Ecclesiastes 8:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 8
4 Pues la palabra del rey [es con] potestad, ¿y quién le dirá, Qué haces?
5 El que guarda el mandamiento no experimentará mal; y el tiempo y el juicio conoce el corazón del sabio.
6 Porque para todo lo que quisieres hay tiempo y juicio; mas el trabajo del hombre es grande sobre él;
7 Porque no sabe lo que ha de ser; y el cuándo haya de ser, ¿quién se lo enseñará?
8 No hay hombre que tenga potestad sobre el espíritu para retener el espíritu, ni potestad sobre el día de la muerte: y no [valen] armas en [tal] guerra; ni la impiedad librará al que la posee.
