11. He has made everything beautiful in its appropriate time. He has also put obscurity in their hearts so that no one comes to know the work that God has done from the beginning to the end.
12. I experienced that there is nothing better for them than to be glad and do good in their life.
13. And also that everyone should eat and drink and experience good in all their labor. This is a gift of God.
14. I have perceived that everything that God has done will be lasting. And to this there is nothing to be added, and from it there is nothing to be taken away. And God has done this so that in His presence men fear Him.
15. That which is has already been,and what is to come has also already been;and God seeks out what has been driven away.
16. Moreover I saw what was under the sun: In the place of justice, there was wickedness;and in the place of righteousness, there was wickedness.
17. I thought in my heart: God will bring judgmentto the righteous and the wicked,for there is an appropriate timefor every matter and deed.
18. Then I thought in my heart: Regarding the account of sons of men, God is making clear to them to show that they are but animals.
19. For what befalls the sons of men befalls animals; as one dies, so dies the other. There is one breath for all of them; there is no advantage for man any more than animals, for all is vanity.
