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

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

ολον τον θυμον αυτου εκφερει αφρων σοφος δε ταμιευεται κατα μερος

Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Seest H2372 (QalPerf) thou a man H376 that is hasty H213 (QalPtc) in his words?^§ H1697 There is more hope H8615 of a fool H3684 than of him.

Proverbs 29:20 Or, in his matters?

εαν ιδης ανδρα ταχυν εν λογοις γινωσκε οτι ελπιδα εχει μαλλον αφρων αυτου

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 (QalActPtc) in darkness: H2822 and I myself perceived H3045 (QalPerf) also that one H259 event H4745 happeneth H7136 (QalImpf) to them all.

του σοφου οι οφθαλμοι αυτου εν κεφαλη αυτου και ο αφρων εν σκοτει πορευεται και εγνων και γε εγω οτι συναντημα εν συναντησεται τοις πασιν αυτοις

Then I said in my heart, “As it happens to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise?” Then I said in my heart that this also is vanity.

Then H227 said H559 (QalPerf) I in my heart, H3820 As it happeneth H4745 to the fool, H3684 so it happeneth H7136 (QalImpf) even to me;^§ H1571 and why was I then more H3148 wise? H2449 (QalPerf) Then I said H1696 (PielPerf) in my heart, H3820 that this also is vanity. H1892

Ecclesiastes 2:15 Heb. happeneth to me, even to me

και ειπα εγω εν καρδια μου ως συναντημα του αφρονος και γε εμοι συναντησεται μοι και ινα τι εσοφισαμην εγω τοτε περισσον ελαλησα εν καρδια μου διοτι αφρων εκ περισσευματος λαλει οτι και γε τουτο ματαιοτης

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 there is no 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 (QalActPtc) shall all be forgotten. H7911 (NiphPerf) And how dieth H4191 (QalImpf) the wise H2450 man? as the fool. H3684

οτι ουκ εστιν μνημη του σοφου μετα του αφρονος εις αιωνα καθοτι ηδη αι ημεραι αι ερχομεναι τα παντα επελησθη και πως αποθανειται ο σοφος μετα του αφρονος

The fool folds his hands together and ruins himself.

The fool H3684 foldeth H2263 his hands H3027 together, H2263 (QalActPtc) and eateth H398 (QalActPtc) his own flesh. H1320

ο αφρων περιελαβεν τας χειρας αυτου και εφαγεν τας σαρκας αυτου

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 will H3045 (QalPerf) no more be admonished.^§ H2094 (NiphInf)

Ecclesiastes 4:13 Heb. who knoweth not to be admonished

αγαθος παις πενης και σοφος υπερ βασιλεα πρεσβυτερον και αφρονα ος ουκ εγνω του προσεχειν ετι

Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.

Keep H8104 (QalImpv) thy foot H7272 when thou goest H3212 (QalImpf) to the house H1004 of God, H430 and be more ready H7138 to hear, H8085 (QalInf) than to give H5414 (QalInf) the sacrifice H2077 of fools: H3684 for they consider H3045 (QalActPtc) not that they do H6213 (QalInf) evil. H7451

^[4:17] φυλαξον ποδα σου εν ω εαν πορευη εις οικον του θεου και εγγυς του ακουειν υπερ δομα των αφρονων θυσια σου οτι ουκ εισιν ειδοτες του ποιησαι κακον

For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.

For a dream H2472 cometh H935 (QalActPtc) through the multitude H7230 of business; H6045 and a fool’s H3684 voice H6963 is known by multitude H7230 of words. H1697

^[5:2] οτι παραγινεται ενυπνιον εν πληθει περισπασμου και φωνη αφρονος εν πληθει λογων

When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.

When thou vowest H5087 (QalImpf) a vow H5088 unto God, H430 defer H309 (PielImpf) not to pay H7999 (PielInf) it; for he hath no pleasure H2656 in fools: H3684 pay H7999 (PielImpv) that which thou hast vowed. H5087 (QalImpf)

^[5:3] καθως αν ευξη ευχην τω θεω μη χρονισης του αποδουναι αυτην οτι ουκ εστιν θελημα εν αφροσιν συν οσα εαν ευξη αποδος

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

For what hath the wise H2450 more H3148 than the fool? H3684 what hath the poor, H6041 that knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) to walk H1980 (QalInf) before the living? H2416

οτι τις περισσεια τω σοφω υπερ τον αφρονα διοτι ο πενης οιδεν πορευθηναι κατεναντι της ζωης

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

καρδια σοφων εν οικω πενθους και καρδια αφρονων εν οικω ευφροσυνης

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 (QalInf) the rebuke H1606 of the wise, H2450 than for a man H376 to hear H8085 (QalActPtc) the song H7892 of fools. H3684

αγαθον το ακουσαι επιτιμησιν σοφου υπερ ανδρα ακουοντα ασμα αφρονων

For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

For as the crackling^§ H6963 of thorns H5518 under a pot, H5518 so is the laughter H7814 of the fool: H3684 this also is vanity. H1892

Ecclesiastes 7:6 Heb. sound

οτι ως φωνη των ακανθων υπο τον λεβητα ουτως γελως των αφρονων και γε τουτο ματαιοτης

Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

Be not hasty H926 (PielImpf) in thy spirit H7307 to be angry: H3707 (QalInf) for anger H3708 resteth H5117 (QalImpf) in the bosom H2436 of fools. H3684

μη σπευσης εν πνευματι σου του θυμουσθαι οτι θυμος εν κολπω αφρονων αναπαυσεται

The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.

The words H1697 of wise H2450 men are heard H8085 (NiphPtc) in quiet H5183 more than the cry H2201 of him that ruleth H4910 (QalActPtc) among fools. H3684

λογοι σοφων εν αναπαυσει ακουονται υπερ κραυγην εξουσιαζοντων εν αφροσυναις

A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left.

A wise man’s H2450 heart H3820 is at his right hand; H3225 but a fool’s H3684 heart H3820 at his left. H8040

καρδια σοφου εις δεξιον αυτου και καρδια αφρονος εις αριστερον αυτου

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

The words H1697 of a wise man’s H2450 mouth H6310 are gracious;^§ H2580 but the lips H8193 of a fool H3684 will swallow up H1104 (PielImpf) himself.

Ecclesiastes 10:12 Heb. grace

λογοι στοματος σοφου χαρις και χειλη αφρονος καταποντιουσιν αυτον

The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he doesn’t know how to go to the city.

The labour H5999 of the foolish H3684 wearieth H3021 (PielImpf) every one of them, because he knoweth H3045 (QalPerf) not how to go H3212 (QalInf) to the city. H5892

μοχθος των αφρονων κοπωσει αυτους ος ουκ εγνω του πορευθηναι εις πολιν
