Ecclesiastes 7:11-29
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>_.
[It is] good
<02896>
<02896>
of this; yea, also from this
<02088>
<02088>
not thine hand
<03027>_:
<03027>_:
for he that feareth
<03373>
<03373>
God
<0430>
of them all.<0430>
Wisdom
<02451>
<02451>
the wise
<02450>
<02450>
more than ten
<06235>
<06235>
mighty
<07989>
<07989>
[men] which are in the city
<05892>_.
<05892>_.
no heed
<03820>
<03820>
unto all words
<01697>
<01697>
thy servant
<05650>
thee: {take...: Heb. give not thine heart}<05650>
mine heart
<03820>
<03820>
wisdom
<02451>_,
<02451>_,
and the reason
<02808>
<02808>
the wickedness
<07562>
<07562>
of folly
<03689>_,
<03689>_,
even of foolishness
<05531>
<05531>
[and] madness
<01947>_:
{I applied...: Heb. I and mine heart compassed}<01947>_:
more bitter
<04751>
<04751>
than death
<04194>
<04194>
the woman
<0802>_,
<0802>_,
whose heart
<03820>
<03820>
[is] snares
<04685>
<04685>
and nets
<02764>_,
<02764>_,
[and] her hands
<03027>
<03027>
[as] bands
<0612>_:
<0612>_:
God
<0430>
by her. {whoso...: Heb. he that is good before God}<0430>
the preacher
<06953>_,
<06953>_,
[counting] one
<0259>
<0259>
by one
<0259>_,
<0259>_,
the account
<02808>_:
{counting...: or, weighing one thing after another, to find out the reason}<02808>_:
