< Ecclesiastes 7 >

1 Better [is] a name than good perfume, 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 Better to go to a house of mourning, Than to go to a house of banqueting, For that is the end of all men, And the living lays [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 Better [is] sorrow than laughter, For by the sadness of the face the heart becomes 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 a house of mourning, And the heart of fools in a 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 Better to hear a rebuke of a wise man, Than [for] a man to hear a 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 noise of thorns under the pot, So [is] the laughter of a fool, even this [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 the wise 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 latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better [is] the patient of spirit, than the haughty of 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 Do not be hasty in your spirit to be angry, For anger in the bosom of fools rests.
May not you be hasty in spirit your to become angry for anger in [the] bosom of fools it settles.
10 Do not say, “What was it, That the former days were better than these?” For you have not asked wisely of 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 an advantage [it is] to those beholding the sun.
[is] good Wisdom with an inheritance and [is] an advantage to [those who] see the sun.
12 For wisdom [is] a defense, money [is] a defense, And the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom [is], She revives her possessors.
For [is] a shade wisdom [is] a shade money and [the] advantage of knowledge wisdom it preserves alive owners its.
13 See the work of God, For who is able to make straight that which He made crooked?
Consider [the] work of God for who? is he able to straighten [that] which he has bent it.
14 In a day of prosperity be in gladness, And in a day of calamity consider: God has also made this alongside of that, To the intent that man does not find anything 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 The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrongdoer prolonging [himself] in his wrong.
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 Do not be over-righteous, nor show yourself too wise, why are you desolate?
May not you be righteous greatly and may not you make yourself wise excess why? will you destroy yourself.
17 Do not do much wrong, neither be a fool, why do you die within 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 lay hold on this, and also, do not withdraw your hand from that, for whoever is fearing God goes out with 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 The wisdom gives strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city.
Wisdom it gives strength to the wise [person] more than ten rulers who they are in the city.
20 Because there is not a righteous man on earth that does good and does not sin.
For a person there not [is] righteous [person] on the earth who he does good and not he sins.
21 Also to all the words that they speak do not give your heart, that you do not hear your servant reviling 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 also has your heart known that you yourself have also reviled others.
For also times many it knows heart your that also (you *Q(K)*) you have cursed others.
23 All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, “I am wise,” and it [is] 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 Far off [is] that which has been, and deep, deep, who finds it?
[is] far away Whatever [that] which has been and deep - deep who? will he find out it.
25 I have turned around, also my heart, to know and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and reason, and to know the wrong of folly, and the madness of foolishness.
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 am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart [is] nets and snares, her hands [are] bands; the good before God escapes from her, but the sinner is captured 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 See, this I have found, said the Preacher, one to one, to find out the reason
Consider this I have found she said Teacher one to one to find an explanation.
28 (that still my soul had sought, and I had not found), One man, a teacher, I have found, and a woman among 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 See, this alone I have found, that God made man upright, and 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.
