Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a man with understanding walks a straight path.



the joy of the wicked has been brief
and the happiness of the godless has lasted only a moment?

All that my eyes desired, I did not deny them. I did not refuse myself any pleasure, for I took pleasure in all my struggles. This was my reward for all my struggles.

for like the crackling of burning thorns under the pot,
so is the laughter of the fool.
This too is futile.

Joy and rejoicing have been removed from the orchard;
no one is singing or shouting for joy in the vineyards.
No one tramples grapes in the winepresses.
I have put an end to the shouting.

Be miserable and mourn and weep. Your laughter must change to mourning and your joy to sorrow.

Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a man with understanding walks a straight path.

For if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, since they will be many. All that comes is futile. Rejoice, young man, while you are young, and let your heart be glad in the days of your youth. And walk in the ways of your heart and in the sights of your eyes; but know that for all of these things God will bring you to judgment.


Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a man with understanding walks a straight path.


Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a man with understanding walks a straight path.

Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a man with understanding walks a straight path.


Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense,
but a man with understanding keeps silent.

Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a man with understanding walks a straight path.
