Ecclesiastes Chapter 8 - King James Version

1

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.DEU:28:50
EXO:34:29-30

2

I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.2SM:21:7
EZE:17:18
EXO:22:11
ROM:13:1

3

Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.ECC:10:4

4

Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?DAN:4:32
JOB:9:12
DAN:4:35

5

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.ECC:12:13

6

Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.ECC:3:1

7

For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?ECC:10:14

8

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.PS:49:7-9
DEU:20:5-8

9

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.ECC:3:16

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 vanity.PRO:10:7

11

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.ECC:9:3
ROM:2:4
JOB:35:15
EXO:34:6
PS:86:15
2PE:3:9

12

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:DEU:12:28
PS:37:11
ISA:3:10
PS:128:2
PS:115:11
DEU:4:40
DEU:12:25
PRO:1:33

13

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.ECC:6:12

14

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.ECC:7:15
JOB:21:7
JER:12:1
MAL:3:15

15

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.ECC:2:1
ECC:2:24
PS:42:8

16

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:)

17

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.ECC:3:11
ECC:1:13
PS:73:16
