For he does not know what shall be. For who can tell him when it shall be?

Man is not a ruler over the spirit, to restrain the spirit; nor has he power in the day of death. And there is no discharge in that war, nor shall wickedness deliver its possessors.

All this I have seen. I gave my heart to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which a man rules over a man for his evil.

And so I saw the wicked buried; and they came and went from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city, these things that they had done. This is also vanity.

Where sentence on an evil work is not executed speedily, on account of this the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Though a sinner does evil a hundred times , and his days are prolonged to him, yet surely I know that it shall be well to those who fear God, who fear before Him.

But it shall not be well for the wicked; and he shall not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
