Ecclesiastes 8:7 Context
5Whoso keepeth the commandement, shall feele no euill thing: and a wise mans heart discerneth both time and iudgement. 6¶ Because to euery purpose there is time, and iudgement; therefore the misery of man is great vpon him. 7For hee knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him, when it shall be? 8There is no man that hath power ouer the spirit to retaine the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that warre, neither shall wickednesse deliuer those that are giuen to it. 9All this haue I seene, and applied my heart vnto euery worke that is done vnder the Sunne: there is a time wherein one man ruleth ouer another to his owne hurt.
