Ecclesiastes 8:1-6

Who [is] as the wise
<02450>

[man]? and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

the interpretation
<06592>

of a thing
<01697>_?

a man's
<0120>

wisdom
<02451>

maketh his face
<06440>

to shine
<0215> (8686)_,

and the boldness
<05797>

of his face
<06440>

shall be changed
<08132> (8792)_.

{the boldness: Heb. the strength}

I [counsel thee] to keep
<08104> (8798)

the king's
<04428>

commandment
<06310>_,

and [that] in regard
<01700>

of the oath
<07621>

of God
<0430>_.

Be not hasty
<0926> (8735)

to go out
<03212> (8799)

of his sight
<06440>_:

stand
<05975> (8799)

not in an evil
<07451>

thing
<01697>_;

for he doeth
<06213> (8799)

whatsoever pleaseth
<02654> (8799)

him.

Where the word
<01697>

of a king
<04428>

[is, there is] power
<07983>_:

and who may say
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What doest
<06213> (8799)

thou?

Whoso keepeth
<08104> (8802)

the commandment
<04687>

shall feel
<03045> (8799)

no evil
<07451>

thing
<01697>_:

and a wise man's
<02450>

heart
<03820>

discerneth
<03045> (8799)

both time
<06256>

and judgment
<04941>_.

{shall...: Heb. shall know}

Because to every purpose
<02656>

there is
<03426>

time
<06256>

and judgment
<04941>_,

therefore the misery
<07451>

of man
<0120>

[is] great
<07227>

upon him.
