Ecclesiastes 9:17

Modern King James Version

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

See the chapter Copy

He who rebukes a man shall afterwards find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue.

The words of a wise mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow him.

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

He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.

He shall not fail nor be discouraged until He has set judgment in the earth; and the coasts shall wait for His Law.

And saying these things, he dismissed the assembly.

For the wrath of man does not work out the righteousness of God.
