and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom:
from Him comes knowledge
and understanding.
He is a shield to those that walk uprightly. He guards the paths of judgment
and preserves the way of His saints to deliver you from the way of the evil.

is the one who hears all
and answers our prayers.
Whoever puts His trust
in the great God that formed all things
will be safe.
Who has ascended into heaven,
or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who established all the ends of the earth?
10
Every word of God is pure:
He is a shield to those
that put their trust in Him.
As the whirlwind passes
the wicked are no more:
but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. The fear of the Lord prolongs days:
but the years of the wicked will be shortened. The way of the Lord is strength

12
Commit your works to the Lord,
and your thoughts will be established.
The Lord is a strong tower.
The righteous run to Him
and are safe.
The spirit of man
is the candle of the Lord,
searching all the inward parts
of the heart.
The Lord pleads the cause
of those robbed
and robs those that robbed them.
Don’t set your eyes on riches
for they certainly make themselves wings
and fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Don’t cheat the fatherless
for their Redeemer is mighty;
He will contend with you.
13
Correct your children.
They won’t die,
but you deliver their souls from hell.
Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls.
It may displease the Lord
and He may turn away His wrath. Don’t be upset about evil people
or envy the wicked;
their candle will be put out.
A right answer is a kiss on the lips.

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
4
I, Solomon the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
And I gave my heart to seek by wisdom all things that are done under heaven: this task God has given to the sons of man to be humbled by.
Vanity (self-centeredness, emptiness) of vanities all is vanity. What profit does a man have from all his work he does under the sun?
5
One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and sets and hurries around again.
The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north; it whirls about continually,
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; to the place from where the rivers come, they return.
6
The eye is not satisfied with seeing, or the ear filled with hearing.

[They will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.] Psalm 23:6
7
I sought wisdom and became the wisest of men. But with much wisdom comes much grief.
So, I tried mirth, enjoyment, pleasure but then said of laughter, this is madness.
I kept searching to find what was good for the sons of men to do under the heaven
all the days of their life.
8
I built houses; I planted vineyards, gardens, and orchards, and all kinds of fruits.
I gathered all kinds of possessions and animals and servants and gold and silver, musical instruments, men and women singers.
Whatever my eyes desired I didn’t keep from them, I didn’t hold back my heart from any joy; then I looked at it all and found it empty and troubling to my spirit.
9
For God gives to a man that is good in His sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy.
He, the most beautiful One, made everything beautiful in His time.
I know that whatever God does, it will be forever: nothing can be added to it, nothing can be taken from it: and God does it,
that men will fear (revere) Him.
10
God will judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose
and for every work.
To rejoice in one’s labor; this is the gift of God. God answers him in the joy of His heart.
The one that fears God will come forth above all: literally also, forever.
He that overcomes will sit with Me
on My throne. Revelation 3:21
11
God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. I know that it will be well with those that fear God,
For since the beginning of the world men haven’t heard or seen, O God, beside You, what You have prepared for them that wait for you.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, the things that God has prepared for those that love him.
1 Corinthians 2:9

that He has given you under the sun,
for that is your portion in this life,
and in your work that you do under the sun. Ecclesiastes 9:9
In His presence is fullness of joy
and at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
13
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, or the years draw near, when you say, I have no pleasure in them.
The words of the wise are as goads,
and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, that are given from One Shepherd.
Learn by these my son.
For beyond these, be warned.
14
Of the making of many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Only one book contains the Words of God,
from ‘holy men of God who spoke
as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
1 Peter 1:21
Imagine words from the Maker of the universe!
His words are ‘life to all that find them and health to all their flesh.

15
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Matthew 24:35
Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where nothing can break or age,
and where there are no thieves to steal.
For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
16
The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore your focus is single,
your whole body will be full of light.
But seek first the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness;
and all things shall be added to you.
He that overcomes will inherit all things
and I will be his God and He will be my Son. Revelation 21:7
17
Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for tomorrow will take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the its evil. 31-34
Mankind will always be wanting more because He is made by the infinite one,
for the infinite one:
For His glory.

to dwell in ‘filled with all the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:19
He is the infinite Source and the infinite epitome of all we desire.

Song of Solomon 1:2
Our God is love.
1 John 4:8
Since He is infinite, then He is infinite love, making His love infinitely better than wine.
Imagine the most blissful moment of your life and multiply it by infinity and you can’t come close to the joy of God’s love in your heart:
for it has no end.
3
Because of the fragrance of your precious ointments your name is as perfume poured forth.
His name is who He is:
His infinite genius and power made all things and breathed into us His ‘breath of life’ and we became living beings, made in His image: the greatest honor ever given.
All life is His love continually pouring forth.
And He created us with senses to enjoy it all, to see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
4
perceive in our minds, and know in our hearts:
not just awesome creatures, sweet breezes, and meadows dancing with flowers,
but other hearts that respond to love.
Don’t trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

The king brought me into His chambers:
we joy and rejoice in You,
we will remember Your love.

And His fruit was sweet to my taste.
What can be sweeter can than knowing that we are forgiven all wrongs past, present, and future:

says to us, Ask what you will,
that your joy may be full.
John 16;24

14
Jesus took Peter, James, and John to a high mountain and was transfigured before them: and His face shined as the sun, and His clothes were white as the light.
A bright cloud overshadowed them and a Voice out of the cloud said,

The day is coming when all will hear the voice of the Son of God
15
and those that hear will live.

16
My Beloved spoke to me,
Rise up, My love, My beautiful one,
and come away.
Our eternal Beloved invites:
Come to Me all you who labor with heavy burdens. I will give you rest.
A single glimpse of Him lifts our hearts into the heights of glory, to the ‘exceedingly beyond anything our hearts have ever imagined or longed for:

Your beauty is perfect through My beauty I had put on You, says the Lord God.
