¹² Who `is' the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?

¹⁰ for `he who is willing to love life, and to see good days, let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips -- not to speak guile;

¹¹ let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it;

¹² because the eyes of the Lord `are' upon the righteous, and His ears -- to their supplication, and the face of the Lord `is' upon those doing evil;'

¹³ The end of the whole matter let us hear: -- `Fear God, and keep His commands, for this `is' the whole of man.

¹³ yea, even every man who eateth and hath drunk and seen good by all his labour, it `is' a gift of God.

³ I have sought in my heart to draw out with wine my appetite, (and my heart leading in wisdom), and to take hold on folly till that I see where `is' this -- the good to the sons of man of that which they do under the heavens, the number of the days of their lives.

¹⁶ With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

⁴ Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.

⁶ Many are saying, `Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,

⁷ Remember Thou that my life `is' a breath, Mine eye turneth not back to see good.

²⁰ to love Jehovah thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He `is' thy life, and the length of thy days), to dwell on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.'

² so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.
