Ecclesiastes 8:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ A person will be safe if he obeys the king’s command.
    A wise man knows how to do the right thing at the right time.
⁶ And there is a right time and a right way for everything.
    Yet people often have many troubles.
⁷ They do not know what the future holds.
    No one can tell them what will happen.
