strkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:1
@ Who is as the
wise
man? and who
knoweth
the
interpretation
of a
thing
? a
mans
wisdom
maketh his
face
to
shine
, and the
boldness
of his
face
shall be
changed
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:2
@ I counsel thee to
keep
the
kings
commandment
, and that in
regard
of the
oath
of
God
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:3
@ Be not
hasty
to go
out
of his
sight
:
stand
not in an
evil
thing
; for he
doeth
whatsoever
pleaseth
him.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:4
@ Where the
word
of a
king
is, there is
power
: and who may
say
unto him, What
doest
thou?
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:5
@ Whoso
keepeth
the
commandment
shall
feel
no
evil
thing
: and a wise
mans
heart
discerneth
both
time
and
judgment
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:6
@ Because to every
purpose
there
is
time
and
judgment
, therefore the
misery
of
man
is
great
upon him.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:7
@ For he
knoweth
not that which shall be: for who can
tell
him when it shall be?
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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:
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
: )
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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 further; though a
wise
man
think
to
know
it, yet shall he not be
able
to
find
it.
