Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
Who `
is '
as the wise? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? The
wisdom of
man
causeth
his face to shine, and the hardness
of his face is
changed.
Who is as 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 pray
thee ,
the commandment of
a
king
keep
, even
for
the
sake
of the oath of God.
I counsel
thee to
keep
the king's
commandment, and
that
in
regard
of the oath of God.
Be not troubled
at
his
presence,
thou
mayest
go ,
stand not in an evil thing ,
for all
that
he pleaseth he
doth
.
Be not hasty
to
go out
of
his
sight:
stand not in an evil thing ;
for he doeth
whatsoever
pleaseth him
.
Where the word of a king `
is '
power
`is'
, and who saith
to
him, `
What dost
thou? '
Where the word of a king is, there
is
power:
and who may
say
unto
him, What doest
thou?
Whoso is
keeping
a
command
knoweth
no evil thing ,
and time and judgment the
heart
of
the
wise
knoweth
.
Whoso keepeth
the
commandment
shall
feel
no evil thing :
and a
wise
man's
heart
discerneth
both
time and judgment.
For
to every delight
there is a
time and a
judgment, for
the misfortune
of man is great upon him.
Because
to every purpose
there is time and judgment, therefore
the misery
of man is great upon him.
For he knoweth not that which shall be ,
for when it shall be who
declareth
to
him
?
For he knoweth not that which shall be :
for who
can
tell
him
when it shall be?
There is no man ruling
over the spirit to restrain
the spirit ,
and
there
is
no
authority
over
the day of death ,
and there is no discharge in battle,
and
wickedness delivereth
not
its
possessors
.
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
.
All this I
have seen so
as
to
give
my heart to
every work that hath
been
done under the sun ;
a time that
man hath
ruled
over man
to his own evil
.
All this have I
seen ,
and
applied
my heart unto
every work that is
done under the sun :
there
is
a time wherein
one
man ruleth
over another
to his own hurt
.
And so I have
seen
the wicked buried, and they
went
in,
even
from the Holy
Place they
go
, and they are
forgotten in the city whether
they had so done .
This also
`
is '
vanity.
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.
Because sentence hath
not
been
done
`on'
an evil work speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of man
is full
within
them to do evil.
Because sentence against
an evil work is
not
executed
speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men
is fully
set
in
them to do evil.
Though a sinner is
doing
evil a
hundred `
times '
, and prolonging
`himself'
for
it
, surely also
I know that there
is
good
to
those
fearing
God, who
fear before Him .
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 :
And
good
is
not to
the wicked, and
he doth
not
prolong days as a shadow ,
because he is
not fearing
before God.
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.
There is a vanity that
hath
been
done upon the earth ,
that there are
righteous
ones
unto whom it is
coming
according to the work of the wicked, and
there are
wicked ones
unto
whom it is
coming
according to the work of the righteous .
I have
said that this also `
is '
vanity.
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.
And
I have
praised
mirth because there
is
no
good
to
man under the sun except
to eat and to drink, and to rejoice,
and
it
remaineth
with him of his labour the days of his life that
God hath
given
to
him under the sun.
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.
When I gave
my
heart to know wisdom and to see the business that hath
been
done on
the earth ,
(for there
is
also a
spectator
in
whose
eyes
sleep
is not
by
day and
by
night) ,
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:
)
then I considered
all the work of God, that man is
not
able
to
find out the work that hath
been
done under the sun ,
because though man labour to seek, yet he doth
not find; and
even
though the
wise man speak
of
knowing
he is
not able to find.
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
.
