Ecclesiastes 8:6
World English Bible
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
3 Don`t be hasty to go out of his presence. Don`t persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,
4 for the king`s word is supreme. Who can say to him, "What are you doing?"
5 Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heart will know the time and procedure.
6 For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.
7 For he doesn`t know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?
8 There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practices it.
9 All this have I seen, and applied my mind to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.
