Ecclesiastes 8:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ There is a time and opportunity for every business, and great affliction for man:

⁷ Because he is ignorant of things past, and things to come he cannot know by any messenger.

⁸ It is not in man's power to stop the spirit, neither hath he power in the day of death, neither is he suffered to rest when war is at hand, neither shall wickedness save the wicked.
