传道书 7:1-14
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
智者的选择
7 美名优于美好的膏油,
死亡的日子胜过诞生的日子。
2 往服丧之家,比往宴乐之家还好,
因为死是人人的结局,
活人要把这事放在心上。
3 忧愁胜于嬉笑,
因为面带愁容,能使内心得着好处。
4 智慧人的心在服丧之家,
愚昧人的心在欢乐之家。
5 听智慧人的斥责,
胜过听愚昧人的歌唱。
6 愚昧人的笑声,
就像锅底下荆棘的爆声一样。
这也是虚空。
7 勒索会使智慧人变为愚妄,
贿赂能败坏人心。
8 事情的结局胜于开端,
存心忍耐的,胜过居心骄傲的。
9 你心里不要轻易动怒,
因为恼怒留在愚昧人的胸怀中。
10 你不要说:“为甚么从前的日子胜过现在的呢?”
你这样问,不是出于智慧。
11 智慧与产业都是好的,
对得见天日的人是有益的。
12 因为受智慧的庇护,如同受银子的庇护。
唯有智慧能保全智慧人的生命,这就是知识的益处。
体察 神的心意行事
13 要观察 神的作为,
因为他所屈曲的,
谁能弄直呢?
14 在亨通的日子,应当享福;
遭遇患难的时候,就当省察。
神使这两样并存,
为了叫人查不出未来的事。

Ecclesiastes 7:1-14
New International Version
Wisdom
7 A good name is better than fine perfume,(A)
and the day of death better than the day of birth.(B)
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for death(C) is the destiny(D) of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.
3 Frustration is better than laughter,(E)
because a sad face is good for the heart.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.(F)
5 It is better to heed the rebuke(G) of a wise person
than to listen to the song of fools.
6 Like the crackling of thorns(H) under the pot,
so is the laughter(I) of fools.
This too is meaningless.
7 Extortion turns a wise person into a fool,
and a bribe(J) corrupts the heart.
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
and patience(K) is better than pride.
9 Do not be quickly provoked(L) in your spirit,
for anger resides in the lap of fools.(M)
10 Do not say, “Why were the old days(N) better than these?”
For it is not wise to ask such questions.
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing(O)
and benefits those who see the sun.(P)
12 Wisdom is a shelter
as money is a shelter,
but the advantage of knowledge is this:
Wisdom preserves those who have it.
13 Consider what God has done:(Q)
