ECC-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.
ECC-8:2 I [counsel thee] to keep the king's commandment, and
[that] in regard of the oath of God.
ECC-8:3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an
evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
ECC-8:4 Where the word of a king [is, there is] power: and who
may say unto him, What doest thou?
ECC-8:5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing:
and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
ECC-8:6 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment,
therefore the misery of man [is] great upon him.
ECC-8:7 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell
him when it shall be?
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-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:
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-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:)
ECC-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].
