A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

I said in my heart concerning the matter of the sons of man that God might cleanse them, so as to see that they themselves are beasts.

And I have turned, and I see a vain thing under the sun:

Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart be hasty to say a word before God. For God is in Heaven, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few.

For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool's speech with a multitude of words.

If a man beget a hundred sons, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, but his soul be not filled with good, and also he have no burial, I say an untimely birth is better than he.

For what profit hath the wise man, over the dullard? What can, the poor man, know - so as to walk before the living?

And I saw a thing more bitter than death, even the woman whose heart is full of tricks and nets, and whose hands are as bands. He with whom God is pleased will get free from her, but the sinner will be taken by her.

All this I have seen so as to give my heart to every work that hath been done under the sun; a time that man hath ruled over man to his own evil.

But all this I have laid unto my heart, so as to clear up the whole of this, that the righteous and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God, neither love nor hatred doth man know, the whole is before them.

I have turned so as to see under the sun, that not to the swift is the race, nor to the mighty the battle, nor even to the wise bread, nor even to the intelligent wealth, nor even to the skilful grace, for time and chance happen with them all.

Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun, and it impressed me.

Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to stink and ferment; so a little folly is weightier than wisdom and honour.

Furthermore, the way a fool lives shows he has no sense; he proclaims to everyone that he's a fool.

If someone's ax is blunt the edge isn't sharpened then more strength will be needed. Putting wisdom to work will bring success.
