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 ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s 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 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.
3 [is] good Vexation more than laughter for by sadness of face it will be good a heart.
Sorrow [is] better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
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] in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools [is] in the house of mirth.
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 hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
6 For like [the] sound of thorns under the pot so [the] laughter of the fool and also this [is] futility.
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so [is] the laughter of the fool: this also [is] vanity.
7 For oppression it will make look foolish a wise [person] so it may destroy a heart a bribe.
Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the 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.
Better [is] the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than the proud in spirit.
9 May not you be hasty in spirit your to become angry for anger in [the] bosom of fools it settles.
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
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.
Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
11 [is] good Wisdom with an inheritance and [is] an advantage to [those who] see the sun.
Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance: and [by it there is] profit to them that 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 wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money [is] a defence: but the excellency of knowledge [is, that] wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
13 Consider [the] work of God for who? is he able to straighten [that] which he has bent it.
Consider the work of God: for who can make [that] straight, which he hath made crooked?
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 the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after 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.
All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness.
16 May not you be righteous greatly and may not you make yourself wise excess why? will you destroy yourself.
Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
17 May not you be wicked greatly and may not you be a fool why? will you die at not time your.
Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy 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 that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.
19 Wisdom it gives strength to the wise [person] more than ten rulers who they are in the city.
Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty [men] which are in the city.
20 For a person there not [is] righteous [person] on the earth who he does good and not he sins.
For [there is] not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
21 Also to all the words which people speak may not you give heart your that not you will hear servant your cursing you.
Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:
22 For also times many it knows heart your that also (you *Q(K)*) you have cursed others.
For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
23 All this I have put to [the] test by wisdom I said let me be wise and it [was] far from me.
All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it [was] far from me.
24 [is] far away Whatever [that] which has been and deep - deep who? will he find out it.
That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
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 applied mine 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:
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 find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart [is] snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
27 Consider this I have found she said Teacher one to one to find an explanation.
Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, [counting] one by one, to find out the account:
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 yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
29 Only consider this I have found that he made God humankind upright and they they have sought schemes many.
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
