Ecclesiastes 8

1 Who? [is] like the wise [person] and who? [is] knowing [the] interpretation of a matter [the] wisdom of anyone it makes shine face his and [the] strength of face his it is changed.

Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

2 I [the] mouth of a king keep and on [the] cause of [the] oath of God.

Keep the king's command, because of the oath to God.

3 May not you be hasty from before him you will go may not you stand in a matter evil for all that he will desire he will do.

Do not be hasty to go out of his presence. Do not persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,

4 In that a word of a king [is] mastery and who? will he say to him what? are you doing.

for the king's word is supreme. Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"

5 [one who] keeps A command not he will know a thing evil and an appropriate time and custom it will know a heart wise.

Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.

6 For for every matter there [is] an appropriate time and a custom for [the] trouble of humankind [is] great on him.

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

7 For not he [is] knowing what? that will it be that just as it will be who? will he tell to him.

For he doesn't know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?

8 There not [is] anyone having mastery over the wind to restrain the wind and there not [is] mastery over [the] day of death and there not [is] discharge in the battle and not it will rescue wickedness owners its.

There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

9 All this I have seen and I have given heart my to every deed which it is done under the sun a time when he domineers person over a person for evil of him.

All this have I seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.

10 And in such I have seen wicked [people] being buried and they came and from a place of holy they went and they may be forgotten in the city where right they had done also this [is] futility.

So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from the holy place. They went and were praised in the city where they did this. This also is vanity.

11 That not it is done [the] sentence of [the] deed of the evil quickly there-fore it is full [the] heart of [the] children of humankind in 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.

12 That a sinner [is] doing evil a hundred [times] and [he is] prolonging for himself for also [am] knowing I that it will belong good to [those] fearing God that they fear from to before him.

Though a sinner commits 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.

13 And good not it will belong to the wicked and not he will prolong days like shadow that not he he has feared from to before God.

But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he lengthen days like a shadow; because he doesn't fear God.

14 There [is] futility which it is done on the earth that - there [are] righteous [people] whom [it is] happening to them according to [the] deed[s] of wicked [people] and there [are] wicked [people] [to] whom [it is] happening to them according to [the] deed[s] of righteous [people] I said that also this [is] futility.

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. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

15 And I commend I gladness that not good [belongs] to humankind under the sun that except to eat and to drink and to be happy and that it will accompany him in toil his [the] days of life his which he has given to him God under the sun.

Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

16 When I gave heart my to know wisdom and to see the task which it is done on the earth for also in day and in night sleep in view his not he [is] seeing.

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),

17 And I saw all [the] work of God that not he is able humankind to find out the work which it is done under the sun in that that he toils humankind to seek and not he will find out and also if he will say the wise [person] to know not he will be able to find out.

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.
