< Ecclesiastes 7 >

1 A good name is better than costly perfume, and the day of death is better 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 It is better to go to a house of mourning than to a house of feasting, for mourning comes to all people at the end of life, so living people must take this to 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 Grief is better than laughter, for after sadness of face comes gladness of heart.
[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 the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of feasting.
[the] heart of Wise people [is] in a house of mourning and [the] heart of fools [is] in a house of gladness.
5 It is better to listen to the rebuke of the wise than to listen to the 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 like the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so also is the laughter of fools. This, too, is vapor.
For like [the] sound of thorns under the pot so [the] laughter of the fool and also this [is] futility.
7 Extortion certainly makes a wise man foolish, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
For oppression it will make look foolish a wise [person] so it may destroy a heart a bribe.
8 Better is the end of a matter than the beginning; and the people patient in spirit are better than the proud in 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 quick to anger in your spirit, for anger resides in the hearts of fools.
May not you be hasty in spirit your to become angry for anger in [the] bosom of fools it settles.
10 Do not say, “Why were the days of old better than these?” For it is not because of wisdom that you ask this question.
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, like an inheritance, is good. It benefits those who see the sun.
[is] good Wisdom with an inheritance and [is] an advantage to [those who] see the sun.
12 For wisdom provides protection as money can provide protection, but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to whoever has it.
For [is] a shade wisdom [is] a shade money and [the] advantage of knowledge wisdom it preserves alive owners its.
13 Consider the deeds of God: Who can straighten out anything he has made crooked?
Consider [the] work of God for who? is he able to straighten [that] which he has bent it.
14 When times are good, live happily in that good, but when times are bad, consider this: God has allowed both to exist side by side. For this reason, no one will find out anything that is coming 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 I have seen many things in my meaningless days. There are righteous people who perish in spite of their righteousness, and there are wicked people who live a long life in spite of their evil.
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 self-righteous, wise in your own eyes. Why should you destroy yourself?
May not you be righteous greatly and may not you make yourself wise excess why? will you destroy yourself.
17 Do not be too wicked or foolish. Why should you die before 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 should take hold of this wisdom, and that you should not let go of righteousness. For the person who fears God will meet all his obligations.
[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 Wisdom is powerful in the wise man, more than ten rulers in a city.
Wisdom it gives strength to the wise [person] more than ten rulers who they are in the city.
20 There is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
For a person there not [is] righteous [person] on the earth who he does good and not he sins.
21 Do not listen to every word that is spoken, because you might hear your servant curse 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 Similarly, you know yourself that in your own heart you have often cursed others.
For also times many it knows heart your that also (you *Q(K)*) you have cursed others.
23 All this have I proven by wisdom. I said, “I will be wise,” but it was more than I could be.
All this I have put to [the] test by wisdom I said let me be wise and it [was] far from me.
24 Wisdom is far off and very deep. Who can find it?
[is] far away Whatever [that] which has been and deep - deep who? will he find out it.
25 I turned my heart to learn and examine and seek wisdom and the explanations of reality, and to understand that evil is stupid and that folly is madness.
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 I found that more bitter than death is any woman whose heart is full of snares and nets, and whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God will escape from her, but the sinner will be taken 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 “Consider what I have discovered,” says the Teacher. “I have been adding one discovery to another in order to find an explanation of reality.
Consider this I have found she said Teacher one to one to find an explanation.
28 This is what I am still looking for, but I have not found it. I did find one righteous man among a thousand, but a woman among all those I did not find.
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 I have discovered only this: That God created humanity upright, but they have gone away looking for many difficulties.”
Only consider this I have found that he made God humankind upright and they they have sought schemes many.
