Ecclesiastes 7:11-22

Wisdom
<02451>
[is] good
<02896>
with an inheritance
<05159>_:
and [by it there is] profit
<03148>
to them that see
<07200> (8802)
the sun
<08121>_.
{good...: or, as good as an inheritance, yea, better too}
For wisdom
<02451>
[is] a defence
<06738>_,
[and] money
<03701>
[is] a defence
<06738>_:
but the excellency
<03504>
of knowledge
<01847>
[is, that] wisdom
<02451>
giveth life
<02421> (8762)
to them that have
<01167>
it. {defence: Heb. shadow}
Consider
<07200> (8798)
the work
<04639>
of God
<0430>_:
for who can
<03201> (8799)
make [that] straight
<08626> (8763)_,
which he hath made crooked
<05791> (8765)_?
In the day
<03117>
of prosperity
<02896>
be joyful
<02896>_,
but in the day
<03117>
of adversity
<07451>
consider
<07200> (8798)_:
God
<0430>
also hath set
<06213> (8804)
the one over against
<05980>
the other, to the end
<01700>
that man
<0120>
should find
<04672> (8799)
nothing
<03972>
after
<0310>
him. {set: Heb. made}
All [things] have I seen
<07200> (8804)
in the days
<03117>
of my vanity
<01892>_:
there is
<03426>
a just
<06662>
[man] that perisheth
<06> (8802)
in his righteousness
<06664>_,
and there is a wicked
<07563>
[man] that prolongeth
<0748> (8688)
[his life] in his wickedness
<07451>_.
Be not righteous
<06662>
over much
<07235> (8687)_;
neither make thyself over
<03148>
wise
<02449> (8691)_:
why shouldest thou destroy
<08074> (8709)
thyself? {destroy...: Heb. be desolate?}
Be not over much
<07235> (8687)
wicked
<07561> (8799)_,
neither be thou foolish
<05530>_:
why shouldest thou die
<04191> (8799)
before thy time
<06256>_?
{before...: Heb. not in thy time?}
[It is] good
<02896>
that thou shouldest take hold
<0270> (8799)
of this; yea, also from this
<02088>
withdraw
<03240> (8686)
not thine hand
<03027>_:
for he that feareth
<03373>
God
<0430>
shall come forth
<03318> (8799)
of them all.
Wisdom
<02451>
strengtheneth
<05810> (8799)
the wise
<02450>
more than ten
<06235>
mighty
<07989>
[men] which are in the city
<05892>_.
For [there is] not a just
<06662>
man
<0120>
upon earth
<0776>_,
that doeth
<06213> (8799)
good
<02896>_,
and sinneth
<02398> (8799)
not.
Also take
<05414> (8799)
no heed
<03820>
unto all words
<01697>
that are spoken
<01696> (8762)_;
lest thou hear
<08085> (8799)
thy servant
<05650>
curse
<07043> (8764)
thee: {take...: Heb. give not thine heart}
For oftentimes
<06471> <07227>
also thine own heart
<03820>
knoweth
<03045> (8804)
that thou thyself likewise hast cursed
<07043> (8765)
others
<0312>_.
