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。
15 在我虚空的日子里，我见过这两件事：有义人行义反而灭亡，有恶人行恶倒享长寿。 16 不要过分公义，也不要太过有智慧，何必自取灭亡呢？ 17 不要过分作恶，也不要作愚昧人，何必时候未到就死？ 18 持守这个是好的，那个也不要放松，因为敬畏 神的人，都必避免这两个极端。
19 智慧使智慧人比城中十个官长更有能力。 20 世上实在没有一个行善而不犯罪的义人。 21 人所说的一切话，都不要放在心上，因你可能听见仆人咒骂你。 22 其实你心里明白，自己也曾多次咒骂别人。
23 这一切我都用智慧试验过。我说：“我要得智慧”，智慧却远离我。 24 那离得远又极深奥的，谁能找到呢？ 25 我转念，一心去了解、考察并寻觅智慧和事理，又要知道愚蒙是邪恶的，狂妄是愚昧的。 26 我发现一个比死亡更恶毒的妇人，她有如罗网，心如陷阱，手如锁炼。蒙 神喜悦的人得以摆脱她，罪人却被她缠住。
27 传道者说：“看哪！我发现了这件事，我一再揣摩，要找出事情的道理。 28 我的心仍在寻觅，却还找不到，就是在一千个男人中，我找到一个正直人，但在所有的女人中，连一个也找不到。 29 我所明白的，只有这件事： 神造人原是正直的，他们却找出许多巧计。”

7 美好的名声胜过珍贵的膏油，
人死之日胜过出生之时。
2 探望丧家胜过参加宴席，
因为死亡是每个人的结局，
活着的人要把这事铭记在心。
3 哀伤胜过欢笑，
因为哀伤磨炼人的心灵。
4 智者的心思考生死大事，
愚人的心只顾作乐。
5 听智者的责备，
胜过听愚人的颂歌。
6 愚人的笑声像锅底下烧荆棘的劈啪声。
这也是虚空。
7 欺压使智者变愚昧，
贿赂败坏人心。
8 事情的结局胜过事情的开端；
恒久忍耐胜过心骄气傲。
9 不要轻易发怒，
因为愚人心怀怒气。
10 不要问为什么过去比现在好，
因为这样问不明智。
11 智慧如同产业一样美好，
有益于得见日光的世人。
12 智慧如同金钱，
是一种保障，
能保全智者的生命。
这就是知识的好处。
13 你应当思想上帝的作为，
因为上帝弄弯的，
谁能使它变直呢？
14 顺境时要快乐，
逆境时要思想：
两者都是上帝的安排，
好叫人不能预知将来。
15 在我虚空的一生中，我见过义人行义，反而灭亡；恶人行恶，却享长寿。 16 为人不要过分正直，也不要过于聪明，何必自取毁灭呢？ 17 不要过分邪恶，也不要做愚人，何必时候未到就死呢？ 18 最好是持守这个教训也不放松那个教训，因为敬畏上帝的人必避免两个极端。 19 智慧使一个智者比城里十个官长更有能力。 20 诚然，在地上无法找到一个一生行善、从未犯罪的义人。 21 你不要斤斤计较别人所说的每一句话，免得听见你的仆人咒诅你， 22 因为你心里知道自己也曾多次咒诅别人。 23 我用智慧试验过这一切。我说：“我要做智者”，谁知智慧却离我甚远。 24 智慧如此遥不可及、深不可测，谁能找得到呢？ 25 我用心去认识、探究、追寻智慧和事物的原委，并去认识邪恶带来的愚昧和无知带来的狂妄。 26 我发现有的妇人比死亡更苦毒，她是个陷阱，心如网罗，手像锁链。敬畏上帝的人避开她，罪人却被她俘虏。 27-28 传道者说：“看啊，我事事反复探索，要查明万事之理，却没有寻获。但我发现在一千个男子中还可以找到一位正直人，在众女子中却未找到一位。 29 我只发现一件事，上帝造的人本来正直，人却找出各种诡计。”
Ecclesiastes 7
Revised Geneva Translation
Ecclesiastes 7
Revised Geneva Translation
7 Surely there are many things that increase vanity, and how does it benefit a man?
2 For who knows what is good for man in life, in the number of the days of the life of his vanity, seeing he makes them as a shadow? For who can show a man what shall come after him under the Sun?
3 A good name is better than a good ointment, and the day of death is better than the day one is born.
4 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting, because this is the end of all men. And the living shall take it to heart.
5 Anger is better than laughter; for by a sad look the heart is made better.
6 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning. But the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
7 Better it is to hear the rebuke of a wise man than that a man should hear the song of fools.
8 For like the noise of the thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.
9 Surely oppression makes a wise man mad. And the reward destroys the heart.
10 The end of a thing is better than its beginning. To be patient in spirit is better than to be proud in spirit.
11 Do not hasten your spirit to anger. For anger rests in the bosom of fools.
12 Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely of this thing.
13 Wisdom is good with an inheritance, and excellent to those who see the Sun.
14 For man shall rest in the shadow of wisdom, and in the shadow of silver. But the excellency of the knowledge of wisdom gives life to its possessors.
15 Behold the work of God. For who can make straight that which He has made crooked?
16 In the day of wealth, be of good comfort. And in the day of affliction consider this: God has also made this as opposed to that, so that man would find nothing after Him.
17 I have seen all things in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness. And there is a wicked man who continues long in his malice.
18 Do not be overly righteous or make yourself overly wise. Why should you be desolate?
19 Be neither overly wicked nor foolish. Why should you not perish in your time?
20 It is good that you lay hold on this, but still not withdraw your hand from that. For he who fears God shall come forth from them all.
21 Wisdom shall strengthen the wise men more than ten mighty princes who are in the city.
22 Surely there is no man righteous on the Earth, who does good and does not sin.
23 Also, do not give your heart to all the words that men speak, lest you hear your servant cursing you.
24 For oftentimes, your heart also knows that you likewise have cursed others.
25 All this I have tested by wisdom. I thought, “I will be wise,” but it went far from me.
26 It is far off. What may it be? It is profoundly deep. Who can find it?
27 I have applied my heart to know and to inquire and to search wisdom and reason and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness of madness.
28 And I find the woman whose heart is as nets and snares, and her hands as bands, more bitter than death. He who is good before God shall be delivered from her. But the sinner shall be taken by her.
29 “Behold,” says the preacher, “this I have found, adding one by one to find the answer.
30 “And yet my soul seeks, but I do not find it. I have found one man of a thousand. But I have not found a woman among them all.
31 “Lo, only this have I found: that God has made man righteous. But they have sought many inventions.”
Ecclesiastes 7

