Ecclesiastes 8:5-8

5Whoso keepeth the commandmentH4687 shall knowH3045 noH3808 evilH7451 thingH1697; and a wiseH2450 man’sH2450 heartH3820 discerneth time and judgmentH4941:

6for to everyH3605 purposeH2656 there is a time and judgmentH4941; becauseH3588 the misery of manH120 is greatH7227 uponH5921 him:

7for he knoweth notH369 that whichH834 shall be; for who canH4310 tellH5046 him howH4100 it shall be?

8There is noH3808 manH120 that hath power over the spiritH7307 to retainH4422 the spiritH7307; neitherH3808 hath he power over the dayH3117 of deathH4194; and there is noH3808 dischargeH4917 in that warH4421: neitherH3808 shall wickednessH7562 deliverH4422 him that is given to it.
