Ecclesiastes 8:10
Compare all
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,

12 aThough a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that bit will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.  
13 But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
14 There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just men to whom it ahappens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the brighteous. I said that this also is vanity.  
15 aSo I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.  
16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night,
