Ecclesiastes 3:11-14

GNT

NIV

11 He has set the right time for everything. He has given us a desire to know the future, but never gives us the satisfaction of fully understanding what he does.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
12 So I realized that all we can do is be happy and do the best we can while we are still alive.
12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.
13 All of us should eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked for. It is God's gift.
13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.
14 I know that everything God does will last forever. You can't add anything to it or take anything away from it. And one thing God does is to make us stand in awe of him.
14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
