Ecclesiastes 8:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ None of us knows what is going to happen, and there is no one to tell us. ⁸ No one can keep from dying or put off the day of death. That is a battle we cannot escape; we cannot cheat our way out.

The Wicked and the Righteous

⁹ I saw all this when I thought about the things that are done in this world, a world where some people have power and others have to suffer under them.
