A good name is better than fine perfume,
and the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.
It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
since that is the end of all mankind,
and the living should take it to heart.
The heart of the wise is in a house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in a house of pleasure.
It is better to listen to rebuke from a wise person
than to listen to the song of fools,
for like the crackling of burning thorns under the pot,
so is the laughter of the fool.
This too is futile.
Surely, the practice of extortion turns a wise person into a fool,
and a bribe corrupts the mind.
The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit.
Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these? ”
since it is not wise of you to ask this.
because wisdom is protection as silver is protection;
but the advantage of knowledge
is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity, consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that no one can discover anything that will come after him.
In my futile life[fn] I have seen everything: someone righteous perishes in spite of his righteousness, and someone wicked lives long in spite of his evil.
Don’t be excessively righteous, and don’t be overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
Don’t be excessively wicked, and don’t be foolish. Why should you die before your time?
It is good that you grasp the one and do not let the other slip from your hand. For the one who fears God will end up with both of them.
Don’t pay attention[fn] to everything people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you,
I have tested all this by wisdom. I resolved, “I will be wise,” but it was beyond me.
I turned my thoughts to know, explore, and examine wisdom and an explanation for things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity and folly is madness.

And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a trap: her heart a net and her hands chains. The one who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner will be captured by her.
“Look,” says the Teacher, “I have discovered this by adding one thing to another to find out the explanation,
“which my soul continually searches for but does not find: I found one person in a thousand, but none of those was a woman.
