EC-8:1 Who [is] as the wise [man]? and who knoweth the
interpretation of a
thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness
of his face
shall be changed.
EC-8:2 I [counsel thee] to keep the king's commandment, and
[that] in regard
of the oath of God.
EC-8:3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an
evil thing; for
he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
EC-8:4 Where the word of a king [is, there is] power: and who
may say unto
him, What doest thou?
EC-8:5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing:
and a wise
man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
EC-8:6 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment,
therefore the
misery of man [is] great upon him.
EC-8:7 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell
him when it
shall be?
EC-8:8 [There is] no man that hath power over the spirit to
retain the
spirit; neither [hath he] power in the day of death: and [there
is] no
discharge in [that] war; neither shall wickedness deliver those
that are given
to it.
EC-8:9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every
work that is
done under the sun: [there is] a time wherein one man ruleth
over another to
his own hurt.
EC-8:10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone
from the place
of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had
so done: this
[is] also vanity.
EC-8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed
speedily,
therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to
do evil.
EC-8:12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his
[days] be
prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them
that fear God,
which fear before him:
EC-8:13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall
he prolong
[his] days, [which are] as a shadow; because he feareth not
before God.
EC-8:14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that
there be just
[men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the
wicked; again,
there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the
work of the
righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
EC-8:15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better
thing under the
sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall
abide with him
of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under
the sun.
EC-8:16 When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see
the business
that is done upon the earth: (for also [there is that] neither
day nor night
seeth sleep with his eyes:)
EC-8:17 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot
find out the
work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to
seek [it] out,
yet he shall not find [it]; yea farther; though a wise [man]
think to know
[it], yet shall he not be able to find [it].
