rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:4 @ The heart of the wise, is in the house of mourning, but, the heart of dullards, in the house of mirth.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ Better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for any man to hear the song of dullards,
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For, as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so, is the laughter of the dullard, even this, then, was vanity.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ For, oppression, maddeneth the wise, and a bribe, destroyeth the understanding.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @ Better the latter end of a thing, than the beginning thereof, Better a patient spirit, than a haughty spirit.

rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Good is wisdom, with an inheritance, and a profit, to such as see the sun.

rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ In the day of prosperity, be joyful, but, in the day of misfortune, consider, Even the one equally with the other, hath God made, to the end man might find outafter himnothing.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ Everything, had I seen, in my days of vanity, Here was a righteous man, perishing in his righteousness, and there was a lawless man, continuing long in his wickedness.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @ Do not become so very righteous, neither count thyself wise beyond measure, wherefore shouldst thou destroy thyself?
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @ Do not be so very lawless, neither become thou foolish, wherefore shouldst thou die, before thy time?
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is well that thou shouldst lay fast hold of this, but, even from the other, do not withdraw thy hand, for, he that revereth God, shall come forth out of them all.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ Wisdom, bringeth more strength to a wise man, than ten heroes, that are in the city.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ For, as for men, there is none righteous in the earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ See! this, have I found, saith the Proclaimer one by one, to find a conclusion;
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ what my soul still sought, yet I found not, one man out of a thousand, have I found, but, a woman among all these, have I not found.
rotherham@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @ Only, see, this, have I found, That God made man upright, but, they, have sought out many devices.
