Ecclesiastes 8:8


Ecclesiastes 8:7 Ecclesiastes 8:8 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 8:9
For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
[There is] no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither [hath he] power in the day of death: and [there is] no discharge in [that] war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: [there is] a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
