'Good' in the Bible

I decided to indulge in wine, while still remaining committed to wisdom. I also tried to indulge in foolishness, just enough to determine whether it was good for human beings under heaven given the short time of their lives.

After all, to the person who is good in God's sight, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner he gives the troublesome task of acquiring and accumulating in order to leave it to someone who is good in the sight of God. This also is pointless and chasing after the wind.

I have concluded that the only worthwhile thing for them is to take pleasure in doing good in life;

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.

When possessions increase, so does the number of consumers; therefore what good are they to their owners, except to look at them?

Look! I observed that it is good and prudent to eat, drink, and enjoy all that is good of a person's work that he does on earth during the limited days of his life, which God gives him, for this is his allotment.

A good name exceeds the value of fine perfume, and the day of someone's death exceeds the value of the day of his birth.

Wise use of possessions is good; it brings benefit to the living.

When times are good, be joyful; when times are bad, consider this: God made the one as well as the other, so people won't seek anything outside of his best.

It is good for you to grab hold of this and not let go, because whoever fears God will escape all of these extremes.

For there is not a single righteous man on earth who practices good and does not sin.

Everyone shares the same experience: a single event affects the righteous, the wicked, the good, the clean, the unclean, whoever sacrifices, and whoever does not sacrifice. As it is with the good person, so also it is with the sinner; as it is with someone who takes an oath, so also it is with someone who fears taking an oath.

Wisdom is better than weapons of war, and a single sinner can destroy a lot of good.

For God will judge every deed, along with every secret, whether good or evil.
