I love the way the ESV translates the last half of Ecc 8.5:
The wise heart will know the proper time and the just way. While this is set in the context of interaction with the king, it is applicable to any person at any time. For this reason, we ought to cultivate a wise heart, by fearing the Lord, so that we will know the right thing to do, and the proper time to act. Lord, give me a wise heart!
