοφια ναβοηθει επσοφοσ εhουε μητ ευο νεξουσια ευsοοπ hν ουπολισ
Ecclesiastes 7:21
English: For there is not a righteous man in the earth, who will do good, and not sin

Coptic: jε μν ρωμε νδικαιοσ hιjμ πκαh εfναειρε νουαγαθον νfτμρνοβε

Ecclesiastes 7:23
English: For many times he shall trespass against thee, and repeatedly shall he afflict thine heart; for thus also hast thou cursed others.

Ecclesiastes 7:24
English: All these things have I proved in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

Coptic: ναι τηρου αιjοντου hν τσοφια αυω αιjοοσ jε tναsωπε νhουε σοφοσ
Ecclesiastes 7:25
English: That which is far beyond what was, and a great depth, who shall find it out?

Coptic: αυω ντοσ ασουε εβολ μμοι εματε παρα θε ενεσο μμοσ αυω εναsε πεσsικ νιμ πετναsταhοσ
Ecclesiastes 7:26
English: I and my heart went round about to know, and to examine, and to seek wisdom, and the account of things, and to know the folly and trouble and madness of the ungodly man.
Greek: ἐκύκλωσα ἐγώ, καὶ ἡ καρδία µου τοῦ γνῶναι καὶ τοῦ κατασκέψασθαι καὶ ζητῆσαι σοφίαν καὶ ψῆφον καὶ τοῦ γνῶναι ἀσεβοῦς ἀφροσύνην καὶ σκληρίαν καὶ περιφοράν.

Ecclesiastes 7:27
English: And I find her to be, and I will pronounce to be more bitter than death the woman which is a snare, and her heart nets, who has a band in her hands: he that is good in the sight of God shall be delivered from her; but the sinner shall be caught by her.
Greek: καὶ εὑρίσκω ἐγὼ πικρότερον ὑπὲρ θάνατον, σὺν τὴν γυναῖκα, ἥτις ἐστὶν θηρεύµατα καὶ σαγῆναι καρδία αὐτῆς, δεσµοὶ χεῖρες αὐτῆς· ἀγαθὸς πρὸ προσώπου τοῦ θεοῦ ἐξαιρεθήσεται ἀπ’ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἁµαρτάνων συλληµφθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ.

Coptic: εισ παι αιhε εροf πεjε πεκλησιαστησ ειε εσουηh νσα ουει εhε ευλογισμοσ
Ecclesiastes 7:29
English: which my soul sought after, but I found not: for I have found one man of a thousand; but a woman in all these I have not found.
Greek: ὃν ἔτι ἐζήτησεν ἡ ψυχή µου καὶ οὐχ εὗρον· ἄνθρωπον ἕνα ἀπὸ χιλίων εὗρον καὶ γυναῖκα ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις οὐχ εὗρον.
Coptic: παι ντα ταψυχη sινε νσωf αυω μπεσhε εροf αυω ουρωμε νουωτ πε νταιhε εροf hν sο αυ ουσhιμε μπειhε εροσ hν ναι τηρου
Ecclesiastes 7:30
English: But, behold, this have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many devices.  Who knows the wise? and who knows the interpretation of a saying?
Greek: πλὴν ἰδὲ τοῦτο εὗρον, ὃ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς σὺν τὸν ἄνθρωπον εὐθῆ, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐζήτησαν λογισµοὺς πολλούς. (8:1) Τίς οἶδεν σοφούς; καὶ τίς οἶδεν λύσιν ῥήµατος;

Coptic: τταπρο μπρρο t hτηκ εροσ αυω μπρcεπη ετβε ουsαjε νραναs μπνουτε

Coptic: νγναμοοsε γαρ hιhιη μμοκ μπραhε cε ερατκ hν ουsαjε εfhοου
Ecclesiastes 8:4

