nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:2 @It is the same for all . There is one fate for the righteous and for the wicked ; for the good , for the clean and for the unclean ; for the man who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice . As the good man is , so is the sinner ; as the swearer is , so is the one who is afraid to swear . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:3 @This is an evil in all that is done under the sun , that there is one fate for all men . Furthermore , the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil and insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives . Afterwards they go to the dead . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:4 @For whoever is joined with all the living , there is hope ; surely a live dog is better than a dead lion . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:5 @For the living know they will die ; but the dead do not know anything , nor have they any longer a reward , for their memory is forgotten . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:6 @Indeed their love , their hate and their zeal have already perished , and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:7 @Go then , eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart ; for God has already approved your works . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:8 @Let your clothes be white all the time , and let not oil be lacking on your head . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:9 @Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun ; for this is your reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:10 @Whatever your hand finds to do , do it with all your might ; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:11 @I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors , and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability ; for time and chance overtake them all . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:12 @Moreover , man does not know his time - like fish caught in a treacherous net and birds trapped in a snare , so the sons of men are ensnared at an evil time when it suddenly falls on them . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:13 @Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun , and it impressed me . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:14 @There was a small city with few men in it and a great king came to it , surrounded it and constructed large siegeworks against it . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:15 @But there was found in it a poor wise man and he delivered the city by his wisdom . Yet no one remembered that poor man . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:16 @So I said , " Wisdom is better than strength ." But the wisdom of the poor man is despised and his words are not heeded . nasb @Ecclesiastes:8:17 @The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools .
