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.

And thisH2090 also is a soreH2470 evilH7451, that in all pointsH5980 as he cameH935, so shall he goH3212: and what profitH3504 hath he that hath labouredH5998 for the windH7307?
It is goodH2896 that thou shouldest take holdH270 of this; yea, also from thisH2088 withdrawH3240 not thine handH3027: for he that fearethH3373 GodH430 shall come forthH3318 of them all.
I knowH3045 that, whatsoever GodH430 doethH6213, it shall be for everH5769: nothingH369 can be putH3254 to it, nor any thing takenH1639 from it: and GodH430 doethH6213 it, that men should fearH3372 beforeH6440 him.
All things have I seenH7200 in the daysH3117 of my vanityH1892: there isH3426 a justH6662 man that perishethH6 in his righteousnessH6664, and there is a wickedH7563 man that prolongethH748 his life in his wickednessH7451.

Moreover thou knowestH3045 also what JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 didH6213 to me, and what he didH6213 to the twoH8147 captainsH8269 of the hostsH6635 of IsraelH3478, unto AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and unto AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, whom he slewH2026, and shedH7760 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 in peaceH7965, and putH5414 the bloodH1818 of warH4421 upon his girdleH2290 that was about his loinsH4975, and in his shoesH5275 that were on his feetH7272. {shed: Heb. put}

But shewH6213 kindnessH2617 unto the sonsH1121 of BarzillaiH1271 the GileaditeH1569, and let them be of those that eatH398 at thy tableH7979: for so they cameH7126 to me when I fledH1272 becauseH6440 of AbsalomH53 thy brotherH251.
And, behold, thou hast with thee ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145 of BahurimH980, which cursedH7043 me with a grievousH4834 curseH7045 in the dayH3117 when I wentH3212 to MahanaimH4266: but he came downH3381 to meetH7125 me at JordanH3383, and I swareH7650 to him by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, I will not put thee to deathH4191 with the swordH2719. {grievous: Heb. strong}
Now therefore hold him not guiltlessH5352: for thou art a wiseH2450 manH376, and knowestH3045 what thou oughtest to doH6213 unto him; but his hoar headH7872 bring thou downH3381 to the graveH7585 with bloodH1818.

Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, my servantsH5650 shall eatH398, but ye shall be hungryH7456: behold, my servantsH5650 shall drinkH8354, but ye shall be thirstyH6770: behold, my servantsH5650 shall rejoiceH8055, but ye shall be ashamedH954:

And they shall buildH1129 housesH1004, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
They shall not buildH1129, and anotherH312 inhabitH3427; they shall not plantH5193, and anotherH312 eatH398: for as the daysH3117 of a treeH6086 are the daysH3117 of my peopleH5971, and mine electH972 shall long enjoyH1086 the workH4639 of their handsH3027. {shall long…: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out}

And it shall come to pass, that before they callH7121, I will answerH6030; and while they are yet speakingH1696, I will hearH8085.
ThenG5119 shall the KingG935 sayG2046 unto them onG1537 hisG846 right handG1188, ComeG1205, ye blessedG2127 of myG3450 FatherG3962, inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 preparedG2090 for youG5213 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889:
ThenG5119 shall he sayG2046 alsoG2532 unto them onG1537 the left handG2176, DepartG4198 fromG575 meG1700, ye cursedG2672, intoG1519 everlastingG166 fireG4442, preparedG2090 for the devilG1228 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32:
ForG1063 I was an hungredG3983, andG2532 ye gaveG1325 meG3427 noG3756 meatG5315: I was thirstyG1372, andG2532 ye gaveG4222 meG3165 noG3756 drinkG4222:
I wasG2252 a strangerG3581, andG2532 ye tookG4863 meG3165 notG3756 inG4863: nakedG1131, andG2532 ye clothedG4016 meG3165 notG3756: sickG772, andG2532 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 ye visitedG1980 meG3165 notG3756.
ThenG5119 shall theyG846 alsoG2532 answerG611 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, whenG4219 saw weG1492 theeG4571 an hungredG3983, orG2228 athirstG1372, orG2228 a strangerG3581, orG2228 nakedG1131, orG2228 sickG772, orG2228 inG1722 prisonG5438, andG2532 didG1247 notG3756 ministerG1247 unto theeG4671?
ThenG5119 shall he answerG611 themG846, sayingG3004, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, InasmuchG1909 asG3745 ye didG4160 it notG3756 to oneG1520 of the leastG1646 of theseG5130, ye didG4160 it notG3761 to meG1698.
AndG2532 theseG3778 shall go awayG565 intoG1519 everlastingG166 punishmentG2851: butG1161 the righteousG1342 intoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166.
