21:007:009 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry:
for anger resteth in
the
bosom of fools.
21:007:010 Say not thou, What is the cause that the
former days were
better
than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning
this.
21:007:011 Wisdom is good with an inheritance:
and by it there is profit
to
them that see the sun.
21:007:012 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a
defence: but the
excellency
of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them
that
have it.
21:007:013 Consider the work of God: for who
can make that straight,
which
he hath made crooked?
21:007:014 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but
in the day of
adversity
consider: God also hath set the one over against
the
other,
to the end that man should find nothing after him.
21:007:015 All things have I seen in the days of my
vanity: there is a
just
man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there
is a
wicked
man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
21:007:016 Be not righteous over much; neither make
thyself over wise:
why
shouldest thou destroy thyself?
21:007:017 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou
foolish: why
shouldest
thou die before thy time?
21:007:018 It is good that thou shouldest take hold
of this; yea, also
from
this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth
God
shall
come forth of them all.
21:007:019 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than
ten mighty men which
are
in the city.
21:007:020 For there is not a just man upon earth,
that doeth good, and
sinneth
not.
21:007:021 Also take no heed unto all words that are
spoken; lest thou
hear
thy servant curse thee:
21:007:022 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth
that thou thyself
likewise
hast cursed others.
21:007:023 All this have I proved by wisdom:
I said, I will be wise; but
it
was far from me.
21:007:024 That which is far off, and exceeding deep,
who can find it
out?
21:007:025 I applied mine heart to know, and to search,
and to seek out
wisdom,
and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness
of
folly, even of foolishness and madness:
21:007:026 And I find more bitter than death the woman,
whose heart is
snares
and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth
God
shall
escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
21:007:027 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher,
counting one by
one,
to find out the account:
21:007:028 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not:
one man among a
thousand
have I found; but a woman among all those have I not
found.
