Ecclesiastes 8:6


Ecclesiastes 8:5 Ecclesiastes 8:6 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 8:7
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man [is] great upon him.
For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
