¹⁰ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

²³ And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

¹¹ Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

¹⁶ Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

²⁶ I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

²⁴ Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

¹³ And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

¹⁸ For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

¹⁹ The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
