In context

5Whoever keeps his command will come to no harm, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure.

6For there is a right time and procedure to every purpose, though a man’s misery weighs heavily upon him.

7Since no one knows what will happen, who can tell him what is to come?

8As no man has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has authority over his day of death. As no one can be discharged in wartime, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.

9All this I have seen, applying my mind to every deed that is done under the sun; there is a time when one man lords it over another to his own detriment.
