KJV Bible (with Strong's and TVM)

Ecclesiastes 8

1

Who is as the wiseh2450 man ? and who knowethh3045h8802 the interpretationh6592 of a thingh1697? a man'sh120 wisdomh2451 maketh his faceh6440 to shineh215h8686, and the boldnessh5797 of his faceh6440 shall be changedh8132h8792. the boldness: Heb. the strength

2

I counsel thee to keeph8104h8798 the king'sh4428 commandmenth6310, and that in regardh1700 of the oathh7621 of Godh430.

3

Be not hastyh926h8735 to go outh3212h8799 of his sighth6440: standh5975h8799 not in an evilh7451 thingh1697; for he doethh6213h8799 whatsoever pleasethh2654h8799 him.

4

Where the wordh1697 of a kingh4428 is, there is powerh7983: and who may sayh559h8799 unto him, What doesth6213h8799 thou?

5

Whoso keepethh8104h8802 the commandmenth4687 shall feelh3045h8799 no evilh7451 thingh1697: and a wise man'sh2450 hearth3820 discernethh3045h8799 both timeh6256 and judgmenth4941. shall...: Heb. shall know

6

Because to every purposeh2656 there ish3426 timeh6256 and judgmenth4941, therefore the miseryh7451 of manh120 is greath7227 upon him.

7

For he knowethh3045h8802 not that which shall be: for who can tellh5046h8686 him when it shall be? when...: or, how it shall be?

8

There is no manh120 that hath powerh7989 over the spirith7307 to retainh3607h8800 the spirith7307; neither hath he powerh7983 in the dayh3117 of deathh4194: and there is no dischargeh4917 in that warh4421; neither shall wickednessh7562 deliverh4422h8762 those that are givenh1167 to it. discharge: or, casting off weapons

9

All this have I seenh7200h8804, and appliedh5414h8800 my hearth3820 unto every workh4639 that is doneh6213h8738 under the sunh8121: there is a timeh6256 wherein one manh120 rulethh7980h8804 over another to his own hurth7451.

10

And soh3651 I sawh7200h8804 the wickedh7563 buriedh6912h8803, who had comeh935h8804 and goneh1980h8762 from the placeh4725 of the holyh6918, and they were forgottenh7911h8691 in the cityh5892 where they had so doneh6213h8804: this is also vanityh1892.

11

Because sentenceh6599 against an evilh7451 workh4639 is not executedh6213h8738 speedilyh4120, therefore the hearth3820 of the sonsh1121 of menh120 is fully seth4390h8804 in them to doh6213h8800 evilh7451.

12

Though a sinnerh2398h8802 doh6213h8802 evilh7451 an hundred timesh3967, and his days be prolongedh748h8688, yet surely I knowh3045h8802 that it shall be wellh2896 with them that fearh3373 Godh430, which fearh3372h8799 beforeh6440 him:

13

But it shall not be wellh2896 with the wickedh7563, neither shall he prolongh748h8686 his daysh3117, which are as a shadowh6738; because he fearethh3373 not beforeh6440 Godh430.

14

There ish3426 a vanityh1892 which is doneh6213h8738 upon the earthh776; that there be justh6662 men , unto whom it happenethh5060h8688 according to the workh4639 of the wickedh7563; again, there beh3426 wickedh7563 men , to whom it happenethh5060h8688 according to the workh4639 of the righteoush6662: I saidh559h8804 that this alsoh1571 is vanityh1892.

15

Then I commendedh7623h8765 mirthh8057, because a manh120 hath no better thingh2896 under the sunh8121, than to eath398h8800, and to drinkh8354h8800, and to be merryh8055h8800: for that shall abideh3867h8799 with him of his labourh5999 the daysh3117 of his lifeh2416, which Godh430 givethh5414h8804 him under the sunh8121.

16

When I appliedh5414h8804 mine hearth3820 to knowh3045h8800 wisdomh2451, and to seeh7200h8800 the businessh6045 that is doneh6213h8738 upon the earthh776: (for also there is that neither dayh3117 nor nighth3915 seethh7200h8802 sleeph8142 with his eyesh5869:)

17

Then I beheldh7200h8804 all the workh4639 of Godh430, that a manh120 cannoth3201h8799 find outh4672h8800 the workh4639 that is doneh6213h8738 under the sunh8121: becauseh834 thoughh7945 a manh120 labourh5998h8799 to seek it outh1245h8763, yet he shall not findh4672h8799 it ; yea further; though a wiseh2450 man thinkh559h8799 to knowh3045h8800 it , yet shall he not be ableh3201h8799 to findh4672h8800 it .
