RF ECC 9:1 For I had applied my mind to all that, and could only discover this,—That the Righteous and Philosophic in their labours, are in the hand of God. Whether he likes it or dislikes it, man cannot know all that is before him!—
RF ECC 9:2 To the wicked,—to the good,—and to the pure;—and to the depraved;—and to the worshipper, and to the one who neglects worship;—to the Good and to the Bad alike;—to the Perjurer, and to him who respects his Oath, comes the same result!
RF ECC 9:3 This is the grief in all that is done under the sun;—that one event happens to all; therefore the mind of the Sons of Adam is full of grief, and agitation is in their hearts during their lives,—and after that,—the Dead!
RF ECC 9:4 For who, of the living, has his choice? Who is hopeful? Yet a living dog is better than a dead lion!—
RF ECC 9:5 The living, however, know they will die; but the dead know nothing whatever.—And they have no more fame;—for the remembrance of them is forgotten!
RF ECC 9:6 And their former loves, and hatreds, and ambitions perish; and they have no more possession, for ever, in all that they accomplished under the sun!
RF ECC 9:7 Lecture 12: On the Enjoyments of Life.
Go! Eat your food with pleasure, and drink your wine with a merry heart;—for GOD is well pleased by your doing so.
RF ECC 9:8 Let your clothing always be handsome, and let not your head need oil!
RF ECC 9:9 Enjoy life with the wife you love, all the days of the worthless life given you under the sun!—all your worthless days!—for that is your lot in life, and your endeavor in all your efforts under the sun!
RF ECC 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do,—do it with all your might! for there is neither Work, or Skill, or Knowledge, or Science, in the Grave to which you are going!
RF ECC 9:11 I have explored, and have seen under the sun, that the race is not to the swift; nor the battle to the strong;—nor bread to the wise;—nor wealth to the skilful; nor success to the prudent; but Time and Chance happen to them all!
RF ECC 9:12 Man, also, knows not his opportunity!—Like fishes caught in a cruel net,—and like birds caught in a trap,—the sons of Adam are caught like them, at a cruel time, that suddenly falls upon them!
RF ECC 9:13 Once I observed this result of intelligence under the sun,—and it was astonishing to me!
RF ECC 9:14 There was a little town with few men in it, and a great General came against, and surrounded it, and built entrenchments against it.
RF ECC 9:15 But a poor person possessing intelligence was found there, who rescued the town by his intelligence;—but the men did not remember that poor person!—
RF ECC 9:16 I, however, said, "Intelligence is better than strength. Nevertheless the intelligence of the poor is despised, and no one will listen to his words."
RF ECC 9:17 Lecture 13: Two Epigrams.
On the Value of Intelligence, as compared with Ignorance in Human Affairs.
1. Wisdom and Folly.
The words of the Wise are heard in quiet,
While shouting rules among fools!
RF ECC 9:18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
But one blunder destroys much success
