Ecclesiastes 8:3
English: Be not hasty; thou shalt go forth out of his presence: stand not in an evil matter; for he will do whatsoever he shall please,
Greek: ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πορεύσῃ, µὴ στῇς ἐν λόγῳ πονηρῷ· ὅτι πᾶν, ὃ ἐὰν θελήσῃ, ποιήσει,
Coptic: ακνεμαsι hα τεfhη μβελκωλομ εhωhι ελετκ hινν ουsεjι εfhαυ jε νη ετfουεsου τηλου fνεειτου
Ecclesiastes 8:4
English: even as a king having power: and who will say to him, What doest thou?
Greek: καθὼς λαλεῖ βασιλεὺς ἐξουσιάζων, καὶ τίς ἐρεῖ αὐτῷ Τί ποιήσεις;
Coptic: νθη ννουιρρα εfsεjι εουαντεf τεξουσια νιμ πετνεjασ νεf jε ουν πετεκνεειf
Ecclesiastes 8:5
English: He that keeps the commandment shall not know an evil thing: and the heart of the wise knows the time of judgment.
Greek: ὁ φυλάσσων ἐντολὴν οὐ γνώσεται ῥῆµα πονηρόν, καὶ καιρὸν κρίσεως γινώσκει καρδία σοφοῦ·
Coptic: πεταλεh ετεντολη ννεfειμι ευsεjι εfhαυ πουαιs μπhεπ fνειμι ελαf νjι φητ μπισβα

Coptic: jε hωβ νιμι ουαντευ πεουαιs μεν τεκρισισ jε πσαουν μπλωμι ναsωf
Ecclesiastes 8:7
English: For there is no one that knows what is going to be: for who shall tell him how it shall be?
Greek: ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν γινώσκων τί τὸ ἐσόµενον, ὅτι καθὼς ἔσται τίς ἀναíελεῖ αὐτῷ;
Coptic: jε μμαν πετειμι jε ουν πετνεsωπι νεf αhα πετνεsωπι νιμ πετνεταμαf
Ecclesiastes 8:8
English: There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; and there is no power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in the day of the battle; neither shall ungodliness save her votary.
Greek: οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος ἐξουσιάζων ἐν πνεύµατι τοῦ κωλῦσαι σὺν τὸ πνεῦµα· καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐξουσία ἐν ἡµέρᾳ τοῦ θανάτου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀποστολὴ ἐν τῷ πολέµῳ, καὶ οὐ διασώσει ἀσέβεια τὸν παρ’ αὐτῆς.
Coptic: μαν ουλωμι εfjινjαμ εfειλ οσ μπεπνα ετλεfκωλυ μπεπνα αhα μαν εξουσια μπεhαου μπμου αhα κω εβαλ μπεhαου νταυμιsι hληι νhητf αhα τμετασεβησ νεσνεhεμ πεει ετηπ ελασ
Ecclesiastes 8:9
English: So I saw all this, and I applied my heart to every work that has been done under the sun; all the things wherein man has power over man to afflict him.
Greek: καὶ σὺν πᾶν τοῦτο εἶδον καὶ ἔδωκα τὴν καρδίαν µου εἰς πᾶν ποίηµα, ὃ πεποίηται ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον, τὰ ὅσα ἐξουσιάσατο ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ κακῶσαι αὐτόν·
Coptic: αhα πει τηλεf αεινευ ελαf αειt μπαhητ επταμια τηλf νενταυταμιαυ νhαλαf μπρε νετα πλωμι ειλ οσ νhητου μπλωμι ετhεμκαf
Ecclesiastes 8:10
English: And then I saw the ungodly carried into the tombs, and that out of the holy place: and they departed, and were praised in the city, because they had done thus: this also is vanity.
Greek: καὶ τότε εἶδον ἀσεβεῖς εἰς τάφους εἰσαχθέντας, καὶ ἐκ τόπου ἁγίου ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἐπῃνέθησαν ἐν τῇ πόλει, ὅτι οὕτως ἐποίησαν. καί γε τοῦτο µαταιότης.

Ecclesiastes 8:11
English: Because there is no contradiction made on the part of those who do evil quickly, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully determined in them to do evil.
Greek: ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν γινοµένη ἀντίρρησις ἀπὸ τῶν ποιούντων τὸ πονηρὸν ταχύ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐπληροφορήθη καρδία υἱῶν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν αὐτοῖς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρόν.
Coptic: jε μμαν πετjεjι εβαλ ννενταυειλ ππετhαυ hινν ουκωλομ ελβε πει α φητ ννsηλι ννιλωμι αfτωτ ελαυ hιμ πευhητ μπτλευ
Ecclesiastes 8:12
English: He that has sinned has done evil from that time, and long from beforehand: nevertheless I know, that it is well with them that fear God, that they may fear before him:
Greek: ὃς ἥµαρτεν, ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἀπὸ τότε καὶ ἀπὸ µακρότητος αὐτῷ· ὅτι καί γε γινώσκω ἐγὼ ὅτι ἔσται ἀγαθὸν τοῖς φοβουµένοις τὸν θεόν, ὅπως φοβῶνται ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ·
Coptic:    νhαt hα θη μφt jεκεσ ευειλ hαt hα τεfhη
Ecclesiastes 8:14
English: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there are righteous persons to whom it happens according to the doing of the ungodly; and there are ungodly men, to whom it happens according to the doing of the just: I said, This is also vanity.
Greek: ἔστιν µαταιότης, ἣ πεποίηται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι εἰσὶ δίκαιοι ὅτι φθάνει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὡς ποίηµα τῶν ἀσεβῶν, καὶ εἰσὶν ἀσεβεῖς ὅτι φθάνει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὡς ποίηµα τῶν δικαίων· εἶπα ὅτι καί γε τοῦτο µαταιότης.
Coptic: ουαν ουμιντπιjει εταυεισ hληι εjιν πκεhι jε ουαν hενμει ετεσνεει hληι εjωου νθη μπταμια ννιασεβησ ουαν hενασεβησ εsασταhαυ jε πταμια ννιμει νει εhληι εjωου αhα αειjασ jε πεικητ αν ουπιjεει πε
Ecclesiastes 8:16
English: Whereupon I set my heart to know wisdom, and to perceive the trouble that was wrought upon the earth: for there is that neither by day nor night sees sleep with his eyes.
Greek: Ἐν οἷς ἔδωκα τὴν καρδίαν µου τοῦ γνῶναι σοφίαν καὶ τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὸν περισπασµὸν τὸν πεποιηµένον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὅτι καί γε ἐν ἡµέρᾳ καὶ ἐν νυκτὶ ὕπνον ἐν ὀφθαλµοῖς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν βλέπων,
