Ecclesiastes 7:16-25

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>_.

All this
<02090>

have I proved
<05254> (8765)

by wisdom
<02451>_:

I said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will be wise
<02449> (8799)_;

but it [was] far
<07350>

from me.

That which is far off
<07350>_,

and exceeding deep
<06013>_,

who can find it out
<04672> (8799)_?

I applied
<05437> (8804)

mine heart
<03820>

to know
<03045> (8800)_,

and to search
<08446> (8800)_,

and to seek out
<01245> (8763)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and the reason
<02808>

[of things], and to know
<03045> (8800)

the wickedness
<07562>

of folly
<03689>_,

even of foolishness
<05531>

[and] madness
<01947>_:

{I applied...: Heb. I and mine heart compassed}