Ecclesiastes 7

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)
Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?(R)
14 When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one
as well as the other.(S)
Therefore, no one can discover
anything about their future.
15 In this meaningless life(T) of mine I have seen both of these:
the righteous perishing in their righteousness,
and the wicked living long in their wickedness.(U)
16 Do not be overrighteous,
neither be overwise—
why destroy yourself?
17 Do not be overwicked,
and do not be a fool—
why die before your time?(V)
18 It is good to grasp the one
and not let go of the other.
Whoever fears God(W) will avoid all extremes.[a]
20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous,(Z)
no one who does what is right and never sins.(AA)
21 Do not pay attention to every word people say,
or you(AB) may hear your servant cursing you—
22 for you know in your heart
that many times you yourself have cursed others.
23 All this I tested by wisdom and I said,
“I am determined to be wise”(AC)—
but this was beyond me.
24 Whatever exists is far off and most profound—
who can discover it?(AD)
25 So I turned my mind to understand,
to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things(AE)
and to understand the stupidity of wickedness
and the madness of folly.(AF)
26 I find more bitter than death
the woman who is a snare,(AG)
whose heart is a trap
and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
but the sinner she will ensnare.(AH)
27 “Look,” says the Teacher,[b](AI) “this is what I have discovered:
“Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—
28 while I was still searching
but not finding—
I found one upright man among a thousand,
but not one upright woman(AJ) among them all.
29 This only have I found:
God created mankind upright,
but they have gone in search of many schemes.”
