Ecclesiastes 7:1-12

A good name
<08034>

[is] better
<02896>

than precious
<02896>

ointment
<08081>_;

and the day
<03117>

of death
<04194>

than the day
<03117>

of one's birth
<03205> (8736)_.

[It is] better
<02896>

to go
<03212> (8800)

to the house
<01004>

of mourning
<060>_,

than to go
<03212> (8800)

to the house
<01004>

of feasting
<04960>_:

for
<0834>

that [is] the end
<05490>

of all men
<0120>_;

and the living
<02416>

will lay
<05414> (8799)

[it] to his heart
<03820>_.

Sorrow
<03708>

[is] better
<02896>

than laughter
<07814>_:

for by the sadness
<07455>

of the countenance
<06440>

the heart
<03820>

is made better
<03190> (8799)_.

{Sorrow: or, Anger}

The heart
<03820>

of the wise
<02450>

[is] in the house
<01004>

of mourning
<060>_;

but the heart
<03820>

of fools
<03684>

[is] in the house
<01004>

of mirth
<08057>_.

[It is] better
<02896>

to hear
<08085> (8800)

the rebuke
<01606>

of the wise
<02450>_,

than for a man
<0376>

to hear
<08085> (8802)

the song
<07892>

of fools
<03684>_.

For as the crackling
<06963>

of thorns
<05518>

under a pot
<05518>_,

so [is] the laughter
<07814>

of the fool
<03684>_:

this also [is] vanity
<01892>_.

{crackling: Heb. sound}

Surely oppression
<06233>

maketh a wise man
<02450>

mad
<01984> (8779)_;

and a gift
<04979>

destroyeth
<06> (8762)

the heart
<03820>_.

Better
<02896>

[is] the end
<0319>

of a thing
<01697>

than the beginning
<07225>

thereof: [and] the patient
<0750>

in spirit
<07307>

[is] better
<02896>

than the proud
<01362>

in spirit
<07307>_.

Be not hasty
<0926> (8762)

in thy spirit
<07307>

to be angry
<03707> (8800)_:

for anger
<03708>

resteth
<05117> (8799)

in the bosom
<02436>

of fools
<03684>_.

Say
<0559> (8799)

not thou, What is [the cause] that the former
<07223>

days
<03117>

were better
<02896>

than these? for thou dost not enquire
<07592> (8804)

wisely
<02451>

concerning this. {wisely: Heb. out of wisdom}

Wisdom
<02451>

[is] good
<02896>

with an inheritance
<05159>_:

and [by it there is] profit
<03148>

to them that see
<07200> (8802)

the sun
<08121>_.

{good...: or, as good as an inheritance, yea, better too}

For wisdom
<02451>

[is] a defence
<06738>_,

[and] money
<03701>

[is] a defence
<06738>_:

but the excellency
<03504>

of knowledge
<01847>

[is, that] wisdom
<02451>

giveth life
<02421> (8762)

to them that have
<01167>

it. {defence: Heb. shadow}
