傳道書 8:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ecclesiastes 8:7

For he knoweth not that which shall be
Or that "it shall be" F2; that he ever shall have the opportunity again he has lost, nor what is to come hereafter; what shall be on the morrow, or what shall befall him in the remaining part of his days; what troubles and sorrows he shall meet with, or what will be the case and circumstances of his family after his death; for who can tell him when it shall be?
or "how it shall be" F3? how it will be with him or his; no one that pretends to judicial astrology, or to the art of divination, or any such devices, can tell him what is to come; future things are only certainly known by God; none but he can tell what will certainly come to pass; see ( Ecclesiastes 3:22 ) ( 6:12 ) ; Jarchi interprets it of a man's not considering for what God will bring him to judgment, and that no man can tell him the vengeance and punishment that will be inflicted.

傳道書 8:7 In-Context

5 凡 遵 守 命 令 的 , 必 不 經 歷 禍 患 ; 智 慧 人 的 心 能 辨 明 時 候 和 定 理 ( 原 文 是 審 判 ; 下 節 同 ) 。
6 各 樣 事 務 成 就 都 有 時 候 和 定 理 , 因 為 人 的 苦 難 重 壓 在 他 身 上 。
7 他 不 知 道 將 來 的 事 , 因 為 將 來 如 何 , 誰 能 告 訴 他 呢 ?
8 無 人 有 權 力 掌 管 生 命 , 將 生 命 留 住 ; 也 無 人 有 權 力 掌 管 死 期 ; 這 場 爭 戰 , 無 人 能 免 ; 邪 惡 也 不 能 救 那 好 行 邪 惡 的 人 。
9 這 一 切 我 都 見 過 , 也 專 心 查 考 日 光 之 下 所 做 的 一 切 事 。 有 時 這 人 管 轄 那 人 , 令 人 受 害 。
