strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:1
@ A good
name
is
better
than
precious
ointment
; and the
day
of
death
than the
day
of ones
birth
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:3
@
Sorrow
is
better
than
laughter
: for by the
sadness
of the
countenance
the
heart
is made
better
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:4
@ The
heart
of the
wise
is in the
house
of
mourning
; but the
heart
of
fools
is in the
house
of
mirth
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:5
@ It is
better
to
hear
the
rebuke
of the
wise
, than for a
man
to
hear
the
song
of
fools
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:6
@ For as the
crackling
of
thorns
under a
pot
, so is the
laughter
of the
fool
: this also is
vanity
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:7
@ Surely
oppression
maketh a wise
man
mad
; and a
gift
destroyeth
the
heart
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:9
@ Be not
hasty
in thy
spirit
to be
angry
: for
anger
resteth
in the
bosom
of
fools
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:10
@
Say
not thou, What is the cause that the
former
days
were
better
than these? for thou dost not
enquire
wisely
concerning this.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:11
@
Wisdom
is
good
with an
inheritance
: and by it there is
profit
to them that
see
the
sun
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:13
@
Consider
the
work
of
God
: for who
can
make that
straight
, which he hath made
crooked
?
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:16
@ Be not
righteous
over
much
; neither make thyself
over
wise
: why shouldest thou
destroy
thyself?
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:17
@ Be not over
much
wicked
, neither be thou
foolish
: why shouldest thou
die
before thy
time
?
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:19
@
Wisdom
strengtheneth
the
wise
more than
ten
mighty
men which are in the
city
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:20
@ For there is not a
just
man
upon
earth
, that
doeth
good
, and
sinneth
not.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:21
@ Also
take
no
heed
unto all
words
that are
spoken
; lest thou
hear
thy
servant
curse
thee:
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:22
@ For
oftentimes
H7227also thine own
heart
knoweth
that thou thyself likewise hast
cursed
others
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:23
@ All
this
have I
proved
by
wisdom
: I
said
, I will be
wise
; but it was
far
from me.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:24
@ That which is far
off
, and exceeding
deep
, who can find it
out
?
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:25
@ I
applied
mine
heart
to
know
, and to
search
, and to seek
out
wisdom
, and the
reason
of things, and to
know
the
wickedness
of
folly
, even of
foolishness
and
madness
:
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:26
@ And I
find
more
bitter
than
death
the
woman
, whose
heart
is
snares
and
nets
, and her
hands
as
bands
: whoso
pleaseth
God
shall
escape
from her; but the
sinner
shall be
taken
by her.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:27
@
Behold
, this have I
found
,
saith
the
preacher
, counting
one
by
one
, to find
out
the
account
:
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:28
@ Which yet my
soul
seeketh
, but I
find
not:
one
man
among a
thousand
have I
found
; but a
woman
among all those have I not
found
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:29
@
Lo
, this
only
have I
found
, that
God
hath
made
man
upright
; but they have sought
out
many
inventions
.
