Ecclesiastes 3:9-15

9What profit hath he that worketh from that wherein he laboureth?

10I have seen the travail that 1God hath given to the sons of men to toil in.

11He hath made everything beautiful in its time; also he hath set the world in their heart, so that man findeth not out from the beginning to the end the work that 2God doeth.

12I know that there is nothing good for them but to rejoice and to do well in their life;

13yea also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labour, it is the gift of 3God.

14I know that whatever 4God doeth, it shall be for ever; there is nothing to be added to it, nor anything to be taken from it; and 5God doeth [it], that [men] should fear before him.

15That which is was long ago, and that which is to be hath already been; and 6God bringeth back again that which is past.
