Ecclesiastes 8:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ There is a right time for things to happen.
    There is a right way to do things.
But trouble comes to people anyway.
⁷ Nobody knows what will happen in the future.
    Nobody can tell us about it.
⁸ Nobody has the power to control the wind.
    Also, nobody has the power to decide the day of their death.
Soldiers are not allowed to leave a battle.
    Also, if people do wicked things,
    that will not rescue them.
