'Good' in the Bible
I also {explored} {the effects of indulging my flesh} with wine. My mind guiding me with wisdom, {I investigated} folly so that I might discover what [is] good under heaven for {humans} to do {during the days of their lives}.
For to the person who [is] good in his eyes, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and heaping up only to give [it] to [him who is] pleasing to him. This also [is] vanity and chasing wind!
Look! I have discovered what is good and fitting: to eat and to drink and {to enjoy} all [the fruit of] the toil with which one toils under the sun during the number of the days of his life that God gives to him--for this [is] his lot.
For who knows what [is] good for a man in his life during the few days of his fleeting life, which are fleeting as a shadow? For who can tell anyone what will happen {in the future} under the sun?
A good name [is] better than precious ointment, and the day of death [is better] than the day of one's birth.
Sorrow [is] better than laughter, for by sadness of countenance the heart is made good.
Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance; {it benefits the living}.
[It is] good to take hold of the one and also must not let go of the other; for whoever fears God will hold both of them secure.
Surely there is no one righteous on the earth who [continually] does good and never sins.
Although the sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I also know that it will be good for those who fear God--because they fear {his presence}.
The same fate [comes] to everyone: to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and to the wicked, to the clean and to the unclean, to those who sacrifice and to those who do not sacrifice. As [with] the good [man], so also to the sinner; [as with] those who swear an oath, so [also] those who fear oaths.
Wisdom [is] better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.
