Ecclesiastes 8:12-17

Though a sinner
<02398> (8802)
do
<06213> (8802)
evil
<07451>
an hundred times
<03967>_,
and his [days] be prolonged
<0748> (8688)_,
yet surely I know
<03045> (8802)
that it shall be well
<02896>
with them that fear
<03373>
God
<0430>_,
which fear
<03372> (8799)
before
<06440>
him:
But it shall not be well
<02896>
with the wicked
<07563>_,
neither shall he prolong
<0748> (8686)
[his] days
<03117>_,
[which are] as a shadow
<06738>_;
because he feareth
<03373>
not before
<06440>
God
<0430>_.
There is
<03426>
a vanity
<01892>
which is done
<06213> (8738)
upon the earth
<0776>_;
that there be just
<06662>
[men], unto whom it happeneth
<05060> (8688)
according to the work
<04639>
of the wicked
<07563>_;
again, there be
<03426>
wicked
<07563>
[men], to whom it happeneth
<05060> (8688)
according to the work
<04639>
of the righteous
<06662>_:
I said
<0559> (8804)
that this also
<01571>
[is] vanity
<01892>_.
Then I commended
<07623> (8765)
mirth
<08057>_,
because a man
<0120>
hath no better thing
<02896>
under the sun
<08121>_,
than to eat
<0398> (8800)_,
and to drink
<08354> (8800)_,
and to be merry
<08055> (8800)_:
for that shall abide
<03867> (8799)
with him of his labour
<05999>
the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_,
which God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8804)
him under the sun
<08121>_.
When I applied
<05414> (8804)
mine heart
<03820>
to know
<03045> (8800)
wisdom
<02451>_,
and to see
<07200> (8800)
the business
<06045>
that is done
<06213> (8738)
upon the earth
<0776>_:
(for also [there is that] neither day
<03117>
nor night
<03915>
seeth
<07200> (8802)
sleep
<08142>
with his eyes
<05869>:)
Then I beheld
<07200> (8804)
all the work
<04639>
of God
<0430>_,
that a man
<0120>
cannot
<03201> (8799)
find out
<04672> (8800)
the work
<04639>
that is done
<06213> (8738)
under the sun
<08121>_:
because
<0834>
though
<07945>
a man
<0120>
labour
<05998> (8799)
to seek [it] out
<01245> (8763)_,
yet he shall not find
<04672> (8799)
[it]; yea further; though a wise
<02450>
[man] think
<0559> (8799)
to know
<03045> (8800)
[it], yet shall he not be able
<03201> (8799)
to find
<04672> (8800)
[it].
