Ecclesiastes 8

1 Who? [is] like the wise [person] and who? [is] knowing [the] interpretation of a matter [the] wisdom of anyone it makes shine face his and [the] strength of face his it is changed.

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 is changed.

2 I [the] mouth of a king keep and on [the] cause of [the] oath of God.

I counsel thee: keep the king's command, and that in regard of the oath of God.

3 May not you be hasty from before him you will go may not you stand in a matter evil for all that he will desire he will do.

Be not hasty to go out of his presence; stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

4 In that a word of a king [is] mastery and who? will he say to him what? are you doing.

Forasmuch as the king's word hath power; and who may say unto him: 'What doest thou?'

5 [one who] keeps A command not he will know a thing evil and an appropriate time and custom it will know a heart wise.

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment.

6 For for every matter there [is] an appropriate time and a custom for [the] trouble of humankind [is] great on him.

For to every matter there is a time and judgment; for the evil of man is great upon him.

7 For not he [is] knowing what? that will it be that just as it will be who? will he tell to him.

For he knoweth not that which shall be; for even when it cometh to pass, who shall declare it unto him?

8 There not [is] anyone having mastery over the wind to restrain the wind and there not [is] mastery over [the] day of death and there not [is] discharge in the battle and not it will rescue wickedness owners its.

There is no man that hath power over the wind to retain the wind; 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.

9 All this I have seen and I have given heart my to every deed which it is done under the sun a time when he domineers person over a person for evil of him.

All this have I seen, even applied my heart thereto, whatever the work that is done under the sun; what time one man had power over another to his hurt.

10 And in such I have seen wicked [people] being buried and they came and from a place of holy they went and they may be forgotten in the city where right they had done also this [is] futility.

And so I saw the wicked buried, and they entered into their rest; but they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city; this also is vanity.

11 That not it is done [the] sentence of [the] deed of the evil quickly there-fore it is full [the] heart of [the] children of humankind in them to do evil.

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;

12 That a sinner [is] doing evil a hundred [times] and [he is] prolonging for himself for also [am] knowing I that it will belong good to [those] fearing God that they fear from to before him.

because a sinner doeth evil a hundred times, and prolongeth his days — though yet I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, that fear before Him;

13 And good not it will belong to the wicked and not he will prolong days like shadow that not he he has feared from to before God.

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.

14 There [is] futility which it is done on the earth that - there [are] righteous [people] whom [it is] happening to them according to [the] deed[s] of wicked [people] and there [are] wicked [people] [to] whom [it is] happening to them according to [the] deed[s] of righteous [people] I said that also this [is] futility.

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.

15 And I commend I gladness that not good [belongs] to humankind under the sun that except to eat and to drink and to be happy and that it will accompany him in toil his [the] days of life his which he has given to him God under the sun.

So I commended mirth, that a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry, and that this should accompany him in his labour all the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun.

16 When I gave heart my to know wisdom and to see the task which it is done on the earth for also in day and in night sleep in view his not he [is] seeing.

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth — for neither day nor night do men see sleep with their eyes —

17 And I saw all [the] work of God that not he is able humankind to find out the work which it is done under the sun in that that he toils humankind to seek and not he will find out and also if he will say the wise [person] to know not he will be able to find out.

then I beheld all the work of God, that 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.
