WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.640 Chapter Eight Who is as the wise man, and who knoweth the interpretation of a 00:05.640 --> 00:05.860 thing? 00:06.300 --> 00:10.040 A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the baldness of his face shall be 00:10.040 --> 00:10.480 changed. 00:11.320 --> 00:14.380 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the 00:14.380 --> 00:17.140 oath of God, be not hasty to go out of his sight. 00:17.740 --> 00:21.320 Stand not in an evil thing, for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. 00:22.140 --> 00:24.600 Where the word of a king is, there is power. 00:24.600 --> 00:27.480 And who may say unto him, What doest thou? 00:28.100 --> 00:31.060 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing. 00:31.780 --> 00:34.960 And a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. 00:35.700 --> 00:38.040 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment. 00:38.700 --> 00:42.800 Therefore the misery of man is great upon him, for he knoweth not that which shall 00:42.800 --> 00:44.800 be, for who can tell him when it shall be? 00:45.200 --> 00:48.960 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit, neither hath 00:48.960 --> 00:50.180 he power in the day of death. 00:50.620 --> 00:54.640 And there is no discharge in that war, neither shall wickedness deliver those 00:54.640 --> 00:55.420 that are given to it. 00:56.280 --> 01:00.860 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the 01:00.860 --> 01:01.060 sun. 01:01.600 --> 01:04.680 There is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. 01:05.240 --> 01:08.460 And so I saw the wicked buried who had come and gone from the place of the holy, 01:08.980 --> 01:11.520 and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. 01:11.900 --> 01:16.540 This is also vanity, because sentence against an evil work is not executed 01:16.540 --> 01:17.080 speedily. 01:17.080 --> 01:21.400 Therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 01:22.020 --> 01:26.560 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I 01:26.560 --> 01:30.340 know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him, 01:30.820 --> 01:32.440 but it shall not be well with the wicked. 01:33.200 --> 01:37.120 Neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he feareth 01:37.120 --> 01:38.060 not before God. 01:38.760 --> 01:42.540 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there be just men, 01:43.040 --> 01:45.500 unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked. 01:46.340 --> 01:50.180 Again there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the 01:50.180 --> 01:50.480 righteous. 01:51.500 --> 01:53.420 I said that this also is vanity. 01:54.160 --> 01:57.700 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun than to eat 01:57.700 --> 01:58.840 and to drink and to be merry. 01:59.760 --> 02:03.760 For that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God 02:03.760 --> 02:05.140 giveth him under the sun. 02:06.000 --> 02:09.160 When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon 02:09.160 --> 02:13.360 the earth, for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes, 02:13.360 --> 02:17.420 then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that 02:17.420 --> 02:18.480 is done under the sun. 02:18.960 --> 02:22.240 Because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it. 02:22.760 --> 02:27.580 Yea, further, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
