Ecclesiastes 7
1 pleasant name from oil pleasant and day [the] death from day to beget he
A good name is better than precious oil, and the day of death, better than the day of one's birth.
2 pleasant to/for to go: went to(wards) house: home mourning from to go: went to(wards) house: home feast in/on/with in which he/she/it end all [the] man and [the] alive to give: put to(wards) heart his
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; inasmuch as that is the end of all men: and let the living lay it to his heart.
3 pleasant vexation from laughter for in/on/with evil face be good heart
Better is vexation than laughing; for through the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4 heart wise in/on/with house: home mourning and heart fool in/on/with house: home joy
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of joy.
5 pleasant to/for to hear: hear rebuke wise from man: anyone to hear: hear song fool
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than that a man should hear the song of fools.
6 for like/as voice: sound [the] thorn underneath: under [the] pot so laughter [the] fool and also this vanity
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. Also this is vanity.
7 for [the] oppression to boast: rave madly wise and to perish [obj] heart gift
For [exercising] oppression maketh a wise man mad; and bribery corrupteth the heart.
8 pleasant end word: thing from first: beginning his pleasant slow spirit from high spirit
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: better is the patient in spirit than the proud in spirit.
9 not to dismay in/on/with spirit: temper your to/for to provoke for vexation in/on/with bosom: embrace fool to rest
Be not rash in thy spirit to be angry; for anger resteth in bosom of fools.
10 not to say what? to be which/that [the] day [the] first: previous to be pleasant from these for not from wisdom to ask upon this
Thou must not say, How was it that the former days were better than these? for it is not out of wisdom that thou askest concerning this.
11 pleasant wisdom with inheritance and advantage to/for to see: see [the] sun
Wisdom is better than an inheritance, yea, preferable for those that see the sun;
12 for in/on/with shadow [the] wisdom in/on/with shadow [the] silver: money and advantage knowledge [the] wisdom to live master: owning her
For under the shadow of wisdom [a man is equally well as] under the shadow of money; but the superior excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to him that possesseth it.
13 to see: examine [obj] deed: work [the] God for who? be able to/for be straight [obj] which to pervert him
Consider [then] the work of God; for who can make straight what he hath made crooked?
14 in/on/with day welfare to be in/on/with good and in/on/with day distress: harm to see: examine also [obj] this to/for close this to make [the] God upon cause which/that not to find [the] man after him anything
On the day of prosperity be happy, but on the day of adversity look on: also this hath God made in equal measure with the other, to the end that man should not find the least to censure him.
15 [obj] [the] all to see: see in/on/with day vanity my there righteous to perish in/on/with righteousness his and there wicked to prolong in/on/with distress: evil his
All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is many a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is many a wicked man that liveth long in his wickedness.—
16 not to be righteous to multiply and not be wise advantage to/for what? be desolate: destroyed
Be not righteous over much; neither show thyself over wise: why wouldst thou destroy thyself?
17 not be wicked to multiply and not to be fool to/for what? to die in/on/with not time your
Be not wicked over much, and be no fool: why wouldst thou die before thy time?
18 pleasant which to grasp in/on/with this and also from this not to rest [obj] hand your for afraid God to come out: come [obj] all their
It is good that thou shouldst take hold of that, and that also from this thou withdraw not thy hand; for he that feareth God will come forth out of them all.
19 [the] wisdom be strong to/for wise from ten domineering which to be in/on/with city
Wisdom giveth more strength to the wise than ten rulers which were in the city.
20 for man nothing righteous in/on/with land: country/planet which to make: do good and not to sin
For no man is so righteous upon earth, that he should do always good, and never sin.—
21 also to/for all [the] word: thing which to speak: speak not to give: put heart your which not to hear: hear [obj] servant/slave your to lighten you
Also take no heed unto all the words that are spoken: lest thou hear thy servant cursing thee.
22 for also beat many to know heart your which also (you(m. s.) *Q(K)*) to lighten another
For oftentimes also doth thy own heart know that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.—
23 all this to test in/on/with wisdom to say be wise and he/she/it distant from me
All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
24 distant what? which/that to be and deep deep who? to find him
Far is what formerly was so, and what was deep remaineth deep: who can find it out?
25 to turn: turn I and heart my to/for to know and to/for to spy and to seek wisdom and explanation and to/for to know wickedness loin and [the] folly madness
Then I turned myself about together with my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and experience, and to know the wickedness of folly, and the foolishness of madness.
26 and to find I bitter from death [obj] [the] woman which he/she/it net and net heart her bond hand her pleasant to/for face: before [the] God to escape from her and to sin to capture in/on/with her
And I find as more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bonds: he that is deemed good before God will escape from her; but the sinner will be caught by her.
27 to see: behold! this to find to say preacher one to/for one to/for to find explanation
Behold, this have I found, saith Koheleth, [adding] one to the other, to find experience,
28 which still to seek soul my and not to find man one from thousand to find and woman in/on/with all these not to find
What my soul constantly sought, but I found it not; one man among a thousand did I find; but a woman among all these did I not find.
29 to/for alone to see: behold! this to find which to make [the] God [obj] [the] man upright and they(masc.) to seek invention many
Lo, this only did I find, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought for many [sinful] devices.
