Kommentar zu Kohelet 8:7
כִּֽי־אֵינֶ֥נּוּ יֹדֵ֖עַ מַה־שֶּׁיִּֽהְיֶ֑ה כִּ֚י כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר יִֽהְיֶ֔ה מִ֖י יַגִּ֥יד לֽוֹ׃
Denn wer nicht voraussieht, was sein wird der weiß es nicht, auch wenn es eintrifft.
Rashi on Ecclesiastes
For he knows not what will be. When the wicked man sins, he does not give thought that the Holy One, Blessed Is He, is destined to bring him to judgment, and woe is to him because of this.10Alternatively, man is unable to foresee specific future events. Ibn Ezra

Rashi on Ecclesiastes
For when it comes to pass. The punishment, “who will tell him,” [i.e.,] to discuss [the matter] with him and to take advice and to ask permission, for it will suddenly befall him.11Alternatively, when a person is about to sin, who will forewarn him of the consequences so that he will be more cautious. (Sforno)
