Ecclesiastes 8:1-8

1Who is as the wiseH2450 man ? and who knowethH3045 the interpretationH6592 of a thingH1697? a man’sH120 wisdomH2451 maketh his faceH6440 to shineH215, and the boldnessH5797 of his faceH6440 shall be changedH8132.1 2I counsel thee to keepH8104 the king’sH4428 commandmentH6310, and that in regardH1700 of the oathH7621 of GodH430. 3Be not hastyH926 to go outH3212 of his sightH6440: standH5975 not in an evilH7451 thingH1697; for he doethH6213 whatever pleasethH2654 him. 4Where the wordH1697 of a kingH4428 is, there is powerH7983: and who may sayH559 to him, What doestH6213 thou? 5He who keepethH8104 the commandmentH4687 shall feelH3045 no evilH7451 thingH1697: and a wise man’sH2450 heartH3820 discernethH3045 both timeH6256 and judgmentH4941.2

6Because to every purposeH2656 there isH3426 timeH6256 and judgmentH4941, therefore the miseryH7451 of manH120 is greatH7227 upon him. 7For he knowethH3045 not that which shall be: for who can tellH5046 him when it shall be?3 8There is no manH120 that hath powerH7989 over the spiritH7307 to retainH3607 the spiritH7307; neither hath he powerH7983 in the dayH3117 of deathH4194: and there is no dischargeH4917 in that warH4421; neither shall wickednessH7562 deliverH4422 those that are givenH1167 to it.4
