Ecclesiastes 8:7-9

Legacy Standard Bible

⁷ If no one ^(A)knows what will happen, who can tell him when it will happen? ^8 (B)There is no man who has power to restrain the wind with the wind, and there is none who has power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in the time of war, and ^(C)wickedness will not provide escape to its masters. ⁹ All this I have seen and given my heart to every work that has been done under the sun wherein a man has ^(D)power over another man to his calamity.
