Ecclesiastes 7
1 [is] good A name more than ointment good and [the] day of death more than [the] day of being born he.
A good name is better than precious ointments, and a day of death is better than a day of birth.
2 [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.
It is better to go to a house of mourning, than to a house of feasting. For in the former, we are admonished about the end of all things, so that the living consider what may be in the future.
3 [is] good Vexation more than laughter for by sadness of face it will be good a heart.
Anger is better than laughter. For through the sadness of the countenance, the soul of one who offends may be corrected.
4 [the] heart of Wise people [is] in a house of mourning and [the] heart of fools [is] in a house of gladness.
The heart of the wise is a place of mourning, and the heart of the foolish is a place of rejoicing.
5 [is] good To listen to [the] rebuke of a wise [person] more than someone [who] listens to [the] song of fools.
It is better to be corrected by a wise man, than to be deceived by the false praise of the foolish.
6 For like [the] sound of thorns under the pot so [the] laughter of the fool and also this [is] futility.
For, like the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so is the laughter of the foolish. But this, too, is emptiness.
7 For oppression it will make look foolish a wise [person] so it may destroy a heart a bribe.
A false accusation troubles the wise man and saps the strength of his heart.
8 [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.
The end of a speech is better than the beginning. Patience is better than arrogance.
9 May not you be hasty in spirit your to become angry for anger in [the] bosom of fools it settles.
Do not be quickly moved to anger. For anger resides in the sinews of the foolish.
10 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.
You should not say: “What do you think is the reason that the former times were better than they are now?” For this type of question is foolish.
11 [is] good Wisdom with an inheritance and [is] an advantage to [those who] see the sun.
Wisdom with riches is more useful and more advantageous, for those who see the sun.
12 For [is] a shade wisdom [is] a shade money and [the] advantage of knowledge wisdom it preserves alive owners its.
For as wisdom protects, so also does money protect. But learning and wisdom have this much more: that they grant life to one who possesses them.
13 Consider [the] work of God for who? is he able to straighten [that] which he has bent it.
Consider the works of God, that no one is able to correct whomever he has despised.
14 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.
In good times, enjoy good things, but beware of an evil time. For just as God has established the one, so also the other, in order that man may not find any just complaint against him.
15 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.
I also saw this, in the days of my vanity: a just man perishing in his justice, and an impious man living a long time in his malice.
16 May not you be righteous greatly and may not you make yourself wise excess why? will you destroy yourself.
Do not try to be overly just, and do not try to be more wise than is necessary, lest you become stupid.
17 May not you be wicked greatly and may not you be a fool why? will you die at not time your.
Do not act with great impiety, and do not choose to be foolish, lest you die before your time.
18 [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.
It is good for you to support a just man. Furthermore, you should not withdraw your hand from him, for whoever fears God, neglects nothing.
19 Wisdom it gives strength to the wise [person] more than ten rulers who they are in the city.
Wisdom has strengthened the wise more than ten princes of a city.
20 For a person there not [is] righteous [person] on the earth who he does good and not he sins.
But there is no just man on earth, who does good and does not sin.
21 Also to all the words which people speak may not you give heart your that not you will hear servant your cursing you.
So then, do not attach your heart to every word that is spoken, lest perhaps you may hear your servant speaking ill of you.
22 For also times many it knows heart your that also (you *Q(K)*) you have cursed others.
For your conscience knows that you, too, have repeatedly spoken evil of others.
23 All this I have put to [the] test by wisdom I said let me be wise and it [was] far from me.
I have tested everything in wisdom. I have said: “I will be wise.” And wisdom withdrew farther from me,
24 [is] far away Whatever [that] which has been and deep - deep who? will he find out it.
so much more than it was before. Wisdom is very profound, so who shall reveal her?
25 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.
I have examined all things in my soul, so that I may know, and consider, and seek out wisdom and reason, and so that I may recognize the impiety of the foolish, and the error of the imprudent.
26 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.
And I have discovered a woman more bitter than death: she who is like the snare of a hunter, and whose heart is like a net, and whose hands are like chains. Whoever pleases God shall flee from her. But whoever is a sinner shall be seized by her.
27 Consider this I have found she said Teacher one to one to find an explanation.
Behold, Ecclesiastes said, I have discovered these things, one after another, in order that I might discover the explanation
28 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.
which my soul still seeks and has not found. One man among a thousand, I have found; a woman among them all, I have not found.
29 Only consider this I have found that he made God humankind upright and they they have sought schemes many.
This alone have I discovered: that God made man righteous, and yet he has adulterated himself with innumerable questions. Who is so great as the wise? And who has understood the meaning of the word?
