Ecclesiastes 8:7

Surely no one knows the future, ¹  and no one can tell another person what will happen. ² 

Since no man knows the future, who can tell him what is to come?

If no one knows what will happen, who can tell him when it will happen?

Indeed, how can people avoid what they don’t know is going to happen?

It's true that no one knows what's going to happen, or when. Who's around to tell us?

No one is certain what is to be, and who is able to say to him when it will be?

Indeed, they do not know what is to be, for who can tell them how it will be?

For he does not know what will happen; So who can tell him when it will occur?

Surely no one knows the future, ¹  and no one can tell another person what will happen. ² 

¹ tn Heb “what will be.”
