I obtained servants and maids, and sons of the house were to me; also obtaining cattle, and many sheep were to me more than all that were before me in Jerusalem.

And I was magnified and increased more than all being before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom stood to me.

And I saw there is profit to wisdom more than to folly, as the excellence of the light above darkness.

And I said in my heart, As the event of the foolish one, also I, it will meet me; and wherefore then was I more wise? And I spake in my heart, This is also vanity.

And I saw that no good more than that man shall rejoice in his works; for this is his portion: for who shall bring him to look upon what shall be after him?

And I praise the dead already dead more than the living they yet living.

Watch thy feet when thou shalt go to the house of God, and draw near to hear, rather than give the sacrifice of the foolish, for they not knowing the doing of evil.

Good that thou shalt not vow rather than thou shalt vow and not requite.

For what will remain to the wise one more than the foolish one? what to the poor that shall know to go before the living

Good to go to the house of mourning rather than to go to the house of drinking, in that it is the end of every man; and he living shall give to his heart.

Wisdom shall strengthen to the wise one more than ten having power which were in the city.

And so then I saw the unjust buried, and they came and they will go from the holy place, and they will be forgotten in the city where they did thus: also this is vanity.

The words of the wise being heard in quiet more than the cry of him ruling among the foolish.

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and thy heart shall do thee good in the days of thy youth, and go in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: and know thou, that for all these God will bring thee into judgment
