Ecclesiastes 8:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 Yet no one knows what will happen(A) because who can tell him what will happen? 8 No one has authority over the wind[a] to restrain it,(B) and there is no authority over the day of death;(C) no one is discharged during battle, and wickedness will not allow those who practice it to escape. 9 All this I have seen, applying my mind to all the work that is done under the sun, at a time when one person has authority over another to his harm.
