Ecclesiastes 7:11-22

11WisdomH2451, likeH5973 an inheritanceH5159, is goodH2896, and it benefitsH3148 those who seeH7200 the sunH8121.12ForH3588 wisdomH2451, like moneyH3701, is a shelterH6738, and the advantageH3504 of knowledgeH1847 is that wisdomH2451 preserves the lifeH2421 of its ownerH1167.

In my futileH1892 lifeH3117 I have seenH7200 both of theseH3605:

A righteous manH6662 perishingH6 in his righteousnessH6664, and a wicked manH7563 living longH748 in his wickednessH7451.

16Do notH408 beH1961 overlyH7235 righteousH6662, and do notH408 make yourself tooH3148 wiseH2449. WhyH4100 should you destroy yourselfH8074? 17Do notH408 be excessivelyH7235 wickedH7561, and do notH408 beH1961 a foolH5530. WhyH4100 should you dieH4191 beforeH3808 your timeH6256? 18It is goodH2896 to graspH270 the oneH2088 andH1571 notH408 let the other slipH5117 fromH2088 your handH3027. ForH3588 he who fearsH3373 GodH430 will followH3318 bothH3605 warnings.1

Do notH408 payH5414 attentionH3820 to everyH3605 wordH1697 thatH834 is spokenH1696, orH3808 you may hearH8085 your servantH5650 cursing youH7043. 22ForH3588H1571 you knowH3045 in your heartH3820 thatH834H1571 manyH7227 timesH6471 you yourselfH859 have cursedH7043 othersH312.
