Ecclesiastes 7
-
1 Better
is a name than good perfume, And the day of death than the day of birth. -
2 Better to go unto a house of mourning, Than to go unto a house of banqueting, For that is the end of all men, And the living layeth
it unto his heart. -
3 Better
is sorrow than laughter, For by the sadness of the face the heart becometh better. -
4 The heart of the wise
is in a house of mourning, And the heart of fools in a house of mirth. -
5 Better to hear a rebuke of a wise man, Than
for a man to hear a song of fools, -
6 For as the noise of thorns under the pot, So
is the laughter of a fool, even this is vanity. - 7 Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth the heart.
-
8 Better
is the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better is the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit. - 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, For anger in the bosom of fools resteth.
- 10 Say not thou, `What was it, That the former days were better than these?' For thou hast not asked wisely of this.
-
11 Wisdom
is good with an inheritance, And an advantage it is to those beholding the sun. -
12 For wisdom
is a defense, money is a defence, And the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom is , She reviveth her possessors. - 13 See the work of God, For who is able to make straight that which He made crooked?
- 14 In a day of prosperity be in gladness, And in a day of evil consider. Also this over-against that hath God made, To the intent that man doth not find anything after him.
-
15 The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrong-doer prolonging
himself in his wrong. - 16 Be not over-righteous, nor show thyself too wise, why art thou desolate?
- 17 Do not much wrong, neither be thou a fool, why dost thou die within thy time?
-
18
It is good that thou dost lay hold on this, and also, from that withdrawest not thy hand, for whoso is fearing God goeth out with them all. - 19 The wisdom giveth strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city.
- 20 Because there is not a righteous man on earth that doth good and sinneth not.
- 21 Also to all the words that they speak give not thy heart, that thou hear not thy servant reviling thee.
- 22 For many times also hath thy heart known that thou thyself also hast reviled others.
-
23 All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, `I am wise,' and it
is far from me. -
24 Far off
is that which hath been, and deep, deep, who doth find it? - 25 I have turned round, also my heart, to know and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and reason, and to know the wrong of folly, and of foolishness the madness.
-
26 And I am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart
is nets and snares, her hands are bands; the good before God escapeth from her, but the sinner is captured by her. - 27 See, this I have found, said the Preacher, one to one, to find out the reason
- 28 (that still my soul had sought, and I had not found), One man, a teacher, I have found, and a woman among all these I have not found.
- 29 See, this alone I have found, that God made man upright, and they--they have sought out many devices.
