Discovery BoxEcclesiastes 7:1-13
A good name
<08034>
<08034>
[is] better
<02896>
<02896>
than precious
<02896>
<02896>
ointment
<08081>_;
<08081>_;
and the day
<03117>
<03117>
of death
<04194>
<04194>
than the day
<03117>
<03117>
[It is] better
<02896>
<02896>
to the house
<01004>
<01004>
of mourning
<060>_,
<060>_,
to the house
<01004>
<01004>
of feasting
<04960>_:
<04960>_:
for
<0834>
<0834>
that [is] the end
<05490>
<05490>
of all men
<0120>_;
<0120>_;
and the living
<02416>
<02416>
[it] to his heart
<03820>_.
<03820>_.
Sorrow
<03708>
<03708>
[is] better
<02896>
<02896>
than laughter
<07814>_:
<07814>_:
for by the sadness
<07455>
<07455>
of the countenance
<06440>
<06440>
the heart
<03820>
{Sorrow: or, Anger}<03820>
The heart
<03820>
<03820>
of the wise
<02450>
<02450>
[is] in the house
<01004>
<01004>
of mourning
<060>_;
<060>_;
but the heart
<03820>
<03820>
of fools
<03684>
<03684>
[is] in the house
<01004>
<01004>
of mirth
<08057>_.
<08057>_.
[It is] better
<02896>
<02896>
the rebuke
<01606>
<01606>
of the wise
<02450>_,
<02450>_,
than for a man
<0376>
<0376>
the song
<07892>
<07892>
of fools
<03684>_.
<03684>_.
For as the crackling
<06963>
<06963>
of thorns
<05518>
<05518>
under a pot
<05518>_,
<05518>_,
so [is] the laughter
<07814>
<07814>
of the fool
<03684>_:
<03684>_:
this also [is] vanity
<01892>_.
{crackling: Heb. sound}<01892>_.
Better
<02896>
<02896>
[is] the end
<0319>
<0319>
of a thing
<01697>
<01697>
than the beginning
<07225>
<07225>
thereof: [and] the patient
<0750>
<0750>
in spirit
<07307>
<07307>
[is] better
<02896>
<02896>
than the proud
<01362>
<01362>
in spirit
<07307>_.
<07307>_.
not thou, What is [the cause] that the former
<07223>
<07223>
days
<03117>
<03117>
were better
<02896>
<02896>
wisely
<02451>
concerning this. {wisely: Heb. out of wisdom}<02451>
Wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
[is] good
<02896>
<02896>
with an inheritance
<05159>_:
<05159>_:
and [by it there is] profit
<03148>
<03148>
the sun
<08121>_.
{good...: or, as good as an inheritance, yea, better too}<08121>_.
