Ecclesiastes 8:6 in Context — Ecclesiastes 8
4 Naquilo que há a palavra do rei, ali há autoridade; e quem lhe dirá: O que estás fazendo?
5 Quem obedecer ao mandamento não experimentará mal algum; e o coração do sábio sabe a hora e a maneira [corretas] .
6 Porque para todo propósito há uma hora e uma maneira [correta] ; por isso o mal do homem é muito sobre ele:
7 Pois ele não sabe o que irá acontecer. Quem pode lhe avisar o que vai acontecer, e quando?
8 Não há homem nenhum que tenha domínio sobre o espírito, para reter ao espírito; nem [tem] domínio sobre dia da morte, nem meios de escapar d [esta] guerra; nem a perversidade livrará a seus donos.
