Ecclesiastes 8:8

Context

8:8 Just as no one has power over the wind to restrain it, 1 

so no one has power over the day of his 2  death.

Just as no one can be discharged during the battle, 3 

so wickedness cannot rescue the wicked. 4 

1 tn Heb “There is not a man who has mastery over the wind to restrain the wind.”

2 tn The word “his” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Heb “There is no discharge in war.”

4 tn Heb “its owners.”
