American Standard Version
"for he knoweth not that which shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be? "
— Ecclesiastes 8:7, American Standard Version
“For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?”
“For he doesn't know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?”
“Surely no one knows the future, and no one can tell another person what will happen.”
“Because he is ignorant of things past, and things to come he cannot know by any messenger.”
“No one is certain what is to be, and who is able to say to him when it will be?”
“For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?”
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.
So I saw the wicked buried, and they came to the grave; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is vanity.
