Ecclesiastes 8:5-10

⁵Whoso keepeth the commandment will experience no evil thing: and a wise man's heart knoweth both time and the just consequence.

⁶Because for every pursuit there is a time and a just consequence; for the evil of man resteth heavily upon him.

⁷For he knoweth not that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?

⁸No man hath control over the spirit to detain the spirit; and there is no control over the day of death; and there is no representation in that war; and wickedness will not deliver those that practise it.

⁹All this have I seen, and directed my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time when one man ruleth over another to his own injury.

¹⁰Then also did I see the wicked buried, who had gone to their rest; but those who had acted correctly had to go away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city. Also this is vanity.
