 9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. 10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. 
 
11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one shepherd.[b] 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. 
 
Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. 
 
13 Now all has been heard; 
 here is the conclusion of the matter: 
Fear God and keep his commandments, 
 for this is the duty of all mankind. 
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, 
 including every hidden thing, 
 whether it is good or evil.

 11:7 Truly the light is sweet, 
And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun; 
8 But if a man lives many years 
And rejoices in them all, 
Yet let him remember the days of darkness, 
For they will be many. 
All that is coming is vanity. 
 
9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, 
And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; 
Walk in the ways of your heart, 
And in the sight of your eyes; 
But know that for all these 
God will bring you into judgement. 
10 Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, 
And put away evil from your flesh, 
For childhood and youth are vanity. 
 
12:1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, 
Before the difficult days come, 
And the years draw near when you say, 
“I have no pleasure in them”: 
 
2 While the sun and the light, 
The moon and the stars, 
Are not darkened, 
And the clouds do not return after the rain; 
 
3 In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, 
And the strong men bow down; 
When the grinders cease because they are few, 
And those that look through the windows grow dim; 
 
4 When the doors are shut in the streets, 
And the sound of grinding is low; 
When one rises up at the sound of a bird, 
And all the daughters of music are brought low. 
 
5 Also they are afraid of height, 
And of terrors in the way; 
When the almond tree blossoms, 
The grasshopper is a burden, 
And desire fails. 
For man goes to his eternal home, 
And the mourners go about the streets. 
 
6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, 
Or the golden bowl is broken, 
Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, 
Or the wheel broken at the well. 
7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, 
And the spirit will return to God who gave it. 
 
8 “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, 
“All is vanity.”

Today's passage is Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 
11 Cast your bread upon the waters, 
For you will find it after many days. 
2 Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, 
For you do not know what evil will be on the earth. 
 
3 If the clouds are full of rain, 
They empty themselves upon the earth; 
And if a tree falls to the south or the north, 
In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie. 
4 He who observes the wind will not sow, 
And he who regards the clouds will not reap. 
 
5 As you do not know what is the way of the [a]wind, 
Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, 
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything. 
6 In the morning sow your seed, 
And in the evening do not withhold your hand; 
For you do not know which will prosper, 
Either this or that, 
Or whether both alike will be good.

Ecclesiastes 9:1 So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God’s hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them. 2 All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. 
 
As it is with the good, 
    so with the sinful; 
as it is with those who take oaths, 
    so with those who are afraid to take them. 
 
3 This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead. 4 Anyone who is among the living has hope—even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! 
 
5 For the living know that they will die, 
    but the dead know nothing; 
they have no further reward, 
    and even their name is forgotten. 
6 Their love, their hate 
    and their jealousy have long since vanished; 
never again will they have a part 
    in anything that happens under the sun. 
 
7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. 8 Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. 9 Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labour under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. 
 
11 I have seen something else under the sun: 
 
The race is not to the swift 
    or the battle to the strong, 
nor does food come to the wise 
    or wealth to the brilliant 
    or favour to the learned; 
but time and chance happen to them all. 
 
12 Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: 
 
As fish are caught in a cruel net, 
    or birds are taken in a snare, 
so people are trapped by evil times 
    that fall unexpectedly upon them.

Sunday 21st of February 2021 - Ecclesiastes 9:1-12

Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:26 
1:12 I the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid on men! 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.15 What is twisted cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted. 16 I thought to myself, "Look, I have grown and increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge." 17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. 18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief. 
 
2:1 I thought in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good." But that also proved to be meaningless. 2 "Laughter," I said, "is foolish. And what does pleasure accomplish?" 3 I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly-my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives. 
4 I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. 5 I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. 6 I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees. 7 I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me. 8 I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired men and women singers, and a harem as well-the delights of the heart of man. 
9 I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me. 10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labour. 
11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. 12 Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly. What more can the king's successor do than what has already been done? 13 I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness. 14 The wise man has eyes in his head, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both. 15 Then I thought in my heart, "The fate of the fool will overtake me also. What then do I gain by being wise?" I said in my heart, "This too is meaningless." 16 For the wise man, like the fool, will not be long remembered; in days to come both will be forgotten. Like the fool, the wise man too must die! 17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 18 I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. 19 And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. 20 So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labour under the sun. 
21 For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then he must leave all he owns to someone who has not worked for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. 
22 What does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labours under the sun? 23 All his days his work is pain and grief; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is meaningless. 
24 A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? 26 To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Matthew 2:1-12 
 
2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 
 
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: 
 
6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, 
 are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; 
for out of you will come a ruler 
 who will shepherd my people Israel.’ 
 
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” 
 
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

9 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written: 
 
“There is no one righteous, not even one; 
11 there is no one who understands; 
 there is no one who seeks God. 
12 All have turned away, 
 they have together become worthless; 
there is no one who does good, 
 not even one.”[a] 
13 “Their throats are open graves; 
 their tongues practice deceit.”[b] 
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[c] 
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[d] 
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood; 
16 ruin and misery mark their ways, 
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[e] 
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[f] 
 
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

Genesis 1:3-25 
 
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 
6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. 
11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. 
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. 
20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. 
24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
