Ecclesiastes 7

ASV_Strongs(i)
  1 H8034 A good name H2896 is better H2896 than precious H8081 oil; H3117 and the day H4194 of death, H3117 than the day H3205 of one's birth.
  2 H2896 It is better H3212 to go H1004 to the house H60 of mourning H3212 than to go H1004 to the house H4960 of feasting: H834 for H5490 that is the end H120 of all men; H2416 and the living H5414 will lay H3820 it to his heart.
  3 H3708 Sorrow H2896 is better H7814 than laughter; H7455 for by the sadness H6440 of the countenance H3820 the heart H3190 is made glad.
  4 H3820 The heart H2450 of the wise H1004 is in the house H60 of mourning; H3820 but the heart H3684 of fools H1004 is in the house H8057 of mirth.
  5 H2896 It is better H8085 to hear H1606 the rebuke H2450 of the wise, H376 than for a man H8085 to hear H7892 the song H3684 of fools.
  6 H6963 For as the crackling H5518 of thorns H5518 under a pot, H7814 so is the laughter H3684 of the fool: H1892 this also is vanity.
  7 H6233 Surely extortion H2450 maketh the wise man H1984 foolish; H4979 and a bribe H6 destroyeth H3820 the understanding.
  8 H2896 Better H319 is the end H1697 of a thing H7225 than the beginning H750 thereof; and the patient H7307 in spirit H2896 is better H1362 than the proud H7307 in spirit.
  9 H926 Be not hasty H7307 in thy spirit H3707 to be angry; H3708 for anger H5117 resteth H2436 in the bosom H3684 of fools.
  10 H559 Say H7223 not thou, What is the cause that the former H3117 days H2896 were better H7592 than these? for thou dost not inquire H2451 wisely concerning this.
  11 H2451 Wisdom H2896 is as good H5159 as an inheritance; H3148 yea, more excellent H7200 is it for them that see H8121 the sun.
  12 H2451 For wisdom H6738 is a defence, H3701 even as money H6738 is a defence; H3504 but the excellency H1847 of knowledge H2451 is, that wisdom H2421 preserveth the life H1167 of him that hath it.
  13 H7200 Consider H4639 the work H430 of God: H3201 for who can H8626 make that straight, H5791 which he hath made crooked?
  14 H3117 In the day H2896 of prosperity H2896 be joyful, H3117 and in the day H7451 of adversity H7200 consider; H430 yea, God H6213 hath made H5980 the one side by side H1700 with the other, to the end H120 that man H4672 should not find H3972 out anything H310 that shall be after him.
  15 H7200 All this have I seen H3117 in my days H1892 of vanity: H3426 there is H6662 a righteous H6 man that perisheth H6664 in his righteousness, H7563 and there is a wicked H748 man that prolongeth H7451 his life in his evil-doing.
  16 H6662 Be not righteous H7235 overmuch; H3148 neither make thyself H2449 overwise: H8074 why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
  17 H7235 Be not overmuch H7561 wicked, H5530 neither be thou foolish: H4191 why shouldest thou die H6256 before thy time?
  18 H2896 It is good H270 that thou shouldest take hold H2088 of this; H3240 yea, also from that withdraw H3027 not thy hand: H3373 for he that feareth H430 God H3318 shall come forth from them all.
  19 H2451 Wisdom H5810 is a strength H2450 to the wise H6235 man more than ten H7989 rulers H5892 that are in a city.
  20 H6662 Surely there is not a righteous H120 man H776 upon earth, H6213 that doeth H2896 good, H2398 and sinneth not.
  21 H5414 Also take H3820 not heed H1697 unto all words H1696 that are spoken, H8085 lest thou hear H5650 thy servant H7043 curse thee;
  22 H6471 for oftentimes H3820 also thine own heart H3045 knoweth H7043 that thou thyself likewise hast cursed H312 others.
  23 H2090 All this H5254 have I proved H2451 in wisdom: H559 I said, H2449 I will be wise; H7350 but it was far from me.
  24 H7350 That which is, is far off H6013 and exceeding deep; H4672 who can find it out?
  25 H5437 I turned H3820 about, and my heart H3045 was set to know H8446 and to search H1245 out, H2451 and to seek wisdom H2808 and the reason H3045 of things, and to know H7562 that wickedness H3689 is folly, H5531 and that foolishness H1947 is madness.
  26 H4672 And I find H4751 more bitter H4194 than death H802 the woman H3820 whose heart H4685 is snares H2764 and nets, H3027 and whose hands H612 are bands: H2896 whoso pleaseth H430 God H4422 shall escape H2398 from her; but the sinner H3920 shall be taken by her.
  27 H7200 Behold, H4672 this have I found, H559 saith H6953 the Preacher, H259 laying one H259 thing to another, H4672 to find out H2808 the account;
  28 H5315 which my soul H1245 still seeketh, H4672 but I have not found: H259 one H120 man H505 among a thousand H4672 have I found; H802 but a woman H4672 among all those have I not found.
  29 H7200 Behold, H905 this only H4672 have I found: H430 that God H6213 made H120 man H3477 upright; H1245 but they have sought out H120 many H2810 inventions.
