⮜ Ecclesiastes 6 | Ecclesiastes 8 ⮞

1 A good name is better than fine perfume; and the day of death better than the day of one’s birth. Ecclesiastes 7:1WEB
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 should take this to heart. Ecclesiastes 7:2WEB
3 Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heart is made good. Ecclesiastes 7:3WEB
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. Ecclesiastes 7:4WEB
5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:5WEB
6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity. Ecclesiastes 7:6WEB
7 Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding. Ecclesiastes 7:7WEB
8 Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Ecclesiastes 7:8WEB
9 Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:9WEB
10 Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not ask wisely about this. Ecclesiastes 7:10WEB
11 Wisdom is as good as an inheritance. Yes, it is more excellent for those who see the sun. Ecclesiastes 7:11WEB
12 For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it. Ecclesiastes 7:12WEB
13 Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight which he has made crooked? Ecclesiastes 7:13WEB
14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him. Ecclesiastes 7:14WEB
15 All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing. Ecclesiastes 7:15WEB
16 Don’t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself? Ecclesiastes 7:16WEB
17 Don’t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time? Ecclesiastes 7:17WEB
18 It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also don’t withdraw your hand from that; for he who fears God will come out of them all. Ecclesiastes 7:18WEB
19 Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city. Ecclesiastes 7:19WEB
20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin. Ecclesiastes 7:20WEB
21 Also don’t take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you; Ecclesiastes 7:21WEB
22 for often your own heart knows that you yourself have likewise cursed others. Ecclesiastes 7:22WEB
23 All this I have proved in wisdom. I said, “I will be wise;” but it was far from me. Ecclesiastes 7:23WEB
24 That which is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it out? Ecclesiastes 7:24WEB
25 I turned around, and my heart sought to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity, and that foolishness is madness. Ecclesiastes 7:25WEB
26 I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps, whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner will be ensnared by her. Ecclesiastes 7:26WEB
27 “Behold, I have found this,” says the Preacher, “to one another, to find an explanation Ecclesiastes 7:27WEB
28 which my soul still seeks, but I have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all those. Ecclesiastes 7:28WEB
29 Behold, I have only found this: that God made mankind upright; but they search for many inventions.” Ecclesiastes 7:29WEB
