Ecclesiastes 7:11-22

11WisdomH2451 is as goodH2896 as an inheritanceH5159: yea, moreH3148 excellent is it for them that seeH7200 the sunH8121.

12For wisdomH2451 is a defence, evenH3588 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 canH4310 makeH7200 that straight, whichH834 he hath madeH4639 crookedH5791?

14In the dayH3117 of prosperityH2896 be joyful, and in the dayH3117 of adversity considerH7200: GodH430 hath evenH1571 madeH6213 the one sideH2088 by sideH2088 with the otherH2088, to the endH310 that manH120 should notH3808 findH4672 outH5921 anyH1571 thingH2088 that shall be afterH310 him.

15AllH3605 this have I seenH7200 in the daysH3117 of my vanityH1892: there is a righteousH6662 manH7563 that perisheth in his righteousnessH6664, and there is a wickedH7563 manH7563 that prolongeth his lifeH3117 in his evil-doing.

16Be notH408 righteousH6662 over muchH7235; neitherH408 makeH8074 thyself over wiseH2449: whyH4100 shouldest thou destroyH8074 thyself?

17Be notH3808 over muchH7235 wickedH7561, neitherH3808 be thou foolishH5530: whyH4100 shouldest thou dieH4191 beforeH3808 thy time?

18It is goodH2896 that thou shouldest takeH270 holdH270 of this; yeaH3588, also from that withdraw notH408 thine handH3027: for he that feareth GodH430 shall comeH3318 forthH3318 of them allH3605.

19WisdomH2451 is a strength to the wiseH2450 manH2450 more than tenH6235 rulersH7989 whichH834 are in a cityH5892.

20SurelyH3588 there is notH3808 a righteousH6662 manH120 upon earthH776, that doeth goodH2896, and sinneth notH3808.

21Also takeH5414 notH3808 heedH8085 unto allH3605 wordsH1697 that are spokenH1696; lest thou hearH8085 thy servantH5650 curseH7043 thee:

22for oftentimes also thine own heartH3820 knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursedH7043 othersH312.
