Ecclesiastes

Chapter 8

1 Who4310 is as the wise2450 man? and who4310 knoweth3045 the interpretation6592 of a thing?1697 a man's120 wisdom2451 maketh his face6440 to shine,215 and the boldness5797 of his face6440 shall be changed.8132

2 I589 counsel thee to keep8104 the king's4428 commandment,6310 and that in regard5921 1700 of the oath7621 of God.430

3 Be not408 hasty926 to go1980 out of his sight:4480 6440 stand5975 not408 in an evil7451 thing;1697 for3588 he doeth6213 whatsoever3605 834 pleaseth2654 him.

4 Where834 the word1697 of a king4428 is, there is power:7983 and who4310 may say559 unto him, What4100 doest6213 thou?

5 Whoso keepeth8104 the commandment4687 shall feel3045 no3808 evil7451 thing:1697 and a wise man's2450 heart3820 discerneth3045 both time6256 and judgment.4941

6 Because3588 to every3605 purpose2656 there is3426 time6256 and judgment,4941 therefore3588 the misery7451 of man120 is great7227 upon5921 him.

7 For3588 he knoweth3045 not369 that4100 which shall be:7945 1961 for3588 who4310 can tell5046 him when834 it shall be?1961

8 There is no369 man120 that hath power7989 over the spirit7307 to retain3607 853 the spirit;7307 neither369 hath he power7983 in the day3117 of death:4194 and there is no369 discharge4917 in that war;4421 neither3808 shall wickedness7562 deliver4422 853 those that are given1167 to it.

9 All3605 this2088 have I seen,7200 and applied5414 853 my heart3820 unto every3605 work4639 that834 is done6213 under8478 the sun:8121 there is a time6256 wherein834 one man120 ruleth over7980 another120 to his own hurt.7451

10 And so3651 I saw7200 the wicked7563 buried,6912 who had come935 and gone1980 from the place4480 4725 of the holy,6918 and they were forgotten7911 in the city5892 where834 they had so3651 done:6213 this2088 is also1571 vanity.1892

11 Because834 sentence against6599 an evil7451 work4639 is not369 executed6213 speedily,4120 therefore5921 3651 the heart3820 of the sons1121 of men120 is fully set4390 in them to do6213 evil.7451

12 Though834 a sinner2398 do6213 evil7451 a hundred times,3967 and his days be prolonged,748 yet3588 surely1571 I589 know3045 that834 it shall be1961 well2896 with them that fear3373 God,430 which834 fear3372 before4480 6440 him:

13 But it shall not3808 be1961 well2896 with the wicked,7563 neither3808 shall he prolong748 his days,3117 which are as a shadow;6738 because834 he feareth3372 not369 before4480 6440 God.430

14 There is3426 a vanity1892 which834 is done6213 upon5921 the earth;776 that834 there be3426 just6662 men, unto whom834 413 it happeneth5060 according to the work4639 of the wicked;7563 again, there be3426 wicked7563 men, to413 whom it happeneth7945 5060 according to the work4639 of the righteous:6662 I said559 that this also2088 7945 1571 is vanity.1892

15 Then I589 commended7623 853 mirth,8057 because834 a man120 hath no369 better2896 thing under8478 the sun,8121 than3588 518 to eat,398 and to drink,8354 and to be merry:8055 for that1931 shall abide3867 with him of his labor5999 the days3117 of his life,2416 which834 God430 giveth5414 him under8478 the sun.8121

16 When834 I applied5414 853 mine heart3820 to know3045 wisdom,2451 and to see7200 853 the business6045 that834 is done6213 upon5921 the earth:776 (for3588 also1571 there is that neither369 day3117 nor night3915 seeth7200 sleep8142 with his eyes: )5869

17 Then I beheld7200 853 all3605 the work4639 of God,430 that3588 a man120 cannot3808 3201 find out4672 853 the work4639 that834 is done6213 under8478 the sun:8121 because7945 though834 a man120 labor5998 to seek it out,1245 yet he shall not3808 find4672 it; yea1571 further; though518 a wise2450 man think559 to know3045 it, yet shall he not3808 be able3201 to find4672 it.

3 Be not hasty926 to go3212 out of his sight:6440 stand5975 not in an evil7451 thing;1697 for he does6213 whatever3605 834 pleases2654 him.

4 Where834 the word1697 of a king4428 is, there is power:7983 and who4310 may say559 to him, What4100 do6213 you?

5 Whoever keeps8104 the commandment4687 shall feel3045 no3808 evil7451 thing:1697 and a wise2450 man's heart3820 discerns3045 both time6256 and judgment.4941

6 Because3588 to every3605 purpose2656 there is time6256 and judgment,4941 therefore the misery7451 of man120 is great7227 on him.

7 For he knows3045 not that which4100 shall be: for who can tell5046 him when3588 834 it shall be?

8 There is no369 man120 that has power7989 over the spirit7307 to retain3607 the spirit;7307 neither369 has he power7983 in the day3117 of death:4194 and there is no369 discharge4917 in that war;4421 neither3808 shall wickedness7562 deliver4422 those that are given1167 to it.

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 where834 they had so3651 done:6213 this2088 is also1571 vanity.1892

11 Because834 sentence6599 against an evil7451 work4639 is not executed6213 speedily,4120 therefore5921 3651 the heart3820 of the sons1121 of men120 is fully4390 set in them to do6213 evil.7451

12 Though a sinner2398 do6213 evil7451 an hundred3967 times, and his days be prolonged,748 yet3588 surely3588 I know3045 that it shall be well2896 with them that fear3373 God,430 which834 fear3372 before6440 him:

13 But it shall not be well2896 with the wicked,7563 neither3808 shall he prolong748 his days,3117 which are as a shadow;6738 because834 he fears3373 not before6440 God.430

14 There is a vanity1892 which834 is done6213 on the earth;776 that there be just6662 men, to whom413 it happens5060 according to the work4639 of the wicked;7563 again, there be wicked7563 men, to whom413 it happens5060 according to the work4639 of the righteous:6662 I said559 that this2088 also1571 is vanity.1892

15 Then I commended7623 mirth,8057 because834 a man120 has no369 better2896 thing under8478 the sun,8121 than3588 518 to eat,398 and to drink,8354 and to be merry:8055 for that shall abide3867 with him of his labor5999 the days3117 of his life,2416 which834 God430 gives5414 him under8478 the sun.8121

16 When834 I applied5414 my heart3820 to know3045 wisdom,2451 and to see7200 the business6045 that is done6213 on the earth:776 (for also1571 there is that neither1571 369 day3117 nor night3915 sees7200 sleep8142 with his eyes:5869)

17 Then I beheld7200 all3605 the work4639 of God,430 that a man120 cannot3808 3201 find4672 out the work4639 that is done6213 under8478 the sun:8121 because834 though834 a man120 labor5998 to seek1245 it out, yet he shall not find4672 it; yes1571 farther; though518 a wise2450 man think559 to know3045 it, yet shall he not be able3201 to find4672 it.
