My NIV study Bible does not have but 12 chapters in the book of Ecclesiastes and I am looking for chapter 43: 11-26 read at Prince Phillips funeral. Please reply.
As someone else asked a question "why were these verses read" which I cannot say. Though I very much like the chapter in that book of Ecclesiasticus 43(link for you). Which is not Ecclesiastes but that the names are so close it is not hard to get confuse the two.
Ecclesiasticus is a Apocrypha book and has been removed from most Bibles. Though on this site, on the bottom, there is a link to them all.
God Bless.
Ecclesiasticus 43:30-33. When ye glorify the Lord, exalt Him as much as ye can; for even yet will He far exceed: and when ye exalt Him, put forth all your strength, and be not weary; for ye can never go far enough.
Who hath seen Him, that he might tell us? and who can magnify Him as He is?
There are yet hid greater things than these be, for we have seen but a few of his works.
For the Lord hath made all things; and to the godly hath he given wisdom.
