Ecclesiastes 8:1-9

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.
For he knoweth
<03045> (8802)
not that which shall be: for who can tell
<05046> (8686)
him when it shall be? {when...: or, how it shall be?}
[There is] no man
<0120>
that hath power
<07989>
over the spirit
<07307>
to retain
<03607> (8800)
the spirit
<07307>_;
neither [hath he] power
<07983>
in the day
<03117>
of death
<04194>_:
and [there is] no discharge
<04917>
in [that] war
<04421>_;
neither shall wickedness
<07562>
deliver
<04422> (8762)
those that are given
<01167>
to it. {discharge: or, casting off weapons}
All this have I seen
<07200> (8804)_,
and applied
<05414> (8800)
my heart
<03820>
unto every work
<04639>
that is done
<06213> (8738)
under the sun
<08121>_:
[there is] a time
<06256>
wherein one man
<0120>
ruleth
<07980> (8804)
over another to his own hurt
<07451>_.
