Ecclesiastes 7:18 | |
NASB: It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them.

(GOD'S WORD®) KJV: It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all. ASV: It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth from them all. BBE: It is good to take this in your hand and not to keep your hand from that; he who has the fear of God will be free of the two. DBY: It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God cometh forth from them all. JPS: It is good that thou shouldest take hold of the one; yea, also from the other withdraw not thy hand; for he that feareth God shall discharge himself of them all. WBS: It is good that thou shouldst take hold of this; yes, also from this withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall escape from them all. WEB: It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also from that don't withdraw your hand; for he who fears God will come forth from them all. YLT: [It is] good that thou dost lay hold on this, and also, from that withdrawest not thy hand, for whoso is fearing God goeth out with them all. | |
