Ecclesiastes 3:14

¹² I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,

¹³ and also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor—this is the gift of God.

I know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.

¹⁵ What exists has already been, and what will be has already been, for God will call to account what has passed.

¹⁶ Furthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.
