Ecclesiastes 8:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ As no one has power to restrain the wind, there is no power over the day of death. No discharge is granted during war, and wickedness will not deliver those who practice it.

Life Is Not Fair

⁹ All this I saw while I was applying my heart to every work done under the sun, during this time when one man has power over another to harm him.^{[a] 10} While doing this, I have seen wicked people buried. They had come and gone from the holy place, and they were praised^[b] in the city where they had done so! This too is vapor.
