Ecclesiastes 7:1 King James Version (KJV)
7 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
Ecclesiastes 7:1
AKJV 1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
These are my thoughts.
We are not just to worry about the name we make for ourselves but we need to be concerned that we don’t do damage to His name because we as Christians represent Him.

I was reading Ecclesiastes 7 this morning and verse 11-12 caught my attention so I thought I would type out what I read since reading what you wrote reminded me of it.
Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
I remember reading that the Bible says that fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 7:3
KJV 3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
AKJV 3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
These are my thoughts.
Thru sorrow we can see our need for Jesus who can give us a true reason to be happy.

From the book Aramic English New Testament. Ephesians 6:24
Grace be with all them who love our Master Y'shua (Jesus) the Mashiyach (messiah) without falseness. Amen.
The letter Ephesians was written from Rome( about 60 AD, probably from prison) and was sent by hand of Tychicus.

Ecclesiastes 7:2
KJV 2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
AKJV 2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
These are my thoughts.
When we have nothing going our way God can bring us up but if everything is going our way then often times we will not truly live for the Lord.

KJV 5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

Wisdom leads you down the right way pointing you to the Lord but fools will tell you what you want to hear.

Ecclesiastes 7:7
KJV 7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

Oppression can bring the wisest down we are to trust in the Lord to bring us thru it instead of our wisdom.

AKJV 10 That which has been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

Ecclesiastes 6:12
KJV 12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
AKJV 12 For who knows what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spends as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
These are my thoughts.
Without having purpose life is in vain but the purpose of life is to please the Lord and by this life is in Him and not in vain.

When we go thru good times we should praise Him but thru the hard times we should turn to Him.

KJV 16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?

Sometimes falls happen simply because we choose to take on more than we can handle.

Proverbs 6:18
KJV 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

If we follow after what our heart wants then it leads us to sin this is why God is to change our heart.

To be given wisdom is for the Lord to give us seeking Him often times brings us a wisdom as we get closer to Him.

AKJV 25 I applied my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

We can seek this world for wisdom but it is nothing compared to God’s wisdom and the wisdom we gain thru Him.
