Ecclesiastes 8:8

JUB

NIV

8 <em>There is</em> no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither <em>does he have</em> power over the day of death, and weapons are of no use in <em>that</em> war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
8 As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over the time of their death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.
