| 12:1 | Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; |
| 12:2 | While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: |
| 12:3 | In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, |
| 12:4 | And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; |
| 12:5 | Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: |
| 12:6 | Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. |
| 12:7 | Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. |
| 12:8 | Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. |
| 12:9 | And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. |
| 12:10 | The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. |
| 12:11 | The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. |
| 12:12 | And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. |
| 12:13 | Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. |
| 12:14 | For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. |
| 12:14 | 因為人所作的事、連一切隱藏的事、無論是善是惡、 神都必審問。 |
| 12:14 | 因为人所作的事，连一切隐藏的事，无论是善是恶，神都必审问。 |
| ecc:11:9 | Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. |
| mat:12:36 | But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. |
| act:17:30 | And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: |
| act:17:31 | Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. |
| rom:2:16 | In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. |
| rom:14:10 | But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. |
| rom:14:12 | So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. |
| 1co:4:5 | Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. |
| 2co:5:10 | For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. |
