Ecclesiastes 8:7-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. They do not know what the future holds.No one can tell them what will happen.

8. No one has the power to keep the wind from blowing.No one has the power to stop his own death.During war a soldier cannot go home.So also, the person who does evil will not get away free.

9. I saw all of this as I studied. I considered all that is done here on earth. And I saw men rule others and hurt them.

10. I saw evil people being buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place. Good things were said about them in the same towns where they had done evil. This is senseless, too.
