If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.

If a wise H2450 man H376 contendeth H8199 with H854 a foolish H191 man, H376 Whether he rage H7264 or laugh, H7832 there is no H369 rest. H5183

Ἀνὴρ G435 (N-NSM) σοφὸς G4680 (A-NSM) κρίνει G2919 (V-PAI-3S) ἔθνη, G1484 (N-APN) ἀνὴρ G435 (N-NSM) δὲ G1161 (CONJ) φαῦλος G5337 (A-NSM) ὀργιζόμενος G3710 (V-PPP-NSM) καταγελᾶται G2606 (V-PEI-3S) καὶ G2532 (CONJ) οὐ G3756 (PRT-N) καταπτήσσει.

A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.

A fool H3684 uttereth H3318 all H3605 his mind: H7307 But a wise H2450 man keepeth it H7623 in till afterwards. H268

Ὅλον G3650 (A-ASM) τὸν G3588 (T-ASM) θυμὸν G2372 (N-ASM) αὐτοῦ G846 (P-GSM) ἐκφέρει G1627 (V-PAI-3S) ἄφρων, G878 (A-NSM) σοφὸς G4680 (A-NSM) δὲ G1161 (CONJ) ταμιεύεται κατὰ G2596 (PREP) μέρος. G3313 (N-ASN)

“There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise:

There be H1992 four H702 things which are little H6996 upon the earth, H776 But they H1992 are exceeding H2449 wise:^§ H2450

Proverbs 30:24 Heb. wise made wise

Τέσσαρα G5064 (A-NPN) δέ G1161 (CONJ) ἐστιν G2076 (V-PAI-3S) ἐλάχιστα G1646 (A-NPN-S) ἐπὶ G1909 (PREP) τῆς G3588 (T-GSF) γῆς, G1093 (N-GSF) ταῦτα G5023 (D-NPN) δέ G1161 (CONJ) ἐστιν G2076 (V-PAI-3S) σοφώτερα G4680 (A-NPN-C) τῶν G3588 (T-GPM) σοφῶν· G4680 (A-GPM)

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness—and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

The wise man’s H2450 eyes H5869 are in his head; H7218 but the fool H3684 walketh H1980 in darkness: H2822 and I myself H589 perceived H3045 also H1571 that one H259 event H4745 happeneth H7136 H853 to them all. H3605

G846 (P-DPM)

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory forever, since in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!

For H3588 there is no H369 remembrance H2146 of the wise H2450 more than H5973 of the fool H3684 for ever; H5769 seeing that which now H3528 is in the days H3117 to come H935 shall H7911 all H3605 be forgotten. H7911 And how H349 dieth H4191 the wise H2450 man? as H5973 the fool. H3684

Who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all of my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

And who H4310 knoweth H3045 whether he shall be H1961 a wise H2450 man or H176 a fool? H5530 yet shall he have rule H7980 over all H3605 my labour H5999 wherein I have laboured, H5998 and wherein I have shewed myself wise H2449 under H8478 the sun. H8121 This H2088 is also H1571 vanity. H1892

Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn’t know how to receive admonition any more.

Better H2896 is a poor H4542 and a wise H2450 child H3206 than an old H2205 and foolish H3684 king, H4428 who H834 will H3045 no H3808 more H5750 be admonished.^§ H2094

For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?

For H3588 what H4100 hath the wise H2450 more H3148 than H4480 the fool? H3684 what H4100 hath the poor, H6041 that knoweth H3045 to walk H1980 before H5048 the living? H2416

The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

The heart H3820 of the wise H2450 is in the house H1004 of mourning; H60 but the heart H3820 of fools H3684 is in the house H1004 of mirth. H8057

It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools.

It is better H2896 to hear H8085 the rebuke H1606 of the wise, H2450 than for a man H376 to hear H8085 the song H7892 of fools. H3684

Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.

Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.

Wisdom H2451 strengtheneth H5810 the wise H2450 more than ten H6235 mighty H7989 men which H834 are H1961 in the city. H5892

Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

Who H4310 is as the wise H2450 man? and who H4310 knoweth H3045 the interpretation H6592 of a thing? H1697 a man’s H120 wisdom H2451 maketh H215 his face H6440 to shine, H215 and the boldness^§ H5797 of his face H6440 shall be changed. H8132

Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.

Whoso keepeth H8104 the commandment H4687 shall feel^§ H3045 no H3808 evil H7451 thing: H1697 and a wise man’s H2450 heart H3820 discerneth H3045 both time H6256 and judgment. H4941

then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.

then I beheld H7200 H853 all H3605 the work H4639 of God, H430 that H3588 a man H120 cannot H3808 H3201 find out H4672 H853 the work H4639 that H834 is done H6213 under H8478 the sun: H8121 because H7945 though H834 a man H120 labour H5998 to seek it out, H1245 yet he shall H4672 not H3808 find H4672 it; yea farther; H1571 though H518 a wise H2450 man think H559 to know H3045 it, yet shall he H3201 not H3808 be able H3201 to find H4672 it.
