8Better is the end of a matter than the beginning; and the people patient in spirit are better than the proud in spirit.
9Do not be quick to anger in your spirit, for anger resides in the hearts of fools.
10Do not say, “Why were the days of old better than these?” For it is not because of wisdom that you ask this question.
11Wisdom, like an inheritance, is good. It benefits those who see the sun.
12For wisdom provides protection as money can provide protection, but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to whoever has it.
13Consider the deeds of God: Who can straighten out anything he has made crooked?
14When times are good, live happily in that good, but when times are bad, consider this: God has allowed both to exist side by side. For this reason, no one will find out anything that is coming after him.
15I have seen many things in my meaningless days. There are righteous people who perish in spite of their righteousness, and there are wicked people who live a long life in spite of their evil.
16Do not be self-righteous, wise in your own eyes. Why should you destroy yourself?
17Do not be too wicked or foolish. Why should you die before your time?
18It is good that you should take hold of this wisdom, and that you should not let go of righteousness. For the person who fears God will meet all his obligations.
19Wisdom is powerful in the wise man, more than ten rulers in a city.
20There is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
21Do not listen to every word that is spoken, because you might hear your servant curse you.
22Similarly, you know yourself that in your own heart you have often cursed others.
