Ecclesiastes 8:1-4

1Who is as the wiseH2450 manH120? and who knoweth the interpretationH6592 of a thingH1697? A man’sH120 wisdomH2451 maketh his faceH6440 to shineH215, and the hardness of his faceH6440 is changedH8132.

2I counselH6310 thee, KeepH8104 the king’sH4428 commandH6310, and that in regardH8104 of the oathH7621 of GodH430.

3Be notH408 hasty to go outH6440 of his presenceH6440; persistH5975 notH408 in an evilH7451 thingH1697: for he doeth whatsoeverH3605 pleaseth him.

4BecauseH834 the king’sH4428 wordH1697 hath power; and who may sayH559 unto him, WhatH4100 doest thou?
