Ecclesiastes 8 Who is as the wise man? and who knows the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom makes his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H2450 Who is as the wise H3045 man? and who knows H6592 the interpretation H1697 of a thing? H120 a man's H2451 wisdom H6440 makes his face H215 to shine, H5797 and the boldness H6440 of his face H8132 shall be changed.

2 H8104 I counsel you to keep H4428 the king's H6310 commandment, H1700 and that in regard H7621 of the oath H430 of God.

3 H926 Be not hasty H3212 to go out H6440 of his sight: H5975 stand H7451 not in a evil H1697 thing; H6213 for he does H2654 whatever pleases him.

4 H1697 Where the word H4428 of a king H7983 is, there is power: H559 and who may say H6213 unto him, What do you?

5 H8104 Whoever keeps H4687 the commandment H3045 shall feel H7451 no evil H1697 thing: H2450 and a wise man's H3820 heart H3045 discerns H6256 both time H4941 and judgment.

6 H2656 Because to every purpose H3426 there is H6256 time H4941 and judgment, H7451 therefore the misery H120 of man H7227 is great upon him.

7 H3045 For he knows H5046 not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?

8 H120 There is no man H7989 that has power H7307 over the spirit H3607 to retain H7307 the spirit; H7983 neither has he power H3117 in the day H4194 of death: H4917 and there is no discharge H4421 in that war; H7562 neither shall wickedness H4422 deliver H1167 those that are given to it.

9 H7200 All this have I seen, H5414 and applied H3820 my heart H4639 unto every work H6213 that is done H8121 under the sun: H6256 there is a time H120 where one man H7980 rules H7451 over another to his own hurt.

10 H3651 And so H7200 I saw H7563 the wicked H6912 buried, H935 who had come H1980 and gone H4725 from the place H6918 of the holy, H7911 and they were forgotten H5892 in the city H6213 where they had so done: H1892 this is also vanity.

11 H6599 Because sentence H7451 against a evil H4639 work H6213 is not executed H4120 speedily, H3820 therefore the heart H1121 of the sons H120 of men H4390 is fully set H6213 in them to do H7451 evil.

12 H2398 Though a sinner H6213 do H7451 evil H3967 a hundred times, H748 and his days be prolonged, H3045 yet surely I know H2896 that it shall be well H3373 with them that fear H430 God, H3372 which fear H6440 before him:

13 H2896 But it shall not be well H7563 with the wicked, H748 neither shall he prolong H3117 his days, H6738 which are as a shadow; H3373 because he fears H6440 not before H430 God.

14 H3426 There is H1892 a vanity H6213 which is done H776 upon the earth; H6662 that there be just H5060 men, unto whom it happens H4639 according to the work H7563 of the wicked; H3426 again, there be H7563 wicked H5060 men, to whom it happens H4639 according to the work H6662 of the righteous: H559 I said H1571 that this also H1892 is vanity.

15 H7623 Then I commended H8057 mirth, H120 because a man H2896 has no better thing H8121 under the sun, H398 than to eat, H8354 and to drink, H8055 and to be merry: H3867 for that shall stay H5999 with him of his labor H3117 the days H2416 of his life, H430 which God H5414 gives H8121 him under the sun.

16 H5414 When I applied H3820 my heart H3045 to know H2451 wisdom, H7200 and to see H6045 the business H6213 that is done H776 upon the earth: H3117 (for also there is that neither day H3915 nor night H7200 sees H8142 sleep H5869 with his eyes:)

17 H7200 Then I looked H4639 all the work H430 of God, H120 that a man H3201 cannot H4672 find out H4639 the work H6213 that is done H8121 under the sun: H834 because H7945 though H120 a man H5998 labor H1245 to seek it out, H4672 yet he shall not find H2450 it; Yes further; though a wise H559 man think H3045 to know H3201 it, yet shall he not be able H4672 to find it.
