Ecclesiastes 7

1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

[is] good A name more than ointment good and [the] day of death more than [the] day of being born he.

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

[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 by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

[is] good Vexation more than laughter for by sadness of face it will be good a heart.

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

[the] heart of Wise people [is] in a house of mourning and [the] heart of fools [is] in a house of gladness.

5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man 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 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

For like [the] sound of thorns under the pot so [the] laughter of the fool and also this [is] futility.

7 Surely oppression makes a wise man mad; and a gift destroys the heart.

For oppression it will make look foolish a wise [person] so it may destroy a heart a bribe.

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

[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 Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

May not you be hasty in spirit your to become angry for anger in [the] bosom of fools it settles.

10 Say not you, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

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 with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

[is] good Wisdom with an inheritance and [is] an advantage to [those who] see the sun.

12 For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom gives life to them that have it.

For [is] a shade wisdom [is] a shade money and [the] advantage of knowledge wisdom it preserves alive owners its.

13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he has made crooked?

Consider [the] work of God for who? is he able to straighten [that] which he has bent it.

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also has set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

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 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongs his life in his wickedness.

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 Be not righteous over much; neither make yourself over wise: why should you destroy yourself?

May not you be righteous greatly and may not you make yourself wise excess why? will you destroy yourself.

17 Be not over much wicked, neither be you foolish: why should you 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 It is good that you should take hold of this; yes, also from this withdraw not your hand: for he that fears God shall come forth of them all.

[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 strengthens the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

Wisdom it gives strength to the wise [person] more than ten rulers who they are in the city.

20 For there is not a just man on earth, that does good, and sins not.

For a person there not [is] righteous [person] on the earth who he does good and not he sins.

21 Also take no heed to all words that are spoken; lest you hear your servant curse 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 oftentimes also your own heart knows that you yourself likewise have cursed others.

For also times many it knows heart your that also (you *Q(K)*) you have cursed others.

23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

All this I have put to [the] test by wisdom I said let me be wise and it [was] far from me.

24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?

[is] far away Whatever [that] which has been and deep - deep who? will he find out it.

25 I applied my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

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 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

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 Behold, this have I found, says the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:

Consider this I have found she said Teacher one to one to find an explanation.

28 Which yet my soul seeks, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

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 See, this only have I found, that God has made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

Only consider this I have found that he made God humankind upright and they they have sought schemes many.
