Ecclesiastes 7
1 A good reputation is better than expensive perfume, and the day you die is better than the day you were born.
[is] good A name more than ointment good and [the] day of death more than [the] day of being born he.
2 It's better to go to a funeral than to a party. In the end, everyone dies, and those who are still alive should think about it.
[is] good To go to a house of mourning more than to go to a house of a feast in that this [is] [the] end of every person and the living person he will give to heart his.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for tragedy helps us by making us think.
[is] good Vexation more than laughter for by sadness of face it will be good a heart.
4 Wise people think about the impact of death, while those who are fools only think about having a good time.
[the] heart of Wise people [is] in a house of mourning and [the] heart of fools [is] in a house of gladness.
5 It's better to listen to criticism from a wise person than to hear the song of fools.
[is] good To listen to [the] rebuke of a wise [person] more than someone [who] listens to [the] song of fools.
6 The laughter of fools is like the crackling of thorn twigs burning under a pot—without sense and quickly over.
For like [the] sound of thorns under the pot so [the] laughter of the fool and also this [is] futility.
7 Extorting money from others makes wise people into fools, and accepting bribes corrupts the mind.
For oppression it will make look foolish a wise [person] so it may destroy a heart a bribe.
8 Completing something is better than starting it. Being patient is better than being proud.
[is] good [the] end of A matter more than beginning its [is] good a [person] patient of spirit more than a [person] proud of spirit.
9 Don't be quick to get angry, for anger controls the minds of fools.
May not you be hasty in spirit your to become angry for anger in [the] bosom of fools it settles.
10 Don't ask, “Why were the good old days better than now?” Asking such questions shows you are not wise.
May not you say why? was it that the days former they were good more than these for not from wisdom you have asked on this.
11 Wisdom is good—it's like receiving an inheritance. It benefits everyone in life.
[is] good Wisdom with an inheritance and [is] an advantage to [those who] see the sun.
12 For wisdom provides security, as does money, but the advantage for those who have wisdom is that they are kept safe and sound!
For [is] a shade wisdom [is] a shade money and [the] advantage of knowledge wisdom it preserves alive owners its.
13 Think about what God does. If he makes something bent, you can't straighten it!
Consider [the] work of God for who? is he able to straighten [that] which he has bent it.
14 On a good day, be happy. When a bad day comes, stop and think. God made each day, so you don't know what will happen to you next.
On a day of good be in good and on a day of adversity consider also this exactly as this he has made God on reason that not he will find out humankind after him anything.
15 Throughout my life I've seen so much that is hard to understand. Good people who die young despite doing what is right, and wicked people who live long evil lives.
Everything I have seen in [the] days of futility my there [is] a righteous [person] [who] perishes in righteousness his and there [is] a wicked [person] [who] prolongs in evil his.
16 Don't think you can make yourself right by a lot of religious observance, and don't pretend to be so wise. Do you want to destroy yourself?
May not you be righteous greatly and may not you make yourself wise excess why? will you destroy yourself.
17 On the other hand, don't decide to live an evil life—don't be a fool! Why die before your time?
May not you be wicked greatly and may not you be a fool why? will you die at not time your.
18 You ought to keep in mind these warnings. Those who follow God will be sure to avoid both.
[is] good That you will take hold on this and also from this may not you give rest to hand your for [one] fearing God he will go out all of them.
19 Wisdom gives a wise person greater power than ten town councilors.
Wisdom it gives strength to the wise [person] more than ten rulers who they are in the city.
20 There's not one good person in all the world who always does what is right and never sins.
For a person there not [is] righteous [person] on the earth who he does good and not he sins.
21 Don't take to heart everything that people say, otherwise you may hear your servant talking badly about you,
Also to all the words which people speak may not you give heart your that not you will hear servant your cursing you.
22 for you know how many times you yourself have talked badly about others!
For also times many it knows heart your that also (you *Q(K)*) you have cursed others.
23 I have examined all this using the principles of wisdom. I told myself, “I will think wisely.” But wisdom eluded me.
All this I have put to [the] test by wisdom I said let me be wise and it [was] far from me.
24 Everything that exists is beyond our grasp—too deep for our understanding. Who can comprehend it?
[is] far away Whatever [that] which has been and deep - deep who? will he find out it.
25 I turned my thoughts to discover, investigate, and to find out more about wisdom and what makes sense. I wanted to know more about how stupid evil really is, and how ridiculous it is to be a fool.
I turned I heart my to know and to examine and to seek wisdom and an explanation and to know wickedness stupidity and the folly madness.
26 I discovered something more horrible than death: foolishness like a woman who tries to entrap you, who wants to use her mind and hands to catch you and tie you up. Those who follow God will not be caught, but sinners will fall into her trap.
And [was] finding I bitter more than death the woman who she [is] snares and [is] nets heart her [are] fetters hands her a [person] good before God he escapes from her and a sinner he is captured by her.
27 This is what I discovered after putting two and two together to try and find out what it all meant, says the Teacher.
Consider this I have found she said Teacher one to one to find an explanation.
28 Although I really searched, I didn't find what I was looking for. People say, “I found one man among a thousand, but not one woman.”
Which again it has sought self my and not I have found a man one of a thousand I have found and a woman among all these not I have found.
29 But I did find this one thing: God made people to do what's right, but they have followed their own ideas.
Only consider this I have found that he made God humankind upright and they they have sought schemes many.
