Ecclesiastes 10:8 KJV 8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. AKJV 8 He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaks an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
These are my thoughts. Let us not dig out pit of sin any more but follow Jesus.

Ecclesiastes 10:7 KJV 7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. AKJV 7 I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking as servants on the earth.
These are my thoughts. Sometimes the way things go seems backwards but we need to let the Lord lead us thru the confusion.

Ecclesiastes 10:4 KJV 4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences. AKJV 4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against you, leave not your place; for yielding pacifies great offenses.
These are my thoughts. We may have authority figures come against and we need to stay true to the faith and who we are when this happens.

Ecclesiastes 10:3 KJV 3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool. AKJV 3 Yes also, when he that is a fool walks by the way, his wisdom fails him, and he said to every one that he is a fool.
These are my thoughts. We should wlak b the Lord because without the Lord wisdom does not mean anything.

Ecclesiastes 10:2 KJV 2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left. AKJV 2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
These are my thoughts. Right hand often means power, there is power in living for the Lord but weakness in living our own way.

KJV 1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
AKJV 1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking smell: so does a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.
These are my thoughts.
We should create a pleasing smell in our life to the Lord.

Ecclesiastes 9:18 KJV 18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. AKJV 18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroys much good.
These are my thoughts. Wisdom can win wars without much fighting, if we are wise then we let God carry us into our fight with own flesh and against sin.

These are my thoughts. Often times to hear wise words, we need to slow down to listen.

AKJV 16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
These are my thoughts.
We should know that true wisdom is strength instead of despising wisdom.

AKJV 15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
These are my thoughts.
We can do great things with wisdom but this doesn’t mean we will be remembered.

These are my thoughts. We have the greatest King and He wants to build up the city with us.

Ecclesiastes 9:12 KJV 12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. AKJV 12 For man also knows not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.
These are my thoughts. We don’t know how much time or will happen during our times many things are out of our control but God knows and He is in full control.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV 11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. AKJV 11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all.
These are my thoughts. We don’t have to leave things up to time and chance because we can trust them to the Lord.

AKJV 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, where you go.
These are my thoughts. We should instead act in the Lord’s will and the power we get from relying on Him.

AKJV 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of the life of your vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all the days of your vanity: for that is your portion in this life, and in your labor which you take under the sun.
These are my thoughts. Many marriages don’t work very well because they aren’t happy with each other, a wife is meant to be a blessing.

We should live in joy when we have our lives for the Lord.

AKJV 5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
These are my thoughts. We have only a life span to deal with death, after death it will be too late.

KJV 1 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.

AKJV 17 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yes farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

These are my thoughts. We are also to apply ourselves to wisdom, His teaching, the scripture and make His business what we are about.

AKJV 15 Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labor the days of his life, which God gives him under the sun.

KJV 14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

AKJV 13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he fears not before God.
These are my thoughts. The wicked days will be short because eternity of judgment is forever. We need to cling to the grace of the Lord and have a fear for Him.
