Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

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.

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.

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?

Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

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.








Ecclesiastes 7:13-18
King James Bible

neither make thyself over wise:

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

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.

Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?






Ecclesiastes 7:9-13
King James Bible

Say not thou,

Consider the work of God

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.







Ecclesiastes 7:9-11
King James Bible

Renseignez-vous avec sagesse

enquire wisely

And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.



And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.


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:


This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.








Ecclesiastes 1:17

What doeth it?

and after that they go to the dead.

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.

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.

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?

Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

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.


Ecclesiastes 7:14-18
King James Bible

why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?

Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:

For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.

All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?








Ecclesiastes 7:19-24
King James Bible

who can find it out?

Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.

 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.

 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?






Ecclesiastes 8:1-7
King James Bible

Chi è come il saggio?

Who is as the wise man? (Sunny Isles)

Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.

 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.

 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?

 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.






Ecclesiastes 8:1-8
King James Bible

feel no evil thing:

	
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.






Ecclesiastes 11:7-9
King James Bible

来るものはすべて空しい。

All that cometh is vanity. (Stamford Bridge)

	
A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?

The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.

Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.







Ecclesiastes 10:14-20
King James Bible

because he first loved us.

Curse not the king, no not in thy thought;

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
