Ecclesiastes 7:16-25

Be not righteous
<06662>
over much
<07235> (8687)_;
neither make thyself over
<03148>
wise
<02449> (8691)_:
why shouldest thou destroy
<08074> (8709)
thyself? {destroy...: Heb. be desolate?}
Be not over much
<07235> (8687)
wicked
<07561> (8799)_,
neither be thou foolish
<05530>_:
why shouldest thou die
<04191> (8799)
before thy time
<06256>_?
{before...: Heb. not in thy time?}
[It is] good
<02896>
that thou shouldest take hold
<0270> (8799)
of this; yea, also from this
<02088>
withdraw
<03240> (8686)
not thine hand
<03027>_:
for he that feareth
<03373>
God
<0430>
shall come forth
<03318> (8799)
of them all.
Wisdom
<02451>
strengtheneth
<05810> (8799)
the wise
<02450>
more than ten
<06235>
mighty
<07989>
[men] which are in the city
<05892>_.
For [there is] not a just
<06662>
man
<0120>
upon earth
<0776>_,
that doeth
<06213> (8799)
good
<02896>_,
and sinneth
<02398> (8799)
not.
Also take
<05414> (8799)
no heed
<03820>
unto all words
<01697>
that are spoken
<01696> (8762)_;
lest thou hear
<08085> (8799)
thy servant
<05650>
curse
<07043> (8764)
thee: {take...: Heb. give not thine heart}
For oftentimes
<06471> <07227>
also thine own heart
<03820>
knoweth
<03045> (8804)
that thou thyself likewise hast cursed
<07043> (8765)
others
<0312>_.
All this
<02090>
have I proved
<05254> (8765)
by wisdom
<02451>_:
I said
<0559> (8804)_,
I will be wise
<02449> (8799)_;
but it [was] far
<07350>
from me.
That which is far off
<07350>_,
and exceeding deep
<06013>_,
who can find it out
<04672> (8799)_?
I applied
<05437> (8804)
mine heart
<03820>
to know
<03045> (8800)_,
and to search
<08446> (8800)_,
and to seek out
<01245> (8763)
wisdom
<02451>_,
and the reason
<02808>
[of things], and to know
<03045> (8800)
the wickedness
<07562>
of folly
<03689>_,
even of foolishness
<05531>
[and] madness
<01947>_:
{I applied...: Heb. I and mine heart compassed}
