Ecclesiastes 8:8 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 8 Just as no man has power over the spirit* or can restrain the spirit, so no one has power over the day of death.+ Just as no one is discharged during a war, so wickedness will not allow those who practice it to escape.* Isaiah 57:16 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures 16 For I will not oppose them foreverOr always remain indignant;+For a man’s spirit would grow feeble because of me,+Even the breathing creatures that I have made.
