Ecclesiastes 8:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 8
5 Celui qui observe le commandement ne connaît point de chose mauvaise, et le cœur du sage connaît le temps et le jugement.
6 Car il y a pour toute chose un temps et un jugement, quand le malheur accable l’homme.
7 Mais il ne sait point ce qui arrivera, et qui lui dira comment cela arrivera?
8 L’homme n’est pas maître de son souffle pour pouvoir le retenir, et il n’a aucune puissance sur le jour de la mort; il n’y a point de délivrance dans ce combat, et la méchanceté ne saurait sauver les méchants.
9 J’ai vu tout cela, et j’ai appliqué mon cœur à tout ce qui se fait sous le soleil. Il y a un temps où l’homme domine sur l’homme pour le rendre malheureux.
