Ecclesiastes 8:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ For ^(A)there is a proper time and procedure for every delight, though a person’s trouble is heavy upon him. ⁷ If no one ^(B)knows what will happen, who can tell him when it will happen? ^8 (C)No one has authority over the wind to restrain the wind, nor authority over the day of death; and there is no military discharge in the time of war, and ^(D)evil will not save ^[a]those who practice it.
