9 What profit does the one that works have in that in which he labours? 10 I have seen the travail which God has given to the sons of men that they may be occupied in it. 11 He has made every thing beautiful in his time: even the world he has given over to their will, in such a way that no man can attain to this work that God makes from the beginning to the end. 12 I have learned that there is nothing better for them, but to rejoice and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labour; it is the gift of God.
14 I have understood that whatever God does, it shall be for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it because God does it that men should fear before him. 15 That which has been is now, and that which is to be has already been and God shall seek that which is past.
