V.1 A good name 8034 [is] better 2896 than precious 2896 ointment; 8081 and the day 3117 of death 4194 than the day 3117 of one's birth. 3205-9

7:2 [It is] better 2896 to go 3212-2 to the house 1004 of mourning, 60 than to go 3212-2 to the house 1004 of feasting: 4960 for 834 that [is] the end 5490 of all men; 120 and the living 2416 will lay 5414-4 [it] to his heart. 3820

7:3 Sorrow 3708 [is] better 2896 than laughter: 7814 for by the sadness 7455 of the countenance 6440 the heart 3820 is made better. 3190-4

7:4 The heart 3820 of the wise 2450 [is] in the house 1004 of mourning; 60 but the heart 3820 of fools 3684 [is] in the house 1004 of mirth. 8057

7:5 [It is] better 2896 to hear 8085-2 the rebuke 1606 of the wise, 2450 than for a man 376 to hear 8085-6 the song 7892 of fools. 3684

7:6 For as the crackling 6963 of thorns 5518 under a pot, 5518 so [is] the laughter 7814 of the fool: 3684 this also [is] vanity. 1892

7:7 Surely oppression 6233 maketh a wise man 2450 mad; 1984- 25 and a gift 4979 destroyeth 6-17 the heart. 3820

7:8 Better 2896 [is] the end 319 of a thing 1697 than the beginning 7225 thereof: [and] the patient 750 in spirit 7307 [is] better 2896 than the proud 1362 in spirit. 7307

7:9 Be not hasty 926-17 in thy spirit 7307 to be angry: 3707- 2 for anger 3708 resteth 5117-4 in the bosom 2436 of fools. 3684

7:10 Say 559-4 not thou, What is [the cause] that the former 7223 days 3117 were better 2896 than these? for thou dost not enquire 7592-1 wisely 2451 concerning this.

7:11 Wisdom 2451 [is] good 2896 with an inheritance: 5159 and [by it there is] profit 3148 to them that see 7200-6 the sun. 8121

7:12 For wisdom 2451 [is] a defence, 6738 [and] money 3701 [is] a defence: 6738 but the excellency 3504 of knowledge 1847 [is, that] wisdom 2451 giveth life 2421-17 to them that have 1167 it.

7:13 Consider 7200-3 the work 4639 of God: 430 for who can 3201-4 make [that] straight, 8626-15 which he hath made crooked? 5791-14

7:14 In the day 3117 of prosperity 2896 be joyful, 2896 but in the day 3117 of adversity 7451 consider: 7200-3 God 430 also hath set 6213-1 the one over against 5980 the other, to the end 1700 that man 120 should find 4672-4 nothing 3808 3972 after 310 him.

7:15 All [things] have I seen 7200-1 in the days 3117 of my vanity: 1892 there is 3426 a just 6662 [man] that perisheth 6-6 in his righteousness, 6664 and there is 3426 a wicked 7563 [man] that prolongeth 748-56 [his life] in his wickedness. 7451

7:16 Be not righteous 6662 over much; 7235-53 neither make thyself over 3148 wise: 2449-101 why shouldest thou destroy 8074-113 thyself?

7:17 Be not over much 7235-53 wicked, 7561-4 neither be thou foolish: 5530 why shouldest thou die 4191-4 before thy time? 6256

7:18 [It is] good 2896 that thou shouldest take hold 270-4 of this; 2088 yea, also from this 2088 withdraw 3240-55 not thine hand: 3027 for he that feareth 3373 God 430 shall come forth 3318-4 of them all.

7:19 Wisdom 2451 strengtheneth 5810-4 the wise 2450 more than ten 6235 mighty 7989 [men] which are in the city. 5892

7:20 For [there is] not a just 6662 man 120 upon earth, 776 that doeth 6213-4 good, 2896 and sinneth 2398-4 not.

7:21 Also take 5414-4 no heed 3820 unto all words 1697 that are spoken; 1696-17 lest thou hear 8085-4 thy servant 5650 curse 7043-18 thee:

7:22 For oftentimes 6471 7227 also thine own heart 3820 knoweth 3045-1 that thou thyself likewise hast cursed 7043-14 others. 312

7:23 All this 2090 have I proved 5254-14 by wisdom: 2451 I said, 559-1 I will be wise; 2449-4 but it [was] far 7350 from me.

7:24 That which is far off, 7350 and exceeding deep, 6013 6013 who can find it out? 4672-4

7:25 I applied 5437-1 mine heart 3820 to know, 3045-2 and to search, 8446-2 and to seek out 1245-15 wisdom, 2451 and the reason 2808 [of things], and to know 3045-2 the wickedness 7562 of folly, 3689 even of foolishness 5531 [and] madness: 1947

7:26 And I find 4672-6 more bitter 4751 than death 4194 the woman, 802 whose heart 3820 [is] snares 4685 and nets, 2764 [and] her hands 3027 [as] bands: 612 whoso pleaseth 2896 6440 God 430 shall escape 4422-11 from her; but the sinner 2398-6 shall be taken 3920-11 by her.

7:27 Behold, 7200-3 this have I found, 4672-1 saith 559-1 the preacher, 6953 [counting] one 259 by one, 259 to find out 4672-2 the account: 2808

7:28 Which yet my soul 5315 seeketh, 1245-14 but I find 4672- 1 not: one 259 man 120 among a thousand 505 have I found; 4672-1 but a woman 802 among all those have I not found. 4672-1
