Ecclesiastes 8:8-10
New King James Version
8 (A)No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit,
And no one has power in the day of death.
There is (B)no release from that war,
And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.
9 All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.
Death Comes to All
10 Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were (C)forgotten[a] in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity.
