A collection of wisdom for living in a broken world: a good name is better than fine ointment, and the house of mourning teaches more than the house of feasting. The Preacher praises the value of wisdom and patience, warns against self-righteous extremes, confesses that no one on earth is righteous who never sins, and admits the limits of even his own wisdom to find out the deep scheme of things.
