2:9 So I was far wealthier than all my predecessors in Jerusalem,
yet I maintained my objectivity:
4:9 Two people are better than one,
because they can reap more benefit from their labor.
5:5 It is better for you not to vow
than to vow and not pay it.
7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter,
because sober reflection is good for the heart.
7:19 Wisdom gives a wise person more protection
than ten rulers in a city.
7:24 Whatever has happened is beyond human understanding;
it is far deeper than anyone can fathom.
9:18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
but one sinner can destroy much that is good.
