RF ECC 8:1 Lecture 10: Of the Characteristics of the Philosophic Mind in a Monarch.
Who is philosophic? and who knows how to explain a thing?—The education of a man brightens his face, and greatly changes his expression.
RF ECC 8:2 I commend a King to take care, because of the promises he swore to GOD.
RF ECC 8:3 Be not in haste to go from before Him, nor persist in a wrong thing, for He does all He pleases.
RF ECC 8:4 Although a King's word is powerful, and who dare say to him, "What are you doing?"—
RF ECC 8:5 regard The Law;—and learn not bad practices,—but with an intelligent heart learn opportunity, and justice.
RF ECC 8:6 For there is an opportunity for every purpose, and decision, since many miseries are upon mankind.
RF ECC 8:7 For none of us know what will be; and as to what may happen, who can inform us?
RF ECC 8:8 No man has power over the breath, to retain the breath, and none are powerful in the day of death. And there is no discharge from that war; and villainy cannot deliver its possessor.
RF ECC 8:9 I observed all this when I applied my mind to all the things that are done under the sun, during the period that man has power over man, to injure him.
RF ECC 8:10 And I examined the tombs of the wicked carefully, who had come to, and departed from the Holy Place, and were forgotten in the City where they had done so.—They also were vanity.—
RF ECC 8:11 And I concluded that when quick punishment is not inflicted upon crime, then the heart of the sons of Adam is set in them to do wrong!—
RF ECC 8:12 Yet, although a sinner does wrong a hundred times, and evades from it,—yet I myself know that it will be well for those who reverence God,—who fear before Him,—
RF ECC 8:13 but it will not be well with the wicked; nor can they prolong their days like a shadow,—although they do not fear the presence of GOD.
RF ECC 8:14 Lecture 11: On the Mystery of Life.
This is a puzzle that occurs upon earth;—There are good men who are treated as if they had done like the wicked;—and there are wicked who are treated as though they had done like the good. I said to myself, this is a puzzle!—
RF ECC 8:15 So I, myself, commend cheerfulness, as there is nothing better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink, and be glad, and be at rest from his toil in the days of life which are given him under the sun.
RF ECC 8:16 When I applied my mind to learn science, and to the investigation of the phenomena that are produced upon earth, I perceived that day and night there must be no sleep for one's eyes.
RF ECC 8:17 And having examined all the works of God, I perceived that it is not possible for a man to discover the whole of the result that is produced under the sun;—since however a man endeavors to investigate, he cannot discover all. And even if a philosopher should assert "I know!" he has not been able to discover it.
