Morris.] oJih [Oct. 5 



10 Then I saw the impious borne to the graves. 

 And from the good they went away : 



And they praised them in the city 

 Because they had done thus. 



SOLOMON. 



This also is perplexity, 



11 That sentence against doers of evil is not swift : 



Therefore the heart of sons of men is abundantly filled to do evil. 



12 Whoever has sinned has done evil : 



From that time is also away from their greatness. 



For this I know, 



That it is good to those who fear God : 



That they may fear before His Face. 



13 And there shall be no good to the impious : 

 And he shall not prolong his days in shade. 

 Who feareth not before the Face of God. 



ASSYRIAN. 



14 There is a perplexity wrought upon the earth. 

 That there are righteous. 



To whom it happens as to the deed of the impious : 

 And there are wicked. 



To whom it happens as (to) the deed of the just. 

 I have said that this indeed is perplexity. 



15 And I praised mirtlifulness : 



For there is nothing good for a man under the sun 

 But that he should eat and drink and rejoice : 

 And this shall be his advantage 

 In his labor all the days of his life, 

 Which God has given him under the sun. 



16 In which I gave my heart to know wisdom, 

 And to behold the stiuggle made upon the earth : 

 For both day and night 



There is rio one seeing sleep with his eyes. 



17 And I beheld all the work of God, 



That a man shall not be able to find out thoroughly 

 All the work done under the sun. 

 Though a man should labor to seek, 

 Yet shall he not find out : 

 However a wise man may say he knows it. 

 He shall not be able to find it. 

 For to all this I gave my heart : 

 And my heart hath known all this. 

 9 As well the righteous and the wise, 



As their works, are in the hand of God : 

 And so also love and hate.
