Ecclesiastes 8:5-8
5Whoso keepethH8104 the commandmentH4687 shall feelH3045 no evilH7451 thingH1697: and a wise man’sH2450 heartH3820 discernethH3045 both timeH6256 and judgmentH4941.1
6Because to every purposeH2656 there isH3426 timeH6256 and judgmentH4941, therefore the miseryH7451 of manH120 is greatH7227 upon him. 7For he knowethH3045 not that which shall be: for who can tellH5046 him when it shall be?2 8There is no manH120 that hath powerH7989 over the spiritH7307 to retainH3607 the spiritH7307; neither hath he powerH7983 in the dayH3117 of deathH4194: and there is no dischargeH4917 in that warH4421; neither shall wickednessH7562 deliverH4422 those that are givenH1167 to it.3
