Chapter 7
A
Good
name
is
better
then
precious
ointment:
and
the
day
of
death,
then
the
day
of
ones
birth.
2
It
is
better
to
goe
to
the
house
of
mourning,
then
to
goe
to
the
house
of
feasting:
for
that
is
the
end
of
all
men,
and
the
liuing
will
lay
it
to
his
heart.
3
Sorrow
is
better
then
laughter:
for
by
the
sadnesse
of
the
countenance
the
heart
is
made
better.
4
The
heart
of
the
wise
is
in
the
house
of
mourning:
but
the
heart
of
fooles
is
in
the
house
of
mirth.
5
It
is
better
to
heare
the
rebuke
of
the
wise,
then
for
a
man
to
heare
the
song
of
fooles.
6
For
as
the
crackling
of
thornes
vnder
a
pot,
so
is
the
laughter
of
the
foole:
this
also
is
vanitie.
7
Surely
oppression
maketh
a
wise
man
mad:
and
a
gift
destroyeth
the
heart.
8
Better
is
the
ende
of
a
thing
then
the
beginning
thereof:
and
the
patient
in
spirit
is
better
then
the
proude
in
spirit.
9
Be
not
hastie
in
thy
spirit
to
bee
angry:
for
anger
resteth
in
the
bosome
of
fooles.
10
Say
not
thou,
What
is
the
cause
that
the
former
dayes
were
better
then
these?
For
thou
doest
not
enquire
wisely
concerning
this.
11
Wisedome
is
good
with
an
inheritance:
and
by
it
there
is
profite
to
them
that
see
the
sunne.
12
For
wisedome
is
a
defence,
and
money
is
a
defence:
but
the
excellencie
of
knowledge
is,
that
wisedome
giueth
life
to
them
that
haue
it.
13
Consider
the
worke
of
God:
for
who
can
make
that
straight,
which
hee
hath
made
crooked?
14
In
the
day
of
prosperitie
be
ioyfull,
but
in
the
day
of
aduersitie
consider:
God
also
hath
set
the
one
ouer
against
the
other,
to
the
end
that
man
should
find
nothing
after
him.
15
All
things
haue
I
seene
in
the
dayes
of
my
vanitie:
there
is
a
iust
man
that
perisheth
in
his
righteousnes,
and
there
is
a
wicked
man
that
prolongeth
his
life
in
his
wickednes.
16
Be
not
righteous
ouer
much,
neither
make
thy
selfe
ouer
wise:
why
shouldest
thou
destroy
thy
selfe?
17
Be
not
ouermuch
wicked,
neither
be
thou
foolish:
why
shouldest
thou
die
before
thy
time?
18
It
is
good
that
thou
shouldest
take
holde
of
this,
yea
also
from
this
withdraw
not
thine
hand:
for
hee
that
feareth
God,
shall
come
foorth
of
them
all.
19
Wisedome
strengtheneth
the
wise,
more
then
ten
mightie
men
which
are
in
the
citie.
20
For
there
is
not
a
iust
man
vpon
earth,
that
doeth
good,
and
sinneth
not.
21
Also
take
no
heede
vnto
all
words
that
are
spoken;
lest
thou
heare
thy
seruant
curse
thee.
22
For
often
times
also
thine
owne
heart
knoweth,
that
thou
thy
selfe
likewise
hast
cursed
others.
23
All
this
haue
I
prooued
by
wisedome:
I
said,
I
will
be
wise,
but
it
was
farre
from
me.
24
That
which
is
farre
off,
and
exceeding
deepe,
who
can
finde
it
out?
25
I
applyed
mine
heart
to
know,
and
to
search,
and
to
seeke
out
wisdome,
and
the
reason
of
things,
aud
to
know
the
wickednes
of
folly,
euen
of
foolishnesse
and
madnesse.
26
And
I
finde
more
bitter
then
death,
the
woman
whose
heart
is
snares
&
nets,
and
her
handes
as
bands:
who
so
pleaseth
God,
shall
escape
from
her,
but
the
sinner
shall
be
taken
by
her.
27
Behold,
this
haue
I
found
(saith
the
Preacher)
counting
one
by
one
to
finde
out
the
account:
28
Which
yet
my
soule
seeketh,
but
I
finde
not:
one
man
among
a
thousand
haue
I
found,
but
a
woman
among
all
those
haue
I
not
found.
29
Loe,
this
onely
haue
I
found,
that
God
hath
made
man
vpright:
but
they
haue
sought
out
many
inuentions.
