|Eclesiastes 8:1| Who compares with the sage? Who else knows how to explain things? Wisdom lights up the face, enlivening a grim expression.
-
|Eclesiastes 8:2| Obey the king's command and, because of the divine promise,
-
|Eclesiastes 8:3| be in no hurry to depart from it; do not be obstinate in a bad cause, since the king will do as he likes in any case.
-
|Eclesiastes 8:4| Since the word of a king is sovereign, what is the point of saying, 'Why do that?'
-
|Eclesiastes 8:5| One who obeys the command will come to no harm; the heart of the sage knows the right moment and verdict,
-
|Eclesiastes 8:6| for there is a right moment and verdict for everything; but misfortune lies heavy upon anyone
-
|Eclesiastes 8:7| who does not know what the outcome will be, no one is going to say how things will turn out.
-
|Eclesiastes 8:8| No one can control the wind and stop it from blowing, no one can control the day of death. From war there is no escape, no more can wickedness save the person who commits it.
-
|Eclesiastes 8:9| I have seen all this to be so, having carefully studied everything taking place under the sun, while one person tyrannises over another to the former's detriment.
-
|Eclesiastes 8:10| And again, I have observed the wicked carried to their graves, and people leaving the holy place and, once out in the city, forgetting how the wicked used to behave; how futile this is too!
