Ecclesiastes 7:10-18
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>_.
For wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
[is] a defence
<06738>_,
<06738>_,
[and] money
<03701>
<03701>
[is] a defence
<06738>_:
<06738>_:
but the excellency
<03504>
<03504>
of knowledge
<01847>
<01847>
[is, that] wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
to them that have
<01167>
it. {defence: Heb. shadow}<01167>
In the day
<03117>
<03117>
of prosperity
<02896>
<02896>
be joyful
<02896>_,
<02896>_,
but in the day
<03117>
<03117>
of adversity
<07451>
<07451>
God
<0430>
<0430>
the one over against
<05980>
<05980>
the other, to the end
<01700>
<01700>
that man
<0120>
<0120>
nothing
<03972>
<03972>
after
<0310>
him. {set: Heb. made}<0310>
in the days
<03117>
<03117>
of my vanity
<01892>_:
<01892>_:
there is
<03426>
<03426>
a just
<06662>
<06662>
in his righteousness
<06664>_,
<06664>_,
and there is a wicked
<07563>
<07563>
[his life] in his wickedness
<07451>_.
<07451>_.
