Who can discover it [for it is beyond the grasp of man]? 26And I discovered that [of all irrational sins none has been so destructive in beguiling one away from God as immoral women for] more bitter than death is the woman whose heart is [composed of] snares and nets, and whose hands are chains. 27Behold, I have discovered this, says the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find an explanation,
I said, I will be wise [independently of God], but true wisdom was far from me. 26And I discovered that [of all irrational sins none has been so destructive in beguiling one away from God as immoral women for] more bitter than death is the woman whose heart is [composed of] snares and nets, and whose hands are chains. 11Wisdom along with an inheritance is good And an [excellent] advantage for those who see the sun. 20Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who always does good and who never sins. 25I turned around and directed my heart to know, to investigate and to seek [skillful and godly] wisdom and the reason for things, and to know that wickedness is folly and that foolishness is madness [leading to stupidity and recklessness]. 10Do not say, Why were the old days better than these? For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this. For it is not wise. 17Do not be excessively or willfully wicked and do not be a fool. 23I have tested all this with wisdom. 14In the day of prosperity be joyful, But in the day of adversity consider that God has made the one as well as the other, So that man will not find out anything that will be after him. 12For wisdom is a protection even as money is a protection, But the [excellent] advantage of knowledge is that wisdom shields and preserves the lives of its possessors. Whoever pleases God will escape from her, but the sinner will be taken captive by her [evil]. 18It is good that you take hold of one thing (righteousness) and also not let go of the other (wisdom); for the one who fears and worships God [with awe-filled reverence] will come forth with both of them. 28which I am still seeking but have not found. 23I have tested all this with wisdom. A GOOD name is better than precious perfume, and the day of death better than the day of one's birth. 6For like the crackling of [burning] thorn bushes under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool; And this too is vanity (futility). 13Consider the work of God: Who can make straight what He has bent? 7For oppression makes a wise man foolish, And a bribe corrupts the [good judgment of the] heart. 2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. 23I have tested all this with wisdom. But the heart of fools is [senseless] in the house of pleasure. 13Consider the work of God: Who can make straight what He has bent? I said, I will be wise [independently of God], but true wisdom was far from me. 3Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad (deep in thought) the heart may be happy [because it is growing in wisdom]. 27Behold, I have discovered this, says the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find an explanation,
20Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who always does good and who never sins. 12For wisdom is a protection even as money is a protection, But the [excellent] advantage of knowledge is that wisdom shields and preserves the lives of its possessors. 21Also, do not take seriously everything that is said, so that you will not hear your servant cursing you,

I said, I will be wise [independently of God], but true wisdom was far from me. 2 it is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to heart. 9Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger dwells in the heart of fools. I have found one [b]man among a thousand [who pleases God], but I have not found [such] a woman among all these [a thousand in my harem]. 6For like the crackling of [burning] thorn bushes under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool; And this too is vanity (futility). 25I turned around and directed my heart to know, to investigate and to seek [skillful and godly] wisdom and the reason for things, and to know that wickedness is folly and that foolishness is madness [leading to stupidity and recklessness].
