The Koine Bible

Who knows the wise, and who knows the interpretation of a matter? The wisdom of a man will enlighten his face, and the shameless in his face will be hated.

Keep the king’s command, and because of the word of God do not be hasty to swear.

Do not go from his presence; do not stand in an evil matter, because whatever he may wish, he will do.

As a king speaks exercising authority, and who will say to him, What will you do?

He who keeps a commandment will not know an evil word, and the heart of the wise knows the time of judgment.

For to every matter there is a time and judgment, for the knowledge of man is great upon him.

for there is no one knowing what will be, for as it will be, who will declare it to him?

There is no man having authority over the spirit to restrain the spirit, and there is no authority in the day of death, and there is no sending in war, and ungodliness will not deliver the one by it.

And all this I saw, and I gave my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, all that man has exercised authority over in man to harm him

And then I saw the ungodly brought into tombs, and they went from the holy place, and they were praised in the city, because they did thus; yes, also this is vanity

Because there is not a made argument from those who do evil quickly; therefore the heart of the sons of man was fully persuaded in them to do evil

Though a sinner has done evil from then and from long duration for him, yet I know that it will be good for those fearing God, so that they may fear before his face

and it will not be well with the ungodly, and he will not lengthen days in the shadow, who is not fearing from the face of God

There is a vanity which is done on the earth: that there are righteous men, that it happens to them according to the doing of the wicked; and there are wicked men, that it happens to them according to the doing of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

And I praised I with the gladness, because there is nothing good for man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be glad, and this will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life which God has given him under the sun

In which I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the distraction that is done on the earth, because even by day and even by night sleep is not in his eyes, seeing.

And I saw all the works of God, that a man will not be able to find out the work that has been done under the sun; however much a man may toil to seek, yet he will not find it. And though the wise man may say that he knows, he will not be able to find it.
