Ecclesiastes 8 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

I say, “Keep ^H8104 the [fn]command ^H6310 of the king ^H4428 because ^H5921 H1697 of the oath ^H7621 [fn]before God ^H430.

One who keeps ^H8104 a royal command ^H4687 experiences ^H3045 no ^H3808 [fn]trouble ^H1697 H7451, for a wise ^H2450 heart ^H3820 knows ^H3045 the proper time ^H6256 and procedure ^H4941.

So ^H3651 then, I have seen ^H7200 the wicked ^H7563 buried ^H6912, those who used to go ^H935 in ^H935 and out of the holy ^H6918 place ^H4725, and they are soon forgotten ^H7911 in the city ^H5892 where ^H834 they did ^H6213 such ^H3651 things ^H3651. This ^H2088 too ^H1571 is futility ^H1892.

There ^H3426 is ^H3426 futility ^H1892 which ^H834 is done ^H6213 on the earth ^H776, that is, there ^H3426 are ^H3426 righteous ^H6662 people ^H6662 to whom ^H834 it [fn]happens ^H5060 according to the deeds ^H4639 of the wicked ^H7563. On the other hand, there ^H3426 are ^H3426 evil ^H7563 people ^H7563 to whom ^H7945 it [fn]happens ^H5060 according to the deeds ^H4639 of the righteous ^H6662. I say ^H559 that this ^H2088 too ^H1571 is futility ^H1892.

When ^H834 I devoted ^H5414 my [fn]mind ^H3820 to know ^H3045 wisdom ^H2451 and to see ^H7200 the business ^H6045 which ^H834 has been done ^H6213 on the earth ^H776 (even ^H1571 though ^H3588 one ^H369 should [fn]never ^H369 sleep ^{H7200 H8142 H5869} day ^H3117 or night ^H3915),
