5 He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful;
And a wise man’s heart1 discerns both time and judgment,
And a wise man’s heart1 discerns both time and judgment,
6 Because afor every matter there is a time and judgment,
Though the misery of man1 increases greatly.
Though the misery of man1 increases greatly.
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.
