| Ecl 7:1 | A good name H8034 is better H2896 than precious H2896 ointment; H4480 H8081 and the day H3117 of death H4194 than the day H4480 H3117 of one's birth.H3205 |
| Ecl 7:2 | It is better H2896 to go H1980 to H413 the house H1004 of mourning, H60 than to go H4480 H1980 to H413 the house H1004 of feasting: H4960 for H834 that H1931 is the end H5490 of all H3605 men; H120 and the living H2416 will lay H5414 it to H413 his heart.H3820 |
| Ecl 7:3 | Sorrow H3708 is better H2896 than laughter: H4480 H7814 for H3588 by the sadness H7455 of the countenance H6440 the heart H3820 is made better.H3190 |
| Ecl 7:4 | The heart H3820 of the wise H2450 is in the house H1004 of mourning; H60 but the heart H3820 of fools H3684 is in the house H1004 of mirth.H8057 |
| Ecl 7:5 | It is better H2896 to hear H8085 the rebuke H1606 of the wise, H2450 than for a man H4480 H376 to hear H8085 the song H7892 of fools.H3684 |
| Ecl 7:6 | For H3588 as the crackling H6963 of thorns H5518 under H8478 a pot, H5518 so H3651 is the laughter H7814 of the fool: H3684 this H2088 also H1571 is vanity.H1892 |
| Ecl 7:7 | Surely H3588 oppression H6233 maketh a wise man H2450 mad; H1984 and a gift H4979 destroyeth H6 (H853) the heart.H3820 |
| Ecl 7:8 | Better H2896 is the end H319 of a thing H1697 than the beginning H4480 H7225 thereof: and the patient H750 in spirit H7307 is better H2896 than the proud H4480 H1362 in spirit.H7307 |
| Ecl 7:9 | Be not H408 hasty H926 in thy spirit H7307 to be angry: H3707 for H3588 anger H3708 resteth H5117 in the bosom H2436 of fools.H3684 |
| Ecl 7:10 | Say H559 not H408 thou, What H4100 is H1961 the cause that the former days H7945 H3117 H7223 were H1961 better H2896 than these? H4480 H428 for H3588 thou dost not H3808 enquire H7592 wisely H4480 H2451 concerning H5921 this.H2088 |
| Ecl 7:11 | Wisdom H2451 is good H2896 with H5973 an inheritance: H5159 and by it there is profit H3148 to them that see H7200 the sun.H8121 |
| Ecl 7:12 | For H3588 wisdom H2451 is a defence, H6738 and money H3701 is a defence: H6738 but the excellency H3504 of knowledge H1847 is, that wisdom H2451 giveth life H2421 to them that have H1167 it. |
| Ecl 7:13 | Consider H7200 (H853) the work H4639 of God: H430 for H3588 who H4310 can H3201 make that straight, H8626 (H853) which H834 he hath made crooked?H5791 |
| Ecl 7:14 | In the day H3117 of prosperity H2896 be H1961 joyful, H2896 but in the day H3117 of adversity H7451 consider: H7200 God H430 also H1571 hath set H6213 (H853) the one H2088 over against H5980 the other, H2088 to H5921 the end H1700 that man H120 should find H4672 nothing H7945 H3808 H3972 after H310 him. |
| Ecl 7:15 | (H853) All H3605 things have I seen H7200 in the days H3117 of my vanity: H1892 there is H3426 a just H6662 man that perisheth H6 in his righteousness, H6664 and there is H3426 a wicked H7563 man that prolongeth H748 his life in his wickedness.H7451 |
| Ecl 7:16 | Be H1961 not H408 righteous H6662 over much; H7235 neither H408 make thyself over wise: H2449 H3148 why H4100 shouldest thou destroy thyself?H8074 |
| Ecl 7:17 | Be not H408 over much H7235 wicked, H7561 neither H408 be H1961 thou foolish: H5530 why H4100 shouldest thou die H4191 before H3808 thy time?H6256 |
| Ecl 7:18 | It is good H2896 that H834 thou shouldest take hold H270 of this; H2088 yea, also H1571 from this H4480 H2088 withdraw H5117 not H408 (H853) thine hand: H3027 for H3588 he that feareth H3373 God H430 shall come forth H3318 (H853) of them all.H3605 |
| Ecl 7:19 | Wisdom H2451 strengtheneth H5810 the wise H2450 more than ten H4480 H6235 mighty H7989 men which H834 are H1961 in the city.H5892 |
| Ecl 7:20 | For H3588 there is not H369 a just H6662 man H120 upon earth, H776 that H834 doeth H6213 good, H2896 and sinneth H2398 not.H3808 |
| Ecl 7:21 | Also H1571 take H5414 no H408 heed H3820 unto all H3605 words H1697 that H834 are spoken; H1696 lest H834 H3808 thou hear H8085 (H853) thy servant H5650 curse H7043 thee: |
| Ecl 7:22 | For H3588 oftentimes H7227 H6471 also H1571 thine own heart H3820 knoweth H3045 that H834 thou thyself H859 likewise H1571 hast cursed H7043 others.H312 |
| Ecl 7:23 | All H3605 this H2090 have I proved H5254 by wisdom: H2451 I said, H559 I will be wise; H2449 but it H1931 was far H7350 from H4480 me. |
| Ecl 7:24 | That which is H4100 H7945 H1961 far off, H7350 and exceeding deep, H6013 H6013 who H4310 can find it out?H4672 |
| Ecl 7:25 | I H589 applied H5437 mine heart H3820 to know, H3045 and to search, H8446 and to seek out H1245 wisdom, H2451 and the reason H2808 of things, and to know H3045 the wickedness H7562 of folly, H3689 even of foolishness H5531 and madness:H1947 |
| Ecl 7:26 | And I H589 find H4672 more bitter H4751 than death H4480 H4194 (H853) the woman, H802 whose H834 H1931 heart H3820 is snares H4685 and nets, H2764 and her hands H3027 as bands: H612 whoso pleaseth H2896 H6440 God H430 shall escape H4422 from H4480 her; but the sinner H2398 shall be taken H3920 by her. |
| Ecl 7:27 | Behold, H7200 this H2088 have I found, H4672 saith H559 the preacher, H6953 counting one H259 by one, H259 to find out H4672 the account:H2808 |
| Ecl 7:28 | Which H834 yet H5750 my soul H5315 seeketh, H1245 but I find H4672 not: H3808 one H259 man H120 among a thousand H4480 H505 have I found; H4672 but a woman H802 among all H3605 those H428 have I not H3808 found.H4672 |
| Ecl 7:29 | Lo, H7200 this H2088 only H905 have I found, H4672 that H834 God H430 hath made H6213 (H853) man H120 upright; H3477 but they H1992 have sought out H1245 many H7227 inventions.H2810 |
