Ecc 8:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : No one has power to avoid death. No man has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither has he power in the day of death . When the time comes for a person to die, nothing can stop it. No one can delay death—no amount of money, power, or wisdom can help. Death is a battle every person must face; there is no escape or substitute. Even wicked people, who may escape human justice, cannot escape death. In fact, their wickedness will not protect them, but will help bring about their end (Psalm 52:7 ).
