6 For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.

7 For he doesn’t know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?

8 There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.
