Ecclesiastes 8:8
Ecclesiastes 8:8 — The New International Version (NIV)

As no one is discharged in time of war,
so wickedness will not release those who practice it.

Ecclesiastes 8:8 — New Living Translation (NLT)

Ecclesiastes 8:8 — The New King James Version (NKJV)

And no one has power in the day of death.
There is no release from that war,
And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.

or stop his own death.
No soldier is released in times of war,
and evil does not set free those who do evil.

Ecclesiastes 8:8 — GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
8 No one has the power to prevent the spiritof life from leaving. No one has control over the day of his own death. There is no way to avoid the war ⸤against death⸥. Wickedness will not save wicked people ⸤from dying⸥.

so also no one can control the day of his death.
Just as no one is discharged in time of war,
so wickedness will not deliver the wicked.

And he doesn’t have the power to decide when he will die.

And evil won’t let go of those who practice it.
