Ecclesiastes 1:8

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him.”

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.

For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat;

What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.

In this mountain, Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring:

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”

“Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

Sheol, the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough.’

What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?

For all his days are sorrows, and his travail is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.

Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

He who follows after righteousness and kindness finds life, righteousness, and honor.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.

to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.

to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that he may be glorified.

For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”

Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. An arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples.

Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.

Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

Blessed is the one whom you choose and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.

My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!

He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.

I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky. It is a heavy burden that God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

There is one who is alone, and he has neither son nor brother. There is no end to all of his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with wealth. “For whom then, do I labor and deprive my soul of enjoyment?” This also is vanity. Yes, it is a miserable business.

Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.

The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, Yahweh, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed;

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,

Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”

For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

“Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.

So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?

I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.

I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her.

What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
