Ecclesiastes 8:11 KJV 11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. AKJV 11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
These are my thoughts. Our hearts lead us to evil this is why we have to let Jesus change our hearts.

Ecclesiastes 8:10 KJV 10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity. AKJV 10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
These are my thoughts. Perhaps one of the saddest things is wasting a life away.

Ecclesiastes 8:9 KJV 9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. AKJV 9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man rules over another to his own hurt.
These are my thoughts. The heart leads people many different ways but it is more important that we follow Jesus with my heart.

Ecclesiastes 8:8
KJV 8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
AKJV 8 There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither has he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
These are my thoughts.
It is only by Jesus that we can do this.

KJV 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.

We are wise to follow God’s commandments and stay away from evil.

KJV 4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

These are my thoughts.
Kings have power but the Lord has all power.

Ecclesiastes 8:3 KJV 3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. AKJV 3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he does whatever pleases him.
These are my thoughts. This is the way the world lives we are to live for Him so we stay in His presence.

Ecclesiastes 8:2 KJV 2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. AKJV 2 I counsel you to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
These are my thoughts. We should not make oaths but simply live to follow the Word of our Lord and King.

Ecclesiastes 8:1
KJV 1 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
AKJV 1 Who is as the wise man? and who knows the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom makes his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
These are my thoughts.
Where do find our wisdom from man or from God?

Ecclesiastes 7:29
KJV 29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
AKJV 29 See, this only have I found, that God has made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
These are my thoughts.
God made man to live in His perfect will but our flesh keeps us from Him thru Christ we gain righteousness.

These are my thoughts. Nobody in this world can take God’s place in our heart.

Ecclesiastes 7:26 KJV 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. AKJV 26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
These are my thoughts. Thru God we can overcome our greatest temptations.

Ecclesiastes 7:25
KJV 25 I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
AKJV 25 I applied my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
These are my thoughts.
We can seek this world for wisdom but it is nothing compared to God’s wisdom and the wisdom we gain thru Him.

Ecclesiastes 7:23 KJV 23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. AKJV 23 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
These are my thoughts. To be given wisdom is for the Lord to give us seeking Him often times brings us a wisdom as we get closer to Him.

Ecclesiastes 7:21 KJV 21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: AKJV 21 Also take no heed to all words that are spoken; lest you hear your servant curse you:

Ecclesiastes 7:22
KJV 22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
AKJV 22 For oftentimes also your own heart knows that you yourself likewise have cursed others.

Proverbs 6:18 KJV 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, UKJV 18 An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
These are my thoughts. If we follow after what our heart wants then it leads us to sin this is why God is to change our heart.

Ecclesiastes 7:17 KJV 17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? AKJV 17 Be not over much wicked, neither be you foolish: why should you die before your time?

KJV 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
AKJV 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also has set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
These are my thoughts.
When we go thru good times we should praise Him but thru the hard times we should turn to Him.

KJV 13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

God can make the crooked straight, we saves the lost and this is a miracle.

AKJV 12 For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom gives life to them that have it.

Ecclesiastes 6:12 KJV 12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? AKJV 12 For who knows what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spends as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
These are my thoughts. Without having purpose life is in vain but the purpose of life is to please the Lord and by this life is in Him and not in vain.