Coptic: νθε νουρρο ευντf τεξουσια αυω νιμ πετναjοοσ ναf jε ου πετκνααf
Ecclesiastes 8:5
English: He that keeps the commandment shall not know an evil thing: and the heart of the wise knows the time of judgment.
Greek: ὁ φυλάσσων ἐντολὴν οὐ γνώσεται ῥῆµα πονηρόν, καὶ καιρὸν κρίσεως γινώσκει καρδία σοφοῦ·
Coptic: πετναhαρεh δε ετεντολη νfναειμε ον ευsαjε μπονηρον αυω πευοειs μπhαπ πhητ μπσοφοσ ναειμε εροf
Ecclesiastes 8:6
English: For to every thing there is time and judgment; for the knowledge of a man is great to him.
Greek: ὅτι παντὶ πράγµατι ἔστιν καιρὸς καὶ κρίσις, ὅτι γνῶσις τοῦ ἀνθρώπου πολλὴ ἐπ’ αὐτόν·
Coptic: jε hωβ νιμ ουντου πευουοειs μμαυ μν τεκρισισ jε πσοουν μπρωμε ναsωf εhραι εjωf
Ecclesiastes 8:7
English: For there is no one that knows what is going to be: for who shall tell him how it shall be?
Greek: ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν γινώσκων τί τὸ ἐσόµενον, ὅτι καθὼς ἔσται τίς ἀναíελεῖ αὐτῷ;
Coptic: jε μν πετειμε jε ου πετναsωπε αυω κατα θε ετfναsωπε νιμ πετναταμοf
Ecclesiastes 8:8
English: There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; and there is no power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in the day of the battle; neither shall ungodliness save her votary.
Greek: οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος ἐξουσιάζων ἐν πνεύµατι τοῦ κωλῦσαι σὺν τὸ πνεῦµα· καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐξουσία ἐν ἡµέρᾳ τοῦ θανάτου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀποστολὴ ἐν τῷ πολέµῳ, καὶ οὐ διασώσει ἀσέβεια τὸν παρ’ αὐτῆς.
Coptic: μν ρωμε εfο ντεξουσια μπεπνα ετρεfκωλυ μπεπνα αυω μν πετο νεξουσια hμ πεhοου μπμου αυω μν κω εβολ hμ πεhοου μππολεμοσ αυω τμντsαfτε νσνανουhμ αν μπετηπ εροσ
Ecclesiastes 8:9
English: So I saw all this, and I applied my heart to every work that has been done under the sun; all the things wherein man has power over man to afflict him.
Greek: καὶ σὺν πᾶν τοῦτο εἶδον καὶ ἔδωκα τὴν καρδίαν µου εἰς πᾶν ποίηµα, ὃ πεποίηται ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον, τὰ ὅσα ἐξουσιάσατο ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ κακῶσαι αὐτόν·

Ecclesiastes 8:10
English: And then I saw the ungodly carried into the tombs, and that out of the holy place: and they departed, and were praised in the city, because they had done thus: this also is vanity.
Greek: καὶ τότε εἶδον ἀσεβεῖς εἰς τάφους εἰσαχθέντας, καὶ ἐκ τόπου ἁγίου ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἐπῃνέθησαν ἐν τῇ πόλει, ὅτι οὕτως ἐποίησαν. καί γε τοῦτο µαταιότης.

Ecclesiastes 8:11
English: Because there is no contradiction made on the part of those who do evil quickly, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully determined in them to do evil.
Greek: ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν γινοµένη ἀντίρρησις ἀπὸ τῶν ποιούντων τὸ πονηρὸν ταχύ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐπληροφορήθη καρδία υἱῶν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν αὐτοῖς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρόν.

Ecclesiastes 8:12
English: He that has sinned has done evil from that time, and long from beforehand: nevertheless I know, that it is well with them that fear God, that they may fear before him:
Greek: ὃς ἥµαρτεν, ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἀπὸ τότε καὶ ἀπὸ µακρότητος αὐτῷ· ὅτι καί γε γινώσκω ἐγὼ ὅτι ἔσται ἀγαθὸν τοῖς φοβουµένοις τὸν θεόν, ὅπως φοβῶνται ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ·
Coptic: πενταfρνοβε αfειρε μππονηρον jιν νsορπ αυω sα τευhαη αυω tσοουν ανοκ jε ουν αγαθον ναsωπε ννετο νhοτε hητf μπνουτε jεκαασ ευερhοτε hα τεfhιη
Ecclesiastes 8:13
English: but it shall not be well with the ungodly, and he shall not prolong his days, which are as a shadow; forasmuch as he fears not before God.
Greek: καὶ ἀγαθὸν οὐκ ἔσται τῷ ἀσεβεῖ, καὶ οὐ µακρυνεῖ ἡµέρας ἐν σκιᾷ ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν φοβούµενος ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ θεοῦ.
Coptic: μν αγαθον δε ναsωπε μπασεβησ αυω νfταsε νεfhοου αν hα θαιβεσ νcι πετε νfο νhοτε αν hητf μπνουτε
Ecclesiastes 8:14
English: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are righteous persons to whom it happens according to the doing of the ungodly; and there are ungodly men, to whom it happens according to the doing of the just: I said, This is also vanity.
Greek: ἔστιν µαταιότης, ἣ πεποίηται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι εἰσὶ δίκαιοι ὅτι φθάνει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὡς ποίηµα τῶν ἀσεβῶν, καὶ εἰσὶν ἀσεβεῖς ὅτι φθάνει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὡς ποίηµα τῶν δικαίων· εἶπα ὅτι καί γε τοῦτο µαταιότης.

