ECCLESIASTES 8:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1
Eccl 8:6Eccl 8:8
For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
The question of who knows what will be, or who can tell anyone what will happen after them, reiterates the limits of human foresight. The rhetorical question expects a negative answer: no one can know, and therefore no one can authoritatively predict or control the future. This verse reinforces the need for humility and acceptance of uncertainty.
