ECC-7:1 A good name [is] better than precious ointment; and the
day of death than the day of one's birth.
ECC-7:2 [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 his heart.
ECC-7:3 Sorrow [is] better than laughter: for by the sadness of
the countenance the heart is made better.
ECC-7:4 The heart of the wise [is] in the house of mourning; but
the heart of fools [is] in the house of mirth.
ECC-7:5 [It is] better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for
a man to hear the song of fools.
ECC-7:6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so [is] the
laughter of the fool: this also [is] vanity.
ECC-7:7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift
destroyeth the heart.
ECC-7:8 Better [is] the end of a thing than the beginning
thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than the proud
in spirit.
ECC-7:9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger
resteth in the bosom of fools.
ECC-7:10 Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the former days
were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely
concerning this.
ECC-7:11 Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance: and [by it there
is] profit to them that see the sun.
ECC-7:12 For wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money [is] a defence:
but the excellency of knowledge [is, that] wisdom giveth life to
them that have it.
ECC-7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make [that]
straight, which he hath made crooked?
ECC-7:14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of
adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the
other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
ECC-7:15 All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity:
there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and
there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his
wickedness.
ECC-7:16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over
wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
ECC-7:17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why
shouldest thou die before thy time?
ECC-7:18 [It is] good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea,
also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God
shall come forth of them all.
ECC-7:19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty
[men] which are in the city.
ECC-7:20 For [there is] not a just man upon earth, that doeth
good, and sinneth not.
ECC-7:21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest
thou hear thy servant curse thee:
ECC-7:22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou
thyself likewise hast cursed others.
ECC-7:23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be
wise; but it [was] far from me.
