Ecclesiastes 6:10-7:13
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 6:10-7:13
New International Version
10 Whatever exists has already been named,(A)
and what humanity is has been known;
no one can contend
with someone who is stronger.
11 The more the words,
the less the meaning,
and how does that profit anyone?
12 For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days(B) they pass through like a shadow?(C) Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
Wisdom
7 A good name is better than fine perfume,(D)
and the day of death better than the day of birth.(E)
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for death(F) is the destiny(G) of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.
3 Frustration is better than laughter,(H)
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.(I)
5 It is better to heed the rebuke(J) of a wise person
than to listen to the song of fools.
6 Like the crackling of thorns(K) under the pot,
so is the laughter(L) of fools.
This too is meaningless.
7 Extortion turns a wise person into a fool,
and a bribe(M) corrupts the heart.
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
and patience(N) is better than pride.
9 Do not be quickly provoked(O) in your spirit,
for anger resides in the lap of fools.(P)
10 Do not say, “Why were the old days(Q) better than these?”
For it is not wise to ask such questions.
11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing(R)
and benefits those who see the sun.(S)
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:(T)
Who can straighten
what he has made crooked?(U)
Ecclesiastes 6:10-7:13
King James Version
Ecclesiastes 6:10-7:13
King James Version
10 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
7 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
12 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.
13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
