A good name⁸⁰³⁴ is better²⁸⁹⁶ than precious²⁸⁹⁶ ointment;⁸⁰⁸¹ and the day³¹¹⁷ of death⁴¹⁹⁴ than the day³¹¹⁷ of one's birth.³²⁰⁵

It is better²⁸⁹⁶ to go³²¹² to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of mourning,⁶⁰ than to go³²¹² to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of feasting:⁴⁹⁶⁰ for⁸³⁴ that is the end⁵⁴⁹⁰ of all men;¹²⁰ and the living²⁴¹⁶ will lay⁵⁴¹⁴ it to his heart.³⁸²⁰

Sorrow³⁷⁰⁸ is better²⁸⁹⁶ than laughter:⁷⁸¹⁴ for by the sadness⁷⁴⁵⁵ of the countenance⁶⁴⁴⁰ the heart³⁸²⁰ is made better.³¹⁹⁰

Isaiah 48:9-10

The heart³⁸²⁰ of the wise²⁴⁵⁰ is in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of mourning;⁶⁰ but the heart³⁸²⁰ of fools³⁶⁸⁴ is in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of mirth.⁸⁰⁵⁷

It is better²⁸⁹⁶ to hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the rebuke¹⁶⁰⁶ of the wise,²⁴⁵⁰ than for a man³⁷⁶ to hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the song⁷⁸⁹² of fools.³⁶⁸⁴

For as the crackling⁶⁹⁶³ of thorns⁵⁵¹⁸ under a pot,⁵⁵¹⁸ so is the laughter⁷⁸¹⁴ of the fool:³⁶⁸⁴ this also is vanity.¹⁸⁹²

Surely oppression⁶²³³ maketh a wise man²⁴⁵⁰ mad;¹⁹⁸⁴ and a gift⁴⁹⁷⁹ destroyeth⁶ the heart.³⁸²⁰

Better²⁸⁹⁶ is the end³¹⁹ of a thing¹⁶⁹⁷ than the beginning⁷²²⁵ thereof: and the patient⁷⁵⁰ in spirit⁷³⁰⁷ is better²⁸⁹⁶ than the proud¹³⁶² in spirit.⁷³⁰⁷

Be not hasty⁹²⁶ in thy spirit⁷³⁰⁷ to be angry:³⁷⁰⁷ for anger³⁷⁰⁸ resteth⁵¹¹⁷ in the bosom²⁴³⁶ of fools.³⁶⁸⁴

Say⁵⁵⁹ not thou, What is the cause that the former⁷²²³ days³¹¹⁷ were better²⁸⁹⁶ than these? for thou dost not enquire⁷⁵⁹² wisely²⁴⁵¹ concerning this.

Wisdom²⁴⁵¹ is good²⁸⁹⁶ with an inheritance:⁵¹⁵⁹ and by it there is profit³¹⁴⁸ to them that see⁷²⁰⁰ the sun.⁸¹²¹

For wisdom²⁴⁵¹ is a defence,⁶⁷³⁸ and money³⁷⁰¹ is a defence:⁶⁷³⁸ but the excellency³⁵⁰⁴ of knowledge¹⁸⁴⁷ is, that wisdom²⁴⁵¹ giveth life²⁴²¹ to them that have¹¹⁶⁷ it.

Consider⁷²⁰⁰ the work⁴⁶³⁹ of Elohim:⁴³⁰ for who can³²⁰¹ make that straight,⁸⁶²⁶ which he hath made crooked?⁵⁷⁹¹

In the day³¹¹⁷ of prosperity²⁸⁹⁶ be joyful,²⁸⁹⁶ but in the day³¹¹⁷ of adversity⁷⁴⁵¹ consider:⁷²⁰⁰ Elohim⁴³⁰ also hath set⁶²¹³ the one over against⁵⁹⁸⁰ the other, to the end¹⁷⁰⁰ that man¹²⁰ should find⁴⁶⁷² nothing³⁸⁰⁸ after³¹⁰ him.

