Ecclesiastes 3:11-14

Revised Standard Version w/ Apocrypha RSVA

11 He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man's mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live;

13 also that it is God's gift to man that every one should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil.

14 I know that whatever God does endures for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has made it so, in order that men should fear before him.
