Eclesiastés 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.

Eclesiastés 8:7 In-Context

5 Quienes lo obedezcan no serán castigados. Los sabios encontrarán el momento y la forma de hacer lo correcto,
6 pues hay un tiempo y un modo para cada cosa, incluso cuando uno está en apuros.
7 Además, ¿cómo puede uno evitar lo que no sabe que está por suceder?
8 Nadie puede retener su espíritu y evitar que se marche. Nadie tiene el poder de impedir el día de su muerte. No hay forma de escapar de esa cita obligatoria: esa batalla oscura. Y al enfrentarse con la muerte, la maldad no rescatará al malvado.
9 El malvado y el justo
He reflexionado mucho acerca de todo lo que ocurre bajo el sol, donde las personas tienen poder para herirse unas a otras.
