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 shall
be
changed.

I counsel
thee
to

the word of
a
king
is ,
there
is
power:
and
who may
say unto
him, What doest
thou
?

the king's
word is supreme.
Who can
say to
him, "
What are
you
doing
? "
Whoso
keepeth
the commandment shall feel
no
evil
thing:
and a
wise man's
heart discerneth
both
time and judgment
.
Whoever
keeps
the commandment shall not
come
to
harm,
and his
wise heart will
know
the
time and procedure
.
Because
to
every
purpose
there is time and judgment
, therefore
the misery of man is great
upon
him.

time and procedure
for
every
purpose
, although
the misery of man is heavy
on
him.

not
that which shall
be :
for who can tell him when

There is no man that
hath
power over the spirit to retain
the spirit; neither hath
he power in
the day of death :
and
there is no discharge in that
war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that
are
given
to
it.

he have
power over
the day of death .

practice
it.

unto
every work that is done under the sun :
there is a time wherein
one man ruleth
over another to his own
hurt.

to
every work that is done under the sun .
There is a time in
which
one man has

And
so I saw the wicked buried ,
who
had
come
and
gone
from the
place
of
the
holy,
and
they were forgotten in the city where they had
so
done:
this is
also vanity.

Indeed
they
came
also
from holiness.

this .

Though a sinner do
evil
an
hundred times, and his
days
be
prolonged
, yet surely I know that it shall
be well
with them
that
fear God, which
fear
before him :

crimes
a
hundred times, and lives
long
, yet surely I know that it will
be better
with those
who
fear God, who
are
reverent
before him .
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.

days like
a shadow; because he doesn't
fear
God.
There is a vanity which is done upon
the earth ;
that there be
just
men ,
unto
whom it happeneth
according to the work of the wicked ;
again, there be
wicked men ,
to whom it happeneth
according to the work of the righteous :
I said that this also is vanity.
There is a vanity which is done on
the earth ,
that there are
righteous
men to
whom it happens
according to the work of the wicked .

wicked men to whom it happens

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath
no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry
: for that shall
abide
with
him of
his labour
the days of his life ,
which God giveth
him under the sun.

him under the sun.
When I applied mine
heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon
the earth :
(for also there is that neither day nor night seeth
sleep with his eyes :
)
When I applied my
heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on
the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night sees
sleep with his eyes) ,
Then I beheld
all the work of God, that a
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
farther;
though a wise man think
to
know
it, yet
shall
he not
be able to find it.
then I saw
all the work of God, that man can't
find out the work that is done under the sun ,
because however
much
a man labors
to seek it out, yet he won't
find it .
Yes
even
though a wise man thinks
he
can
comprehend
it, he won't
be able to find it.
