Ecclesiastes 8:9DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 9 of 17
"All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt."
In context
7For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
8no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither power in the day of death: and no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
9All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
10And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this also vanity.
11Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
