Ecclesiastes 8:6-9

⁶For every purpose there is a time and a decision, because the sorrow of man is great in him.

⁷No one is certain what is to be, and who is able to say to him when it will be?

⁸No man has authority over the wind, to keep the wind; or is ruler over the day of his death. In war no man's time is free, and evil will not keep the sinner safe.

⁹All this have I seen, and have given my heart to all the work which is done under the sun: there is a time when man has power over man for his destruction.
