CHAP. VIII.
2 To obey Princes and Magistrates. 17 The workes of God
passe mans knowledge.
1 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth
the interpretation of a thing? the wisedome
of a man doth make his note face to shine: and
the note strength of his face shalbe changed.
2 I aduertise thee to take heede to þe; note mouth
of the King, and to the worde of the othe of God.
3 noteHaste not to goe forth of his sight: stand
not in an euill thing: for he will doe whatsoeuer
pleaseth him.
4 Where the word of þe; King is, there is power,
and who shall say vnto him, What doest thou?
5 He that keepeth the commandement, shall
knowe none euill thing, and the heart of the wise
shall knowe the note time and iudgement.
6 For to euery purpose there is a time and
iudgement, because the note miserie of man is great
vpon him.
7 For he knoweth not that which shalbe: for
who can tell him when it shalbe?
8 Man is not lorde note ouer the spirit to retaine
the spirite: neither hath hee power in the day of
death, nor deliuerance in the battell, neither shall
wickednesse deliuer the possessers thereof.
9 All this haue I seene, and haue giuen mine
heart to euery worke, which is wrought vnder the
sunne, and I sawe a time that man ruleth ouer
man to his owne note hurt.
10 And likewise I sawe the wicked buried, and
note they returned, and they that came from the holy
note place, were yet forgotten in the citie where
they had done right: this also is vanitie.
11 Because sentence against an euill worke is
not note executed speedily, therefore the heart of the
children of men is fully set in them to doe euill.
12 Though a sinner doe euill an hundreth
times, and God prolongeth his dayes, yet I knowe
that it shalbe well with them that feare the Lord,
and doe reuerence before him.
13 But it shall not be well to the wicked, neither
shall he prolong his dayes: he shall be like a
shadowe, because he feareth not before God.
14 There is a vanitie, which is done vpon the
earth, that there be righteous men to whom it
commeth according to the note worke of the wicked:
and there be wicked men to whom it commeth
according to the worke of the iust: I thought also
that this is vanitie.
15 And I praysed ioy: for there is no goodnesse
to man vnder the sunne, saue note to eate and
to drinke and to reioyce: for this is adioyned to
his labour, the dayes of his life that God hath giuen
him vnder the sunne.
16 When I applied mine heart to knowe wisedome,
and to behold the busines that is done on
earth, that neither day nor night the eyes of man
take sleepe,
17 Then I behelde the whole worke of God,
that man cannot finde out þe; worke þt; is wrought
vnder the sunne: for the which man laboureth to
seeke it, and cannot finde it: yea, and though the
wise man thinke to knowe it, he cannot finde it.
