Ecclesiastes 8:1 Who is as the wise2450 man? and who knoweth3045 the interpretation6592 of a thing?1697 a man's120 wisdom2451 maketh his face6440 to shine,215 and the boldness5797{Heb. the strength} of his face6440 shall be changed.8132 cr

Ecclesiastes 8:2 I counsel thee to keep8104 the king's4428 commandment,6310 and that in regard1700 of the oath7621 of God.430 cr 3 Be not hasty926 to go out3212 of his sight:6440 stand5975 not in an evil7451 thing;1697 for he doeth6213 whatsoever pleaseth2654 him. cr 4 Where the word1697 of a king4428 is, there is power:7983 and who may say559 unto him, What doest6213 thou? cr 5 Whoso keepeth8104 the commandment4687 shall feel3045{Heb. shall know} no evil7451 thing:1697 and a wise man's2450 heart3820 discerneth3045 both time6256 and judgment.4941 cr

Ecclesiastes 8:6 Because to every purpose2656 there is3426 time6256 and judgment,4941 therefore the misery7451 of man120 is great7227 upon him. cr 7 For he knoweth3045 not that which shall be: for who can tell5046 him when it shall be?{Or, how it shall be?} cr 8 There is no man120 that hath power7989 over the spirit7307 to retain3607 the spirit;7307 neither hath he power7983 in the day3117 of death:4194 and there is no discharge4917{Or, casting of weapons} in that war;4421 neither shall wickedness7562 deliver4422 those that are given1167 to it. cr 9 All this have I seen,7200 and applied5414 my heart3820 unto every work4639 that is done6213 under the sun:8121 there is a time6256 wherein one man120 ruleth7980 over another to his own hurt.7451 cr

Ecclesiastes 8:10 And so3651 I saw7200 the wicked7563 buried,6912 who had come935 and gone1980 from the place4725 of the holy,6918 and they were forgotten7911 in the city5892 where they had so done:6213 this is also vanity.1892 cr 11 Because sentence6599 against an evil7451 work4639 is not executed6213 speedily,4120 therefore the heart3820 of the sons1121 of men120 is fully set4390 in them to do6213 evil.7451 cr 12 Though a sinner2398 do6213 evil7451 an hundred times,3967 and his days be prolonged,748 yet surely I know3045 that it shall be well2896 with them that fear3373 God,430 which fear3372 before6440 him: cr 13 But it shall not be well2896 with the wicked,7563 neither shall he prolong748 his days,3117 which are as a shadow;6738 because he feareth3373 not before6440 God.430 cr

Ecclesiastes 8:14 There is3426 a vanity1892 which is done6213 upon the earth;776 that there be just6662 men, unto whom it happeneth5060 according to the work4639 of the wicked;7563 again, there be3426 wicked7563 men, to whom it happeneth5060 according to the work4639 of the righteous:6662 I said559 that this also1571 is vanity.1892 cr 15 Then I commended7623 mirth,8057 because a man120 hath no better thing2896 under the sun,8121 than to eat,398 and to drink,8354 and to be merry:8055 for that shall abide3867 with him of his labour5999 the days3117 of his life,2416 which God430 giveth5414 him under the sun.8121 cr

Ecclesiastes 8:16 When I applied5414 mine heart3820 to know3045 wisdom,2451 and to see7200 the business6045 that is done6213 upon the earth:776 (for also there is that neither day3117 nor night3915 seeth7200 sleep8142 with his eyes:)5869 cr 17 Then I beheld7200 all the work4639 of God,430 that a man120 cannot3201 find out4672 the work4639 that is done6213 under the sun:8121 because834 though7945 a man120 labour5998 to seek it out,1245 yet he shall not find4672 it; yea further; though a wise2450 man think559 to know3045 it, yet shall he not be able3201 to find4672 it. cr
