9What profit has the worker in the work which he does?
10I saw the work which God has put on the sons of man.
11He has made everything right in its time; but he has made their hearts without knowledge, so that man is unable to see the works of God, from the first to the last.
12I am certain that there is nothing better for a man than to be glad, and to do good while life is in him.
13And for every man to take food and drink, and have joy in all his work, is a reward from God.
14I am certain that whatever God does will be for ever. No addition may be made to it, nothing may be taken from it; and God has done it so that man may be in fear before him.
15Whatever is has been before, and what is to be is now; because God makes search for the things which are past.
