ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:2 @I pray thee , the commandment of a king keep , even for the sake of the oath of God . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:3 @Be not troubled at his presence , thou mayest go , stand not in an evil thing , for all that he pleaseth he doth . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:4 @Where the word of a king [is ] power [is ], and who saith to him , 'What dost thou ?' ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:5 @Whoso is keeping a command knoweth no evil thing , and time and judgment the heart of the wise knoweth . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:6 @For to every delight there is a time and a judgment , for the misfortune of man is great upon him . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:7 @For he knoweth not that which shall be , for when it shall be who declareth to him ? ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:8 @There is no man ruling over the spirit to restrain the spirit , and there is no authority over the day of death , and there is no discharge in battle , and wickedness delivereth not its possessors . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:9 @All this I have seen so as to give my heart to every work that hath been done under the sun ; a time that man hath ruled over man to his own evil . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:10 @And so I have seen the wicked buried , and they went in , even from the Holy Place they go , and they are forgotten in the city whether they had so done . This also [is ] vanity . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:11 @Because sentence hath not been done [on ] an evil work speedily , therefore the heart of the sons of man is full within them to do evil . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:12 @Though a sinner is doing evil a hundred [times ], and prolonging [himself ] for it , surely also I know that there is good to those fearing God , who fear before Him . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:13 @And good is not to the wicked , and he doth not prolong days as a shadow , because he is not fearing before God . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:14 @There is a vanity that hath been done upon the earth , that there are righteous ones unto whom it is coming according to the work of the wicked , and there are wicked ones unto whom it is coming according to the work of the righteous . I have said that this also [is ] vanity . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:15 @And I have praised mirth because there is no good to man under the sun except to eat and to drink , and to rejoice , and it remaineth with him of his labour the days of his life that God hath given to him under the sun . ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:16 @When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that hath been done on the earth , (for there is also a spectator in whose eyes sleep is not by day and by night ), ylt @Ecclesiastes:8:17 @then I considered all the work of God , that man is not able to find out the work that hath been done under the sun , because though man labour to seek , yet he doth not find ; and even though the wise man speak of knowing he is not able to find .
