Chapter 8
Who
is
as
the
Wise
man?
and
who
knoweth
the
interpretation
of
a
thing?
a
mans
wisedome
maketh
his
face
to
shine,
and
the
boldnes
of
his
face
shalbe
changed.
2
I
counsell
thee,
to
keepe
the
kings
commandement,
and
that
in
regard
of
the
oath
of
God.
3
Bee
not
hastie
to
goe
out
of
his
sight:
stand
not
in
an
euill
thing,
for
he
doeth
whatsoeuer
pleaseth
him.
4
Where
the
word
of
a
king
is,
there
is
power:
and
who
may
say
vnto
him,
What
doest
thou?
5
Whoso
keepeth
the
commandement,
shall
feele
no
euill
thing:
and
a
wise
mans
heart
discerneth
both
time
and
iudgement.
6
Because
to
euery
purpose
there
is
time,
and
iudgement;
therefore
the
misery
of
man
is
great
vpon
him.
7
For
hee
knoweth
not
that
which
shall
be:
for
who
can
tell
him,
when
it
shall
be?
8
There
is
no
man
that
hath
power
ouer
the
spirit
to
retaine
the
spirit;
neither
hath
he
power
in
the
day
of
death:
and
there
is
no
discharge
in
that
warre,
neither
shall
wickednesse
deliuer
those
that
are
giuen
to
it.
9
All
this
haue
I
seene,
and
applied
my
heart
vnto
euery
worke
that
is
done
vnder
the
Sunne:
there
is
a
time
wherein
one
man
ruleth
ouer
another
to
his
owne
hurt.
10
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
vanitie.
11
Because
sentence
against
an
euill
worke
is
not
executed
speedily;
therefore
the
heart
of
the
sonnes
of
men
is
fully
set
in
them
to
doe
euill.
12
Though
a
sinner
doe
euill
an
hundred
times,
and
his
dayes
be
prolonged;
yet
surely
I
know
that
it
shall
be
well
with
them
that
feare
God,
which
feare
before
him.
13
But
it
shall
not
be
well
with
the
wicked,
neither
shall
hee
prolong
his
dayes
which
are
as
a
shadow;
because
he
feareth
not
before
God.
14
There
is
a
vanitie
which
is
done
vpon
the
earth,
that
there
be
iust
men
vnto
whom
it
happeneth
according
to
the
worke
of
the
wicked:
againe,
there
be
wicked
men,
to
whom
it
happeneth
according
to
the
worke
of
the
righteous:
I
said,
that
this
also
is
vanitie.
15
Then
I
commended
mirth,
because
a
man
hath
no
better
thing
vnder
the
Sunne,
then
to
eate
and
to
drinke,
and
to
be
merrie:
for
that
shall
abide
with
him
of
his
labour,
the
dayes
of
his
life,
which
God
giueth
him
vnder
the
Sunne.
16
When
I
applied
mine
heart
to
know
wisedome,
and
to
see
the
busines
that
is
done
vpon
the
earth:
(for
also
there
is
that
neither
day
nor
night
seeth
sleepe
with
his
eyes.)
17
Then
I
behelde
all
the
worke
of
God,
that
a
man
cannot
finde
out
the
worke
that
is
done
vnder
the
Sunne:
because
though
a
man
labour
to
seeke
it
out,
yea
further
though
a
wise
man
thinke
to
know
it,
yet
shall
hee
not
be
able
to
finde
it.
