Ecclesiastes 3:11-14

NLT

NIV

11 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
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 concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.
12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.
13 And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God.
13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.
14 And I know that whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God’s purpose is that people should fear 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.
