Ecclesiastes 7:11-22

11WisdomH2451 is as goodH2896 as an inheritanceH5159; yea, more excellent is it for them that seeH7200 the sunH8121. 12For wisdomH2451 is a defence, even as moneyH3701 is a defence; but the excellency of knowledgeH1847 is, that wisdomH2451 preserveth the lifeH2421 of him that hath it. 13ConsiderH7200 the workH4639 of GodH430: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? 14In the dayH3117 of prosperity beH1961 joyful, and in the dayH3117 of adversity considerH7200; yea, GodH430 hath madeH6213 the oneH2088 side by side with the other, to the end that manH120 should not findH4672 out anythingH3972 that shall beH1961 after him.

15All this have I seenH7200 in my daysH3117 of vanityH1892: there is a righteousH6662 man that perisheth in his righteousnessH6664, and there is a wickedH7563 man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing. 16BeH1961 not righteousH6662 overmuch; neither makeH8074 thyself overwise: whyH4100 shouldest thou destroy thyself? 17BeH1961 not overmuch wicked, neither beH1961 thou foolish: whyH4100 shouldest thou dieH4191 before thy timeH6256? 18It is goodH2896 that thou shouldest takeH270 holdH270 of this; yea, alsoH1571 from that withdraw not thy handH3027: for he that feareth GodH430 shall comeH3318 forthH3318 from them all.

19WisdomH2451 is a strength to the wiseH2450 man more than tenH6235 rulersH7989 that are in a cityH5892. 20Surely there is not a righteousH6662 manH120 upon earthH776, that doeth goodH2896, and sinneth not. 21AlsoH1571 take not heed unto all wordsH1697 that are spokenH1696, lest thou hearH8085 thy servantH5650 curseH7043 thee; 22for oftentimes alsoH1571 thine own heartH3820 knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursedH7043 othersH312.
