Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

8:3
Waiting
Don't be hasty to go out of his presence. Don't persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,
8:4
Waiting
for the king's word is supreme. Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"
8:5

Waiting
For he doesn't know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?
8:8
Waiting
There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practices it.
8:9
Waiting
All this have I seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.
8:10
Waiting

8:14
Waiting
There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
8:15
Waiting
Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.
8:16
Waiting
When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night sees sleep with his eyes),
8:17
Waiting
then I saw all the work of God, that man can't find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won't find it. Yes, moreover, though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, yet he won't be able to find it.
