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 perfume, and the day of one's death than the day of his 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 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 for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise than 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 a 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 the gain of oppression maketh a wise man foolish, and a gift corrupteth the understanding.
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 its beginning. Better is the patient in spirit 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, “What is the cause that the former days were better than these?” For thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.
11 [is] good Wisdom with an inheritance and [is] an advantage to [those who] see the sun.
Wisdom is as good as an estate? yea, it hath an advantage over it for 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 knowledge hath the advantage. For 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! Who can make straight that 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 look for a day of adversity! for this also, as well as the other, hath God appointed, to the end that a man should not find out any thing which shall be 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 this have I seen in my days of vanity. There are righteous men who perish in their righteousness, and there are wicked men who live long in their wickedness.
16 May not you be righteous greatly and may not you make yourself wise excess why? will you destroy yourself.
Be not righteous overmuch; 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 overmuch wicked; neither be thou a fool! Why shouldst 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 shouldst take hold of this; yea, also, from that withdraw not thy hand. For he that feareth God shall escape all those things.
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 who are in the city.
20 For a person there not [is] righteous [person] on the earth who he does good and not he sins.
Truly there is not a righteous man upon the earth who 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.
Give no heed to all the words which 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 many times thine own heart knoweth also that even thou thyself 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 tried 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 my mind earnestly to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom and intelligence, and to know wickedness and folly, yea, 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 found more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands bands. He that pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be caught 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, putting one thing to another to find knowledge.
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.
That which my soul hath hitherto sought, and I have not found, is this: a man among a thousand I have found, but a woman among a thousand 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 made man upright, but they have sought out many devices.
