| 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 of his face6440 shall be changed.8132 | |
| 8:2 | I counsel thee to keep8104 the king's4428 commandment,6310 and that in regard1700 of the oath7621 of Elohim.430 | |
| 8:3 | Be not hasty926 to go3212 out of his sight:6440 stand5975 not in an evil7451 thing;1697 for he doeth6213 whatsoever pleaseth2654 him. | |
| 8:4 | Where the word1697 of a king4428 is, there is power:7983 and who may say559 unto him, What doest6213 thou? | |
| 8:5 | Whoso keepeth8104 the commandment4687 shall feel3045 no evil7451 thing:1697 and a wise man's2450 heart3820 discerneth3045 both time6256 and judgment.4941 | |
| 8:6 | Because to every purpose2656 there is3426 time6256 and judgment,4941 therefore the misery7451 of man120 is great7227 upon him. | |
| 8:7 | For he knoweth3045 not that which shall be: for who can tell5046 him when it shall be? | |
| 8:8 | 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 in that war;4421 neither shall wickedness7562 deliver4422 those that are given1167 to it. | |
| 8:9 | 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 another120 to his own hurt.7451 | |
| 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 | |
| 8:11 | 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 | |
| 8:12 | Though a sinner2398 do6213 evil7451 an hundred3967 times, and his days be prolonged,748 yet surely I know3045 that it shall be well2896 with them that fear3373 Elohim,430 which fear3372 before6440 him: | |
| 8:13 | 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 Elohim.430 | |
| 8:14 | There is3426 a vanity1892 which is done6213 upon the earth;776 that there be3426 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 | |
| 8:15 | Then I commended7623 mirth,8057 because a man120 hath no better2896 thing 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 Elohim430 giveth5414 him under the sun.8121 | |
| 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 | |
| 8:17 | Then I beheld7200 all the work4639 of Elohim,430 that a man120 cannot3808 find out4672 the work4639 that is done6213 under the sun:8121 because though834 a man120 labour5998 to seek1245 it out, yet he shall not3808 find4672 it; yea further; though a wise2450 man think559 to know3045 it, yet shall he not3808 be able3201 to find4672 it. |