Ecclesiastes 8:15
English: Then I praised mirth, because there is no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry: and this shall attend him in his labour all the days of his life, which God has given him under the sun.
Greek: καὶ ἐπῄνεσα ἐγὼ σὺν τὴν εὐφροσύνην, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀγαθὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον ὅτι εἰ µὴ τοῦ φαγεῖν καὶ τοῦ πιεῖν καὶ τοῦ εὐφρανθῆναι, καὶ αὐτὸ συµπροσέσται αὐτῷ ἐν µόχθῳ αὐτοῦ ἡµέρας ζωῆς αὐτοῦ, ὅσας ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον.

Ecclesiastes 8:16
English: Whereupon I set my heart to know wisdom, and to perceive the trouble that was wrought upon the earth: for there is that neither by day nor night sees sleep with his eyes.
Greek: Ἐν οἷς ἔδωκα τὴν καρδίαν µου τοῦ γνῶναι σοφίαν καὶ τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὸν περισπασµὸν τὸν πεποιηµένον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι καί γε ἐν ἡµέρᾳ καὶ ἐν νυκτὶ ὕπνον ἐν ὀφθαλµοῖς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν βλέπων,

Ecclesiastes 8:17
English: And I beheld all the works of God, that a man shall not be able to discover the work which is wrought under the sun; whatsoever things a man shall endeavour to seek, however a man may labour to seek it, yet he shall not find it; yea, how much soever a wise man may speak of knowing it, he shall not be able to find it: for I applied all this to my heart, and my heart has seen all this.
Greek: καὶ εἶδον σὺν πάντα τὰ ποιήµατα τοῦ θεοῦ, ὅτι οὐ δυνήσεται ἄνθρωπος τοῦ εὑρεῖν σὺν τὸ ποίηµα τὸ πεποιηµένον ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον· ὅσα ἂν µοχθήσῃ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ ζητῆσαι, καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσει· καί γε ὅσα ἂν εἴπῃ ὁ σοφὸς τοῦ γνῶναι, οὐ δυνήσεται τοῦ εὑρεῖν.

Ecclesiastes 9:1
English: I saw that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: yea, there is no man that knows either love or hatred, though all are before their face.
Greek: Ὅτι σὺν πᾶν τοῦτο ἔδωκα εἰς καρδίαν µου, καὶ καρδία µου σὺν πᾶν εἶδεν τοῦτο, ὡς οἱ δίκαιοι καὶ οἱ σοφοὶ καὶ ἐργασίαι αὐτῶν ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ θεοῦ, καί γε ἀγάπην καί γε µῖσος οὐκ ἔστιν εἰδὼς ὁ ἄνθρωπος· τὰ πάντα πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν,

Ecclesiastes 9:2
English: Vanity is in all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good, and to the bad; both to the pure, and to the impure; both to him that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifice not: as is the good, so is the sinner: as is the swearer, even so is he that fears an oath.
Greek: µαταιότης ἐν τοῖς πᾶσιν. συνάντηµα ἓν τῷ δικαίῳ καὶ τῷ ἀσεβεῖ, τῷ ἀγαθῷ καὶ τῷ κακῷ καὶ τῷ καθαρῷ καὶ τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ καὶ τῷ θυσιάζοντι καὶ τῷ µὴ θυσιάζοντι· ὡς ὁ ἀγαθός, ὧς ὁ ἁµαρτάνων· ὧς ὁ ὀµνύων, καθὼς ὁ τὸν ὅρκον φοβούµενος.
Coptic: ουτωμντ νουωτ πετναταhε πδικαιοσ μν πασεβησ πεττββηυ αυω πετjαhμ παγαθοσ αυω πετhοου αυω πετρθυσια μν πετε νfειρε αν κατα θε μπαγαθοσ ται τε θε μπρεfρνοβε νθε μπετρωκh ται τε θε μπετρhοτε hητf μπαναs
Ecclesiastes 9:3
English: There is this evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yea, the heart of the sons of men is filled with evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after that they go to the dead.
Greek: τοῦτο πονηρὸν ἐν παντὶ πεποιηµένῳ ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον, ὅτι συνάντηµα ἓν τοῖς πᾶσιν· καί γε καρδία υἱῶν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπληρώθη πονηροῦ, καὶ περιφέρεια ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν ἐν ζωῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν πρὸς τοὺς νεκρούς.

