< Ecclesiastes 7 >
1 A good name is better than good oil; and the day of death than the day of 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 banquet house: since this is the end of every man; and the living man will apply good [warning] 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 will be 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 a reproof of a wise man, 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 As the sound of thorns under a caldron, so is the laughter of fools: this is also vanity.
For like [the] sound of thorns under the pot so [the] laughter of the fool and also this [is] futility.
7 for oppression makes a wise man mad, and destroys his noble heart.
For oppression it will make look foolish a wise [person] so it may destroy a heart a bribe.
8 The end of a matter is better than the beginning thereof: the patient is better than the high-minded.
[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 will rest 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, What has happened, that the former days were better than these? for you do not enquire in wisdom 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 [there is] an advantage [by it] 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 in its shadow is as the shadow of silver: and the excellence of the knowledge of wisdom will give life to him that has it.
For [is] a shade wisdom [is] a shade money and [the] advantage of knowledge wisdom it preserves alive owners its.
13 Behold the works of God: for who shall be able to straighten him whom God 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 live joyfully, and consider in the day of adversity: consider, [I say], God also has caused the one to agree with the other for [this] reason, 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 I have seen all things in the days of my vanity: there is a just man perishing in his justice, and there is an ungodly man remaining 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 very just; neither be very wise: lest you be confounded.
May not you be righteous greatly and may not you make yourself wise excess why? will you destroy yourself.
17 Be not very wicked; and be not stubborn: lest you should 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 well for you to hold fast by this; also by this defile not your hand: for to them that fear God all things shall come forth [well].
[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 will help the wise man 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 righteous man in the earth, who will do good, and not sin
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 the words which ungodly men shall speak; lest you hear your servant cursing 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 many times he shall trespass against you, and repeatedly shall he afflict your heart; for thus also have you cursed others.
For also times many it knows heart your that also (you *Q(K)*) you have cursed others.
23 All these things have I proved in 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 beyond what was, and a great depth, who shall find it out?
[is] far away Whatever [that] which has been and deep - deep who? will he find out it.
25 I and my heart went round about to know, and to examine, and to seek wisdom, and the account [of things], and to know the folly and trouble and madness of the ungodly man.
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 her [to be], and I will pronounce [to be] more bitter than death the woman which is a snare, and her heart nets, [who has] a band in her hands: [he that is] good in the sight of God shall be delivered from her; but the sinner shall be caught 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, said the Preacher, [seeking] by one at a time to find out the account,
Consider this I have found she said Teacher one to one to find an explanation.
28 which my soul sought after, but I found not: for I have found one man of a thousand; but a woman in all these I have 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 But, behold, this have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many devices.
Only consider this I have found that he made God humankind upright and they they have sought schemes many.
