Ecclesiastes 8:4-8 New Century Version (NCV)

4. What the king says is law; no one tells him what to do.

5. Whoever obeys the king’s command will be safe.A wise person does the right thing at the right time.

6. There is a right time and a right way for everything,yet people often have many troubles.

7. They do not know what the future holds,and no one can tell them what will happen.

8. No one can control the windor stop his own death.No soldier is released in times of war,and evil does not set free those who do evil.
