8 aNo one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit,
And no one has power in the day of death.
There is bno release from that war,
And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.
And no one has power in the day of death.
There is bno release from that war,
And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.
9 All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.
Death Comes to All
10 Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were aforgotten in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity.
11 aBecause the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
