Ecclesiastes 8:5 Context
3Bee not hastie to goe out of his sight: stand not in an euill thing, for he doeth whatsoeuer pleaseth him. 4Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say vnto him, What doest thou? 5Whoso keepeth the commandement, shall feele no euill thing: and a wise mans heart discerneth both time and iudgement. 6¶ Because to euery purpose there is time, and iudgement; therefore the misery of man is great vpon him. 7For hee knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him, when it shall be?
