כִּֽי־אֵינֶ֥נּוּ יֹדֵ֖עַ מַה־שֶּׁיִּֽהְיֶ֑ה כִּ֚י כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר יִֽהְיֶ֔ה מִ֖י יַגִּ֥יד לֽוֹ׃
Sebab ia tidak mengetahui apa yang akan terjadi, sebab bagaimana hal itu akan terjadi, siapakah yang dapat memberitahukannya kepadanya?
Rashi
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
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)
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“He does not” [8:7]. When the evildoer commits sins, he does not think about his end, that the Holy One will punish him. Who can advise him how to protect himself when and how the misfortune comes? When it comes, it happens in a moment.113Rashi, Ecclesiastes, 8:7.