All things have I seen⁷²⁰⁰ in the days³¹¹⁷ of my vanity:¹⁸⁹² there is³⁴²⁶ a just⁶⁶⁶² man that perisheth⁶ in his righteousness,⁶⁶⁶⁴ and there is³⁴²⁶ a wicked⁷⁵⁶³ man that prolongeth⁷⁴⁸ his life in his wickedness.⁷⁴⁵¹

Be not righteous⁶⁶⁶² over much;⁷²³⁵ neither make thyself over³¹⁴⁸ wise:²⁴⁴⁹ why shouldest thou destroy⁸⁰⁷⁴ thyself?

Be not over much⁷²³⁵ wicked,⁷⁵⁶¹ neither be thou foolish:⁵⁵³⁰ why shouldest thou die⁴¹⁹¹ before thy time?⁶²⁵⁶

It is good²⁸⁹⁶ that thou shouldest take hold²⁷⁰ of this;²⁰⁸⁸ yea, also from this²⁰⁸⁸ withdraw³²⁴⁰ not thine hand:³⁰²⁷ for he that feareth³³⁷³ Elohim⁴³⁰ shall come forth³³¹⁸ of them all.

Wisdom²⁴⁵¹ strengtheneth⁵⁸¹⁰ the wise²⁴⁵⁰ more than ten⁶²³⁵ mighty⁷⁹⁸⁹ men which are in the city.⁵⁸⁹²

Romans 3:23

For there is not a just⁶⁶⁶² man¹²⁰ upon earth,⁷⁷⁶ that doeth⁶²¹³ good,²⁸⁹⁶ and sinneth²³⁹⁸ not.

1 John 1:8; Romans 3:12

Also take⁵⁴¹⁴ no heed³⁸²⁰ unto all words¹⁶⁹⁷ that are spoken;¹⁶⁹⁶ lest thou hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ curse⁷⁰⁴³ thee:

For oftentimes⁶⁴⁷¹ also thine own heart³⁸²⁰ knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ that thou thyself likewise hast cursed⁷⁰⁴³ others.³¹²

All this²⁰⁹⁰ have I proved⁵²⁵⁴ by wisdom:²⁴⁵¹ I said,⁵⁵⁹ I will be wise;²⁴⁴⁹ but it was far⁷³⁵⁰ from me.

That which is far off,⁷³⁵⁰ and exceeding deep,⁶⁰¹³ who can find it out?⁴⁶⁷²

I applied⁵⁴³⁷ mine heart³⁸²⁰ to know,³⁰⁴⁵ and to search,⁸⁴⁴⁶ and to seek out¹²⁴⁵ wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ and the reason²⁸⁰⁸ of things, and to know³⁰⁴⁵ the wickedness⁷⁵⁶² of folly,³⁶⁸⁹ even of foolishness⁵⁵³¹ and madness:¹⁹⁴⁷

And I find⁴⁶⁷² more bitter⁴⁷⁵¹ than death⁴¹⁹⁴ the woman,⁸⁰² whose heart³⁸²⁰ is snares⁴⁶⁸⁵ and nets,²⁷⁶⁴ and her hands³⁰²⁷ as bands:⁶¹² whoso pleaseth²⁸⁹⁶ Elohim⁴³⁰ shall escape⁴⁴²² from her; but the sinner²³⁹⁸ shall be taken³⁹²⁰ by her.

Behold,⁷²⁰⁰ this have I found,⁴⁶⁷² saith⁵⁵⁹ the preacher,⁶⁹⁵³ counting one²⁵⁹ by one,²⁵⁹ to find out⁴⁶⁷² the account:²⁸⁰⁸

Which yet my soul⁵³¹⁵ seeketh,¹²⁴⁵ but I find⁴⁶⁷² not: one²⁵⁹ man¹²⁰ among a thousand⁵⁰⁵ have I found;⁴⁶⁷² but a woman⁸⁰² among all those have I not found.⁴⁶⁷²

Lo,⁷²⁰⁰ this only⁹⁰⁵ have I found,⁴⁶⁷² that Elohim⁴³⁰ hath made⁶²¹³ man¹²⁰ upright;³⁴⁷⁷ but they have sought out¹²⁴⁵ many⁷²²⁷ inventions.²⁸¹⁰
