Ecclesiastes 8:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ No one knows what lies ahead.
    So who can tell someone else what’s going to happen?
⁸ No one can stop the wind from blowing.
    And no one has the power to decide when they will die.
No one is let out of the army in times of war.
    And evil won’t let go of those who practice it.
