Ecclesiastes 8:5-8
English Standard Version
5 Whoever keeps a command will know no evil thing, and the wise heart will know the proper time and the just way.[a] 6 For there is a time and a way (A)for everything, although man's trouble[b] lies heavy on him. 7 For he (B)does not know what is to be, for (C)who can tell him how it will be? 8 No man has power to (D)retain the spirit, (E)or power over the day of death. There is no (F)discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.
