Ecclesiastes 9:17

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.

See the chapter Copy

One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.

He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands will wait for his law.*

When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.
