Ecclesiastes 8:8-10
Christian Standard Bible
8 No one has authority over the wind[a] to restrain it,(A) and there is no authority over the day of death;(B) no one is discharged during battle, and wickedness will not allow those who practice it to escape. 9 All this I have seen, applying my mind to all the work that is done under the sun, at a time when one person has authority over another to his harm.
10 In such circumstances, I saw the wicked buried. They came and went from the holy place,(C) and they were praised[b] in the city where they did those things. This too is futile.
