American Standard Version
"for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him: "
— Ecclesiastes 8:6, American Standard Version
“Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.”
“For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.”
“For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, for the oppression of the king is severe upon his victim.”
“There is a time and opportunity for every business, and great affliction for man:”
“For every purpose there is a time and a decision, because the sorrow of man is great in him.”
“Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.”
Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
For the king’s word hath power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man’s heart discerneth time and judgment:
for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him:
for he knoweth not that which shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be?
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it.
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man hath power over another to his hurt.
