Ecclesiastes 8:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 (A)No one has authority over the wind to restrain the wind, nor authority over the day of death; and there is no military discharge in the time of war, and (B)evil will not save [a]those who practice it. 9 All this I have seen, and have applied my [b]mind to every deed that has been done under the sun at a time when one person has exercised (C)authority over another person to his detriment.
10 So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out of the holy place, and they are (D)soon forgotten in the city where they did such things. This too is futility.
