Ecclesiastes 2:3

Ecclesiastes 2:26

Ecclesiastes 4:13

13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

Ecclesiastes 5:5

5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

Ecclesiastes 7:1-3

1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

Ecclesiastes 7:10

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

Ecclesiastes 7:14

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

Ecclesiastes 8:15

Ecclesiastes 9:2

2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
