For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth 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 labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

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

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

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

By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.

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