Ecclesiastes 7:18
Thomson 1808
It is good to restrain thyself in the one case; and surely for the other consideration thou shouldst not pollute thy hand. Because to them who fear God all things may happen,
Brenton 1851
It is well for thee to hold fast by this; also by this defile not thine hand: for to them that fear God all things shall come forth well.
Greek · Brenton
Ἀγαθὸν τὸ ἀντέχεσθαί σε ἐν τούτῳ, καί γε ἀπὸ τούτου μὴ μιάνῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου, ὅτι φοβουμένοις τὸν Θεὸν ἐξελεύσεται τὰ πάντα.
