| 8:1 | 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. |
| 8:2 | I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. |
| 8:3 | Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. |
| 8:4 | Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? |
| 8:5 | Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. |
| 8:6 | Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. |
| 8:7 | For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? |
| 8:8 | 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. |
| 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. |
| 8:10 | 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. |
| 8:11 | 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. |
| 8:12 | 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: |
| 8:12 | 罪人雖然作惡百次、倒享長久的年日．然而我準知道、敬畏 神的、就是在他面前敬畏的人、終久必得福樂。 |
| 8:12 | 罪人虽然作恶百次，倒享长久的年日。然而我准知道，敬畏神的，就是在他面前敬畏的人，终久必得福乐。 |
| isa:65:20 | There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. |
| rom:2:5 | But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; |
| psm:37:11 | But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. |
| psm:37:18 | The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. |
| pro:1:32 | For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. |
| pro:1:33 | But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. |
| isa:3:10 | Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. |
| isa:3:11 | Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. |
| mat:25:34 | Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: |
| COBL | |
| 8:13 | 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. |
| 8:14 | 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. |
| 8:15 | 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. |
| 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:) |
| 8:17 | 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. |
