Ecclesiastes 7:16-25

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 1GodH430 cometh forthH3318 from them all.

19WisdomH2451 strengtheneth the wiseH2450 more than tenH6235 mighty [men] that are in a cityH5892.

20Surely there is not a righteousH6662 manH120 upon earthH776, that doeth goodH2896 and sinneth not.

21AlsoH1571 giveH5414 not heed unto all wordsH1697 that are spokenH1696, lest thou hearH8085 thy servantH5650 curseH7043 thee.

22For alsoH1571 thine own heartH3820 knoweth that oftentimes thou thyself likewise hast cursedH7043 othersH312.

23All this have I tried by wisdomH2451: I saidH559, I will be wiseH2449; but it was farH7350 from me.

24Whatever hath beenH1961, is farH7350 off, and exceeding deepH6013: who will findH4672 it out?

25I turnedH5437, I and my heartH3820, to knowH3045, and to searchH1245, and to seekH1245 out wisdomH2451 and reason, and to knowH3045 wickednessH7562 to be follyH5531, and foolishness to be madnessH1947;
