Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Ecclesiastes 7

Deli

Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger resides in the bosom of fools.

In the day of prosperity be happy, But in the day of adversity consider— God has made the one as well as the other So that man will not discover anything that will be after him.

The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit.

Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.

For wisdom is protection just as money is protection, But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.

A good name is better than a good ointment, And the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.

It is better to listen to the rebuke of a wise man Than for one to listen to the song of fools.

It is better to go to a house of mourning Than to go to a house of feasting, Because that is the end of every man, And the living takes it to heart.

The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning, While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.
