For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.

There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

For a dream comes through much business; and a fool's voice is known by a multitude of words.

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

All his days also he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.

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

Be not overly righteous; neither make yourself overly wise: why should you destroy yourself?

Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroys much good.

By much slothfulness the building decays; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.

And further, my son, be admonished by these: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
