Ecclesiastes 8:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
8 Man is not Lord [a]over the spirit to retain the spirit: neither hath he power in the day of death, nor deliverance in the battle, neither shall wickedness deliver the possessors thereof.
9 All this have I seen, and have given mine heart to every work which is wrought under the sun, and I saw a time that man ruleth over man to his own [b]hurt.
