Ecclesiastes 8:1-8

1Who is as the wiseH2450 manH120? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thingH1697? A man’sH120 wisdomH2451 maketh his faceH6440 to shineH215, and the hardness of his faceH6440 is changed. 2I counsel thee, KeepH8104 the king’sH4428 command, and that in regard of the oathH7621 of GodH430. 3Be not hasty to go out of his presenceH6440; persist not in an evilH7451 thingH1697: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. 4For the king’sH4428 wordH1697 hath power; and who may sayH559 unto him, What doest thou? 5Whoso keepeth the commandmentH4687 shall knowH3045 no evilH7451 thingH1697; and a wiseH2450 man’s heartH3820 discerneth timeH6256 and judgmentH4941: 6for to every purpose there is a timeH6256 and judgmentH4941; because the misery of manH120 is greatH7227 upon him: 7for he knoweth not that which shall beH1961; for who can tellH5046 him howH4100 it shall beH1961? 8There is no manH120 that hath power over the spiritH7307 to retain the spiritH7307; neither hath he power over the dayH3117 of deathH4194; and there is no discharge in warH4421: neither shall wickednessH7562 deliverH4422 him that is given to it.
