Ecclesiastes 8:1-8

Wisdom and Submission to Authority

Ecclesiastes 8:1-8
1
Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? the wisedome of a man doth make his face to shine: and the strength of his face shalbe changed.
2
I aduertise thee to take heede to ye mouth of the King, and to the worde of the othe of God.
3
Haste 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 ye 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 time and iudgement.
6
For to euery purpose there is a time and iudgement, because the 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 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.
