Ecclesiastes 7 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers

¹ H8034A good nameH2896is betterH2896than preciousH8081ointmentH3117; and the dayH4194of deathH3117than the dayH3205of one's birth[H8736] .

² H2896It is betterH3212to go[H8800] H1004to the houseH60of mourningH3212, than to go[H8800] H1004to the houseH4960of feastingH834: forH5490that is the endH120of all menH2416; and the livingH5414will lay[H8799] H3820it to his heart.

³ H3708SorrowH2896is betterH7814than laughterH7455: for by the sadnessH6440of the countenanceH3820the heartH3190is made better[H8799] .

⁴ H3820The heartH2450of the wiseH1004is in the houseH60of mourningH3820; but the heartH3684of foolsH1004is in the houseH8057of mirth.

⁵ H2896It is betterH8085to hear[H8800] H1606the rebukeH2450of the wiseH376, than for a manH8085to hear[H8802] H7892the songH3684of fools.

⁶ H6963For as the cracklingH5518of thornsH5518under a potH7814, so is the laughterH3684of the foolH1892: this also is vanity.

⁷ H6233Surely oppressionH2450maketh a wise manH1984mad[H8779] H4979; and a giftH6destroyeth[H8762] H3820the heart.

⁸ H2896BetterH319is the endH1697of a thingH7225than the beginningH750thereof: and the patientH7307in spiritH2896is betterH1362than the proudH7307in spirit.

⁹ H926Be not hasty[H8762] H7307in thy spiritH3707to be angry[H8800] H3708: for angerH5117resteth[H8799] H2436in the bosomH3684of fools.

¹⁰ H559Say[H8799] H7223not thou, What is the cause that the formerH3117daysH2896were betterH7592than these? for thou dost not enquire[H8804] H2451wisely concerning this.

¹¹ H2451WisdomH2896is goodH5159with an inheritanceH3148: and by it there is profitH7200to them that see[H8802] H8121the sun.

¹² H2451For wisdomH6738is a defenceH3701, and moneyH6738is a defenceH3504: but the excellencyH1847of knowledgeH2451is, that wisdomH2421giveth life[H8762] H1167to them that have it.

¹³ H7200Consider[H8798] H4639the workH430of GodH3201: for who can[H8799] H8626make that straight[H8763] H5791, which he hath made crooked[H8765] ?

¹⁴ H3117In the dayH2896of prosperityH2896be joyfulH3117, but in the dayH7451of adversityH7200consider[H8798] H430: GodH6213also hath set[H8804] H5980the one over againstH1700the other, to the endH120that manH4672should find[H8799] H3972nothingH310after him.

¹⁵ H7200All things have I seen[H8804] H3117in the daysH1892of my vanityH3426: there isH6662a justH6man that perisheth[H8802] H6664in his righteousnessH7563, and there is a wickedH748man that prolongeth[H8688] H7451his life in his wickedness.

¹⁶ H6662Be not righteousH7235over much[H8687] H3148; neither make thyself overH2449wise[H8691] H8074: why shouldest thou destroy[H8709]  thyself?

¹⁷ H7235Be not over much[H8687] H7561wicked[H8799] H5530, neither be thou foolishH4191: why shouldest thou die[H8799] H6256before thy time?

¹⁸ H2896It is goodH270that thou shouldest take hold[H8799] H2088of this; yea, also from thisH3240withdraw[H8686] H3027not thine handH3373: for he that fearethH430GodH3318shall come forth[H8799]  of them all.

¹⁹ H2451WisdomH5810strengtheneth[H8799] H2450the wiseH6235more than tenH7989mightyH5892men which are in the city.

²⁰ H6662For there is not a justH120manH776upon earthH6213, that doeth[H8799] H2896goodH2398, and sinneth[H8799]  not.

²¹ H5414Also take[H8799] H3820no heedH1697unto all wordsH1696that are spoken[H8762] H8085; lest thou hear[H8799] H5650thy servantH7043curse[H8764]  thee:

²² H6471For oftentimesH7227 H3820also thine own heartH3045knoweth[H8804] H7043that thou thyself likewise hast cursed[H8765] H312others.

²³ H2090All thisH5254have I proved[H8765] H2451by wisdomH559: I said[H8804] H2449, I will be wise[H8799] H7350; but it was far from me.

²⁴ H7350That which is far offH6013, and exceeding deepH4672, who can find it out[H8799] ?

²⁵ H5437I applied[H8804] H3820mine heartH3045to know[H8800] H8446, and to search[H8800] H1245, and to seek out[H8763] H2451wisdomH2808, and the reasonH3045of things, and to know[H8800] H7562the wickednessH3689of follyH5531, even of foolishnessH1947and madness:

²⁶ H4672And I find[H8802] H4751more bitterH4194than deathH802the womanH3820, whose heartH4685is snaresH2764and netsH3027, and her handsH612as bandsH2896: whoso pleasethH6440 H430GodH4422shall escape[H8735] H2398from her; but the sinner[H8802] H3920shall be taken[H8735]  by her.

²⁷ H7200Behold[H8798] H4672, this have I found[H8804] H559, saith[H8804] H6953the preacherH259, counting oneH259by oneH4672, to find out[H8800] H2808the account:

²⁸ H5315Which yet my soulH1245seeketh[H8765] H4672, but I find[H8804] H259not: oneH120manH505among a thousandH4672have I found[H8804] H802; but a womanH4672among all those have I not found[H8804] .

²⁹ H7200Lo[H8798] H905, this onlyH4672have I found[H8804] H430, that GodH6213hath made[H8804] H120manH3477uprightH1245; but they have sought out[H8765] H7227manyH2810inventions.
