Ecclesiastes 3:11-15

11He has 1made everything 2appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, 3yet so that man 4will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.

12I know that there is 5nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime; 13moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor--it is the 6gift of God. 14I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should 78fear Him. 15That 9which is has been already and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by.
