1158. Ecclesiastes 7 - daily bible verse

Ecclesiastes 7:1-5, Ecclesiastes 7:8-9, Ecclesiastes 7:13-14

7 A good (precious) name is better than precious (good) ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

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.

3 Sorrow (of grief) is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance (face or presence) the heart is made better (causative - make well, used aright).

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth (glee or pleasure).

5 It is better to hear the rebuke (sharp criticism) of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

Ecclesiastes 7: 8-9

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

Ecclesiastes 7:13-14

13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
