Who is as the wiseH2450 man? and who knowethH3045 the interpretationH6592 of a thingH1697? a man'sH120 wisdomH2451 maketh his faceH6440 to shineH215, and the boldnessH5797 of his faceH6440 shall be changedH8132. {the boldness: Heb. the strength}
I counsel thee to keepH8104 the king'sH4428 commandmentH6310, and that in regardH1700 of the oathH7621 of GodH430.
Be not hastyH926 to go outH3212 of his sightH6440: standH5975 not in an evilH7451 thingH1697; for he doethH6213 whatsoever pleasethH2654 him.
Where the wordH1697 of a kingH4428 is, there is powerH7983: and who may sayH559 unto him, What doestH6213 thou?
Whoso keepethH8104 the commandmentH4687 shall feelH3045 no evilH7451 thingH1697: and a wise man'sH2450 heartH3820 discernethH3045 both timeH6256 and judgmentH4941. {shall…: Heb. shall know}
Because to every purposeH2656 there isH3426 timeH6256 and judgmentH4941, therefore the miseryH7451 of manH120 is greatH7227 upon him.
For he knowethH3045 not that which shall be: for who can tellH5046 him when it shall be? {when…: or, how it shall be?}
There is no manH120 that hath powerH7989 over the spiritH7307 to retainH3607 the spiritH7307; neither hath he powerH7983 in the dayH3117 of deathH4194: and there is no dischargeH4917 in that warH4421; neither shall wickednessH7562 deliverH4422 those that are givenH1167 to it. {discharge: or, casting off weapons}
All this have I seenH7200, and appliedH5414 my heartH3820 unto every workH4639 that is doneH6213 under the sunH8121: there is a timeH6256 wherein one manH120 rulethH7980 over another to his own hurtH7451.
And soH3651 I sawH7200 the wickedH7563 buriedH6912, who had comeH935 and goneH1980 from the placeH4725 of the holyH6918, and they were forgottenH7911 in the cityH5892 where they had so doneH6213: this is also vanityH1892.
Because sentenceH6599 against an evilH7451 workH4639 is not executedH6213 speedilyH4120, therefore the heartH3820 of the sonsH1121 of menH120 is fully setH4390 in them to doH6213 evilH7451.
Though a sinnerH2398 doH6213 evilH7451 an hundred timesH3967, and his days be prolongedH748, yet surely I knowH3045 that it shall be wellH2896 with them that fearH3373 GodH430, which fearH3372 beforeH6440 him:
But it shall not be wellH2896 with the wickedH7563, neither shall he prolongH748 his daysH3117, which are as a shadowH6738; because he fearethH3373 not beforeH6440 GodH430.
There isH3426 a vanityH1892 which is doneH6213 upon the earthH776; that there be justH6662 men, unto whom it happenethH5060 according to the workH4639 of the wickedH7563; again, there beH3426 wickedH7563 men, to whom it happenethH5060 according to the workH4639 of the righteousH6662: I saidH559 that this alsoH1571 is vanityH1892.
Then I commendedH7623 mirthH8057, because a manH120 hath no better thingH2896 under the sunH8121, than to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to be merryH8055: for that shall abideH3867 with him of his labourH5999 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, which GodH430 givethH5414 him under the sunH8121.
When I appliedH5414 mine heartH3820 to knowH3045 wisdomH2451, and to seeH7200 the businessH6045 that is doneH6213 upon the earthH776: (for also there is that neither dayH3117 nor nightH3915 seethH7200 sleepH8142 with his eyesH5869:)
Then I beheldH7200 all the workH4639 of GodH430, that a manH120 cannotH3201 find outH4672 the workH4639 that is doneH6213 under the sunH8121: becauseH834 thoughH7945 a manH120 labourH5998 to seek it outH1245, yet he shall not findH4672 it; yea further; though a wiseH2450 man thinkH559 to knowH3045 it, yet shall he not be ableH3201 to findH4672 it.

The wise man'sH2450 eyesH5869 are in his headH7218; but the foolH3684 walkethH1980 in darknessH2822: and I myself perceivedH3045 also that oneH259 eventH4745 happenethH7136 to them all.
But the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, and didH6213 not as the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 commandedH1696 them, but savedH2421 the men childrenH3206 aliveH2421.
A wise man'sH2450 heartH3820 is at his right handH3225; but a fool'sH3684 heartH3820 at his leftH8040.
Therefore GodH430 dealt wellH3190 with the midwivesH3205: and the peopleH5971 multipliedH7235, and waxed veryH3966 mightyH6105.
And of the childrenH1121 of IssacharH3485, which were men that had understandingH998+H3045 of the timesH6256, to knowH3045 what IsraelH3478 ought to doH6213; the headsH7218 of them were two hundredH3967; and all their brethrenH251 were at their commandmentH6310.
And it came to pass, because the midwivesH3205 fearedH3372 GodH430, that he madeH6213 them housesH1004.
WisdomH2451 is before him that hath understandingH6440+H995; but the eyesH5869 of a foolH3684 are in the endsH7097 of the earthH776.
Ye hypocritesG5273, ye canG1492 discernG1381 the faceG4383 of the skyG3772 andG2532 of the earthG1093; butG1161 how is itG4459 that ye do notG3756 discernG1381 thisG5126 timeG2540?

ButG1161 the naturalG5591 manG444 receivethG1209 notG3756 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316: forG1063 they areG2076 foolishnessG3472 unto himG846: neitherG2532+G3756 canG1410 he knowG1097 them, becauseG3754 they are spirituallyG4153 discernedG350.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, WhetherG1487 it beG2076 rightG1342 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 to hearkenG191 unto youG5216 more thanG3123+G2228 unto GodG2316, judge yeG2919.
ButG1161 he that is spiritualG4152 judgethG350+G3303 all thingsG3956, yetG1161 he himselfG846 is judgedG350 ofG5259 no manG3762. {judgeth: or, discerneth} {judged: or, discerned}

ForG1063 forG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 pay yeG5055 tributeG5411 alsoG2532: forG1063 they areG1526 God'sG2316 ministersG3011, attending continuallyG4342 uponG1519 thisG5124 very thingG846.
RenderG591 thereforeG3767 to allG3956 their duesG3782: tributeG5411 to whomG3588 tributeG5411 is due; customG5056 to whomG3588 customG5056; fearG5401 to whomG3588 fearG5401; honourG5092 to whomG3588 honourG5092.
