Ecclesiastes 8:5-7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 Whoever observes the [king’s] command will experience no harm, and a wise man’s mind will know both when and what to do.
6 For every purpose and matter has its [right] time and judgment, although the misery and wickedness of man lies heavily upon him [who rebels against the king].
7 For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how and when it will be?

Ecclesiastes 8:5-7
New International Version
5 Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm,
and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.
6 For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter,(A)
though a person may be weighed down by misery.
7 Since no one knows the future,
who can tell someone else what is to come?
