Ecclesiastes 7:15-24
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.
23AllH3605 this have I provedH5254 in wisdomH2451: I saidH559, I will be wiseH2449; but it was farH7350 from meH4480.
24That whichH4310 is is farH7350 offH7350, and exceeding deepH6013; who canH4310 findH4672 it outH4100?
