Ecclesiastes 8:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ Whoever obeys his commands will avoid trouble. The mind of a wise person will know the right time and the right way ⌞to act⌟. ⁶ There is a right time and a right way ⌞to act⌟ in every situation. Yet, a terrible human tragedy hangs over people.

⁷ They don’t know what the future will bring. So who can tell them how things will turn out?
