Ecclesiastes 9:17

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

The words of the wise being heard in quiet more than the cry of him ruling among the foolish.

See the chapter Copy

He reproving a man, afterwards shall find favor more than he smoothing the tongue.

The words of the wise one's mouth, grace; and the lips of the foolish one shall swallow him down.

Good to hear the reproof of the wise one, above a man hearing the song of the foolish:

He shall not cry, and be shall not lift up, and he shall not cause his voice to be heard without

He shall not be weak, and he shall not break, till he shall set judgment in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law:

And having said these, he loosed the assembly.

For man s anger works not the justice of God.
