Ecclesiastes 8:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ For he does not know that which shall be. For who can tell him when it shall be?

⁸ Man is not Lord over the spirit, to retain the spirit. Nor does he have power on the day of death or deliverance in the battle. Nor shall wickedness deliver its possessors.

⁹ All this have I seen and have given my heart to every work which is wrought under the Sun. And I saw a time that man rules over man to his own hurt.
