These are more wise sayings of Solomon, copied out by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah.

But a fool’s [unreasonable] wrath is heavier and more burdensome than both of them.

For with much wisdom there is much sorrow; the more someone adds to knowledge, the more someone adds to grief.

I bought male and female slaves and had slaves born in my house. I also possessed herds and flocks larger than any who preceded me in Jerusalem.

So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

There was nothing more blessed for Man than that he should eat and drink, and see his desireth for blessedness in his toil, - even this, saw, I myself, that, from the hand of God, it was.

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?

Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.

and more fortunate than both is he who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

Then I considered all the skillful work that is done: Surely it is nothing more than competition between one person and another. This also is profitless -- like chasing the wind.

There is one man, no more but himself alone, having neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of his careful travail, his eyes cannot be satisfied with riches. Yet, doth he not remember himself, and say, "For whom do I take such travail? For whose pleasure do I thus consume away my life?" This is also a vain and miserable thing.

Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

In spite of many daydreams, pointless actions, and empty words, it is more important to fear God.

Whereas many riches are, there are many also that spend them away. And what pleasure more hath he that possesseth them, saving that he may look upon them with his eyes?

What is more, he eats in darkness all his days, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.

Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.

All of man's labor is for nothing more than to fill his stomach -- yet his appetite is never satisfied!

The conclusion of something is better than its beginning, and a patient attitude is more valuable than a proud one.

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.

and I saw all the work of God, I concluded that man cannot discover the work that is done under the sun. Even though man may labor in seeking, he will not discover; and [more than that], though a wise man thinks and claims he knows, he will not be able to find it out.

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
