Ecclesiastes 8:6-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
6
For there is a proper time and procedure for every delight, though a person’s trouble is heavy upon him.
7
If no one knows what will happen, who can tell him when it will happen?
8
No one has authority over the wind to restrain the wind, nor authority over the day of death; and there is no
military
discharge in the time of war, and evil will not save those who practice it.
King James Version
Chapter 8
6
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
7
For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
8
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
6
For every activity there is a right time and procedure, even though a person’s troubles are heavy on him.
7
Yet no one knows what will happen because who can tell him what will happen?
8
No one has authority over the wind to restrain it, and there is no authority over the day of death; no one is discharged during battle, and wickedness will not allow those who practice it to escape.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
6
for there is a time and a way for everything, even when a person is in trouble.
7
Indeed, how can people avoid what they don’t know is going to happen?
8
None of us can hold back our spirit from departing. None of us has the power to prevent the day of our death. There is no escaping that obligation, that dark battle. And in the face of death, wickedness will certainly not rescue the wicked.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
6
For there is a time and a way for everything, although man 's trouble lies heavy on him.
7
For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how it will be?
8
No man has power to retain the spirit, or power over the day of death. There is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.
New International Version
Chapter 8
6
For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter,
though a person may be weighed down by misery.
7
Since no one knows the future,
who can tell someone else what is to come?
8
As no one has power over the wind to contain it,
so no one has power over the time of their death.
As no one is discharged in time of war,
so wickedness will not release those who practice it.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
6
Because for every matter there is a time and judgment,
Though the misery of man increases greatly.
7
For he does not know what will happen;
So who can tell him when it will occur?
8
No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit,
And no one has power in the day of death.
There is
no release from that war,
And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.
