Then said I in my heart, that this also is vanity.Ecclesiastes 2:16For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten.

This also is vanity.Ecclesiastes 2:20Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor wherein I had labored under the sun.Ecclesiastes 2:21For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.Ecclesiastes 2:22For what hath a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboreth under the sun?Ecclesiastes 2:23For all his days are but sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity.Ecclesiastes 2:24There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.Ecclesiastes 2:25For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?Ecclesiastes 2:26For to the man that pleaseth him God giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.Ecclesiastes 7:11Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.Ecclesiastes 7:12For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.Ecclesiastes 7:13Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?Ecclesiastes 7:16Be not righteous overmuch; neither make thyself overwise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?Ecclesiastes 7:17Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?Ecclesiastes 7:18It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth from them all.Ecclesiastes 7:19Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.Ecclesiastes 7:20Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.Ecclesiastes 7:21Also take not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee;Ecclesiastes 7:22for oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.Ecclesiastes 7:23All this have I proved in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.Ecclesiastes 7:24That which is, is far off and exceeding deep; who can find it out?Ecclesiastes 7:25I turned about, and my heart was set to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason of things, and to know that wickedness is folly, and that foolishness is madness.Ecclesiastes 8:1Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.Ecclesiastes 8:5Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man’s heart discerneth time and judgment:Ecclesiastes 8:16When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes),Ecclesiastes 8:17then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.Ecclesiastes 9:13I have also seen wisdom under the sun on this wise, and it seemed great unto me:Ecclesiastes 9:14There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.Ecclesiastes 9:15Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.Ecclesiastes 9:16Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.Ecclesiastes 9:17The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.Ecclesiastes 9:18Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.Ecclesiastes 10:2A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.Ecclesiastes 10:3Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.Ecclesiastes 10:10If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.Ecclesiastes 10:12The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.Ecclesiastes 12:11The words of the wise are as goads; and as nails well fastened are the words of the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.Isaiah 2:3And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.Isaiah 5:21Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!Isaiah 11:1And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.Isaiah 11:2And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.Isaiah 11:3And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears;Isaiah 11:9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.Isaiah 28:24Doth he that ploweth to sow plow continually? doth he continually open and harrow his ground?Isaiah 28:25When he hath levelled the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border thereof?Isaiah 28:26For his God doth instruct him aright, and doth teach him.
