  8:1 ¶
Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed. |
|
8:1 ¶
Who°
[is] as the wise°
[man]? and who°
knoweth°°
the interpretation°
of a thing?°
a man's°
wisdom°
maketh his face°
to shine,°°
and the boldness°
of his face°
shall be changed.°° |
|
8:2
I [counsel thee], Keep the king's command, and that in regard of the oath of God. |
|
8:2
I°
[counsel thee] to keep°°
the king's°
commandment,°
and [that] in regard°°
of the oath°
of God.° |
|
8:3
Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. |
|
8:3
Be not°
hasty°°
to go°
out°°
of his sight:°°
stand°°
not°
in an evil°
thing;°
for°
he doeth°°
whatsoever°°
pleaseth°°
him. |
|
8:4
For the king's word [hath] power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou? |
|
8:4
Where°
the word°
of a king°
[is, there is] power:°
and who°
may say°°
unto him, What°
doest°°
thou? |
|
8:5
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment: |
|
8:5
Whoso keepeth°°
the commandment°
shall feel°°
no°
evil°
thing:°
and a wise man's°
heart°
discerneth°°
both time°
and judgment.° |
|
8:6 ¶
for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him: |
|
8:6 ¶
Because°
to every°
purpose°
there is°
time°
and judgment,°
therefore°
the misery°
of man°
[is] great°
upon°
him. |
|
8:7
for he knoweth not that which shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be? |
|
8:7
For°
he knoweth°°
not°
that°
which shall be:°°
for°
who°
can tell°°
him when°
it shall be?° |
|
8:8
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it. |
|
8:8
[There is] no°
man°
that hath power°
over the spirit°
to retain°°°
the spirit;°
neither°
[hath he] power°
in the day°
of death:°
and [there is] no°
discharge°
in [that] war;°
neither°
shall wickedness°
deliver°°°
those that are given°
to it. |
|
8:9
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: [there is] a time wherein one man hath power over another to his hurt. |
|
8:9
All°
this°
have I seen,°°
and applied°°°
my heart°
unto every°
work°
that°
is done°°
under°
the sun:°
[there is] a time°
wherein°
one man°
ruleth°°
over°
another°
to his own hurt.° |
|
8:10
So I saw the wicked buried, and they came [to the grave]; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is vanity. |
|
8:10
And so°
I saw°°
the wicked°
buried,°°
who had come°°
and gone°°
from the place°°
of the holy,°
and they were forgotten°°
in the city°
where°
they had so°
done:°°
this°
[is] also°
vanity.° |
|
8:11
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. |
|
8:11
Because°
sentence°
against°
an evil°
work°
is not°
executed°°
speedily,°
therefore°°
the heart°
of the sons°
of men°
is fully set°°
in them to do°°
evil.° |
|
8:12 ¶
Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his [days], yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, that fear before him: |
|
8:12 ¶
Though°
a sinner°°
do°°
evil°
an hundred times,°
and his [days] be prolonged,°°
yet°
surely°
I°
know°°
that°
it shall be°
well°
with them that fear°
God,°
which°
fear°°
before°°
him: |
|
8:13
but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong [his] days, [which are] as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. |
|
8:13
But it shall not°
be°
well°
with the wicked,°
neither°
shall he prolong°°
[his] days,°
[which are] as a shadow;°
because°
he feareth°°
not°
before°°
God.° |
|
8:14
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity. |
|
8:14
There is°
a vanity°
which°
is done°°
upon°
the earth;°
that°
there be°
just°
[men], unto whom°°
it happeneth°°
according to the work°
of the wicked;°
again, there be°
wicked°
[men], to°
whom it happeneth°°°
according to the work°
of the righteous:°
I said°°
that this also°°°
[is] vanity.° |
|
8:15
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that shall abide with him in his labor [all] the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun. |
|
8:15
Then I°
commended°°°
mirth,°
because°
a man°
hath no°
better°
thing°
under°
the sun,°
than°°
to eat,°°
and to drink,°°
and to be merry:°°
for that°
shall abide°°
with him of his labour°
the days°
of his life,°
which°
God°
giveth°°
him under°
the sun.° |
|
8:16 ¶
When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes), |
|
8:16 ¶
When°
I applied°°°
mine heart°
to know°°
wisdom,°
and to see°°°
the business°
that°
is done°°
upon°
the earth:°
(for°
also°
[there is that] neither°
day°
nor night°
seeth°°
sleep°
with his eyes:)° |
|
8:17
then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. |
|
8:17
Then I beheld°°°
all°
the work°
of God,°
that°
a man°
cannot°°°
find out°°°
the work°
that°
is done°°
under°
the sun:°
because°°
though°°
a man°
labour°°
to seek [it] out,°°
yet he shall not°
find°°
[it]; yea°
further; though°
a wise°
[man] think°°
to know°°
[it], yet shall he not°
be able°°
to find°°
[it]. |
