Bonds are in her hands. 

 The good man before the Face of God 

 Shall be snatched away from her : 

 And the one sinning shall be taken with 



28 Behold this did I find, said the Ecclesiast, 

 One by one to find a disputing ; 



29 Which my soul sought, and I found not — 

 And I found one man among a thousand,* 

 And a woman in all these I found not. 



30 But behold this I found— 



What God has done with man is right : 

 But they have sought many disputings.

8 Wisdom enlightens a man's countenance : 

 And the shameless in his face shall be hated. 



2 Watch the mouth of the King, 



And haste not concerning the word of the oath of God. 



3 Go from His Pi'esence, 

 Stand not in wicked word : 



For He shall do whatever He pleaseth, 



4 As a King having authority : 



And who shall say, What doest thou '? 



5 He that keeps the commandment 

 Shall not know an evil thing ; 

 And the heart of the wise 

 Knoweth the season of judgment. 



6 For to everything is a season, and a judgment : 

 So that the knowledge of a man is great to him. 



7 For there is none who knoweth what shall be ; 

 For how it shall be, who shall announce to him ? 



8 There is no one that hath power over the spirit, 

 That he may retain the spirit : 



And there is no power in the day of death, 



And there is no discharge in the day of (that) war : 



And impiety shall not save that belonging to it.

9 This all have I seen : 



And [ applied my heart to every work, 



Which is done under the sun : 



In how many things man has authority over man to afliict him.