Ecclesiastes 9:4
English: for who is he that has fellowship with all the living? there is hope of him: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Greek: ὅτι τίς ὃς κοινωνεῖ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς ζῶντας; ἔστιν ἐλπίς, ὅτι ὁ κύων ὁ ζῶν, αὐτὸς ἀγαθὸς ὑπὲρ τὸν λέοντα τὸν νεκρόν.
Coptic: jε νιμ πετνακοινωνι μν νετονh τηρου ουν hελπισ sοοπ ναυ jε πευhορ ετονh νανουf εhουε πμουι ετμοουτ.
Ecclesiastes 9:5
English: For the living will know that they shall die: but the dead know nothing, and there is no longer any reward to them; for their memory is lost.
Greek: ὅτι οἱ ζῶντες γνώσονται ὅτι ἀποθανοῦνται, καὶ οἱ νεκροὶ οὔκ εἰσιν γινώσκοντες οὐδέν· καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς ἔτι µισθός, ὅτι ἐπελήσθη ἡ µνήµη αὐτῶν·
Coptic: jε νετονh σεναειμε jε σεναμου. αυω νετμοουτ νσεσοουν αν νλααυ αυω μν βεκε sοοπ ναυ jε αυρπωβs μπευρπμεευε.
Ecclesiastes 9:6
English: also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, have now perished; yea, there is no portion for them any more for ever in all that is done under the sun.
Greek: καί γε ἀγάπη αὐτῶν καί γε µῖσος αὐτῶν καί γε ζῆλος αὐτῶν ἤδη ἀπώλετο, καὶ µερὶς οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς ἔτι εἰς αἰῶνα ἐν παντὶ τῷ πεποιηµένῳ ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον.

Ecclesiastes 9:10
English: Whatsoever thine hand shall find to do, do with all thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Hades wither thou goest.
Greek: πάντα, ὅσα ἂν εὕρῃ ἡ χείρ σου τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὡς ἡ δύναµίς σου ποίησον, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ποίηµα καὶ λογισµὸς καὶ γνῶσις καὶ σοφία ἐν ᾅδῃ, ὅπου σὺ πορεύῃ ἐκεῖ.

Ecclesiastes 9:11
English: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor yet wealth to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; for time and chance will happen to them all.
Greek: Ἐπέστρεψα καὶ εἶδον ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον ὅτι οὐ τοῖς κούφοις ὁ δρόµος καὶ οὐ τοῖς δυνατοῖς ὁ πόλεµος καί γε οὐ τοῖς σοφοῖς ἄρτος καί γε οὐ τοῖς συνετοῖς πλοῦτος καί γε οὐ τοῖς γινώσκουσιν χάρις, ὅτι καιρὸς καὶ ἀπάντηµα συναντήσεται τοῖς πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς.

Ecclesiastes 9:13
English: This I also saw to be wisdom under the sun, and it is great before me:

Coptic: αυω πειhωβ αιναυ εροf ουσοφια αιναυ εροσ hαροf μπρη ευνοc νναhραι.
Ecclesiastes 9:14
English: suppose there were a little city, and few men in it; and there should come against it a great king, and surround it, and build great mounds against it;
Greek: πόλις µικρὰ καὶ ἄνδρες ἐν αὐτῇ ὀλίγοι, καὶ ἔλθῃ ἐπ’ αὐτὴν βασιλεὺς µέγας καὶ κυκλώσῃ αὐτὴν καὶ οἰκοδοµήσῃ ἐπ’ αὐτὴν χάρακας µεγάλους·

Greek: καὶ εὕρῃ ἐν αὐτῇ ἄνδρα πένητα σοφόν, καὶ διασώσει αὐτὸς τὴν πόλιν ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἄνθρωπος οὐκ ἐµνήσθη σὺν τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τοῦ πένητος ἐκείνου.

Ecclesiastes 9:16
English: And I said Wisdom is better than power: yet the wisdom of the poor man is set at nought, and his words not listened to.
Greek: καὶ εἶπα ἐγώ Ἀγαθὴ σοφία ὑπὲρ δύναµιν· καὶ σοφία τοῦ πένητος ἐξουδενωµένη, καὶ λόγοι αὐτοῦ οὔκ εἰσιν ἀκουόµενοι.

Ecclesiastes 10:1
English: Pestilent flies will corrupt a preparation of sweet ointment: and a little wisdom is more precious than great glory of folly.
Greek: Μυῖαι θανατοῦσαι σαπριοῦσιν σκευασίαν ἐλαίου ἡδύσµατος· τίµιον ὀλίγον σοφίας ὑπὲρ δόξαν ἀφροσύνης µεγάλης.
