ECCLESIASTES

Ecclesiastes 8

1The wisdom of a man shineth in his countenance, and the most mighty will change his face.
Acts 6:15, Acts 6:15, Deuteronomy 28:50, Deuteronomy 28:50, Acts 4:29
2I observe the mouth of the king, and the commandments of the oath of God.
1 Kings 2:43, 1 Kings 2:43, Proverbs 24:21, Titus 3:1, Proverbs 24:21
3Be not hasty to depart from his face, and do not continue in an evil work: for he will do all that pleaseth him:
Ecclesiastes 10:4, Ecclesiastes 10:4, Daniel 5:19, Proverbs 14:29, Daniel 4:35
4And his word is full of power: neither can any man say to him: Why dost thou so?
Job 9:12, Job 9:12, Daniel 4:35, Romans 13:1, Romans 13:4
5He that keepeth the commandment, shall find no evil. The heart of a wiser man understandeth time and answer.
Hebrews 5:14, Hebrews 5:14, 1 Peter 3:13, 1 Peter 3:14, Philippians 1:9
6There is a time and opportunity for every business, and great affliction for man:
Ecclesiastes 3:1, Ecclesiastes 3:1, Ecclesiastes 3:17, Ecclesiastes 3:17, Luke 19:42
7Because he is ignorant of things past, and things to come he cannot know by any messenger.
Ecclesiastes 10:14, Ecclesiastes 10:14, Matthew 24:50, Ecclesiastes 9:12, Proverbs 24:22
8It is not in man's power to stop the spirit, neither hath he power in the day of death, neither is he suffered to rest when war is at hand, neither shall wickedness save the wicked.
Psalms 89:48, Job 14:5, Psalms 89:48, Job 14:5, Hebrews 9:27
9All these things I have considered, and applied my heart to all the works that are done under the sun. Sometimes one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
Ecclesiastes 5:8, Ecclesiastes 5:8, Ecclesiastes 4:7, Ecclesiastes 4:8, Ecclesiastes 5:13
10I saw the wicked buried: who also when they were yet living were in the holy place, and were praised in the city as men of just works: but this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 9:5, Ecclesiastes 9:5, Proverbs 10:7, Ecclesiastes 2:16, Proverbs 10:7
11For because sentence is not speedily pronounced against the evil, the children of men commit evils without any fear.
Isaiah 26:10, Isaiah 26:10, Psalms 50:21, Psalms 50:22, Psalms 50:21
12But though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and by patience be borne withal, I know from thence that it shall be well with them that fear God, who dread his face.
Psalms 37:11, Psalms 37:11, 2 Peter 2:9, Ecclesiastes 7:15, 2 Peter 2:9
13But let it not be well with the wicked, neither let his days be prolonged, but as a shadow let them pass away that fear not the face of the Lord.
Ecclesiastes 6:12, Ecclesiastes 6:12, Job 14:2, Isaiah 3:11, Job 14:2
14There is also another vanity, which is done upon the earth. There are just men to whom evils happen, as though they had done the works of the wicked: and there are wicked men, who are as secure as though they had the deeds of the just: but this also I judge most vain.
Ecclesiastes 7:15, Ecclesiastes 7:15, Ecclesiastes 2:14, Malachi 3:15, Ecclesiastes 2:14
15Therefore I commended mirth, because there was no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry, and that he should take nothing else with him of his labour in the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 2:24, Ecclesiastes 2:24, Ecclesiastes 5:18, Ecclesiastes 5:18, Ecclesiastes 3:12
16And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to understand the distraction that is upon earth: for there are some that day and night take no sleep with their eyes.
Ecclesiastes 2:23, Psalms 127:2, Ecclesiastes 1:13, Ecclesiastes 2:23, Psalms 127:2
17And I understood that man can find no reason of all those works of God that are done under the sun: and the more he shall labour to seek, so much the less shall he find: yea, though the wise man shall say, that he knoweth it, he shall not be able to find it.
Ecclesiastes 3:11, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Romans 11:33, Psalms 73:16, Romans 11:33
