The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. {poureth: Heb. belcheth, or, bubbleth}

For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? {when...: or, how it shall be?}

For who knoweth what {is} good for man in {this} life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? {all...: Heb. the number of the days of the life of his vanity}

Wherefore I perceive that {there is} nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that {is} his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice {is known} by multitude of words.

Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips {is} wise.

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth {his hands} among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: {and} he that shutteth his lips {is esteemed} a man of understanding.

For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? {when...: or, how it shall be?}

Wherefore I perceive that {there is} nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that {is} his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

A wise man's heart {is} at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard {them}. {boasted: Heb. magnified}

For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, {are} in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred {by} all {that is} before them. {I considered...: Heb. I gave, or, set to my heart}
