All things are full of labor;
Man cannot express it.
The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor the ear filled with hearing. That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us. There is no remembrance of former things,
Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
By those who will come after. — Ecclesiastes 1:8-11 NKJV

Sale el sol, y se pone el sol, y se apresura a volver al lugar de donde se levanta. El viento tira hacia el sur, y rodea al norte; va girando de continuo, y a sus giros vuelve el viento de nuevo. Los ríos todos van al mar, y el mar no se llena; al lugar de donde los ríos vinieron, allí vuelven para correr de nuevo. — Ecclesiastes 1:5-7 RVR60

The sun also rises, and the sun goes down,
And hastens to the place where it arose. The wind goes toward the south,
And turns around to the north;
The wind whirls about continually,
And comes again on its circuit. All the rivers run into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full;
To the place from which the rivers come,
There they return again. — Ecclesiastes 1:5-7 NKJV

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher;
“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” What profit has a man from all his labor
In which he toils under the sun? One generation passes away, and another generation comes;
But the earth abides forever. — Ecclesiastes 1:1-4 NKJV

Apologies for the missed daily posts.
These are the last verses of Proverbs. Solomons wisdom in Ecclesiastes to follow.
Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants. She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night. She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet. She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants. Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her: “Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates. — Proverbs 31:10-31 NKJV

Palabras del rey Lemuel; la profecía con que le enseñó su madre. ¿Qué, hijo mío? ¿y qué, hijo de mi vientre? ¿Y qué, hijo de mis deseos? No des a las mujeres tu fuerza, Ni tus caminos a lo que destruye a los reyes. No es de los reyes, oh Lemuel, no es de los reyes beber vino, Ni de los príncipes la sidra; No sea que bebiendo olviden la ley, Y perviertan el derecho de todos los afligidos. Dad la sidra al desfallecido, Y el vino a los de amargado ánimo. Beban, y olvídense de su necesidad, Y de su miseria no se acuerden más. Abre tu boca por el mudo En el juicio de todos los desvalidos. Abre tu boca, juzga con justicia, Y defiende la causa del pobre y del menesteroso. — Proverbs 31:1-9 RVR60

The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him: What, my son?
And what, son of my womb?
And what, son of my vows? Do not give your strength to women,
Nor your ways to that which destroys kings. It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink; Lest they drink and forget the law,
And pervert the justice of all the afflicted. Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart. Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his misery no more. Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy. — Proverbs 31:1-9 NKJV

There are three things which are majestic in pace,
Yes, four which are stately in walk: A lion, which is mighty among beasts
And does not turn away from any; A greyhound,
A male goat also,
And a king whose troops are with him. — Proverbs 30:29-31 NKJV

There are four things which are little on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise: The ants are a people not strong,
Yet they prepare their food in the summer; The rock badgers are a feeble folk,
Yet they make their homes in the crags; The locusts have no king,
Yet they all advance in ranks; The spider skillfully grasps with its hands,
And it is in kings’ palaces. — Proverbs 30:24-28 NKJV

Por tres cosas se alborota la tierra, Y la cuarta ella no puede sufrir: Por el siervo cuando reina; Por el necio cuando se sacia de pan; Por la mujer odiada cuando se casa; Y por la sierva cuando hereda a su señora. — Proverbs 30:21-23 RVR60

For three things the earth is perturbed,
Yes, for four it cannot bear up: For a servant when he reigns,
A fool when he is filled with food, A hateful woman when she is married,
And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress. — Proverbs 30:21-23 NKJV

There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Yes, four which I do not understand: The way of an eagle in the air,

The leech has two daughters—
Give and Give!
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”: The grave,
The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!” — Proverbs 30:15-16 NKJV

No acuses al siervo ante su señor, No sea que te maldiga, y lleves el castigo. Hay generación que maldice a su padre Y a su madre no bendice. Hay generación limpia en su propia opinión, Si bien no se ha limpiado de su inmundicia. Hay generación cuyos ojos son altivos Y cuyos párpados están levantados en alto. Hay generación cuyos dientes son espadas, y sus muelas cuchillos, Para devorar a los pobres de la tierra, y a los menesterosos de entre los hombres. — Proverbs 30:10-14 RVR60

Do not malign a servant to his master,
Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty. There is a generation that curses its father,
And does not bless its mother. There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
Yet is not washed from its filthiness. There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation whose teeth are like swords,
And whose fangs are like knives,
To devour the poor from off the earth,
And the needy from among men. — Proverbs 30:10-14 NKJV

Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die): Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You,
And say, “Who is the LORD?”
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God. — Proverbs 30:7-9 NKJV
