Ecclesiastes 8:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ for he does not know that which shall be; nor when it shall be. Who will teach it to him?

⁸ There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death, and weapons are of no use in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.

⁹ ¶ All this I have seen and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: the time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.
