Ecclesiastes 7:16-25

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?

25I turnedH5437 aboutH5437, and my heartH3820 was setH5437 to knowH3045 and to searchH1245 outH3045, and to seekH1245 wisdomH2451 and the reason of things, and to knowH3045 that wickednessH7562 is follyH5531, and that foolishnessH3689 is madnessH1947:
