What advantage
hath
the doer
in
that
which
he
is
labouring
at
?
What does
the worker
gain
from
his
toil
?
I have seen the travail
that God hath
given
to
the sons of man
to be
humbled
by
it
.
I have seen the burden
that God has
laid
upon
the sons of men
to occupy
them
.
The
whole
He hath
made beautiful in its season;
also,
that
knowledge
He hath
put
in their
heart
without
which
man
findeth
not
out
the work that God hath
done from the
beginning even
unto
the
end.
He has
made everything
beautiful in its time.
He has
also
set
eternity
in the hearts
of
men,
yet
they
cannot
fathom
the
work that God has
done from beginning to
end.
I have
known
that there is no
good
for them except
to rejoice and to
do good during
their
life
,
I know
that there is nothing
better
for them than
to rejoice and do good while
they
live
,
yea,
even
every man who
eateth
and hath
drunk
and seen
good
by
all his labour,
it
`
is '
a
gift of God.
and
also
that
every man should
eat
and drink
and find
satisfaction
in
all his labor—this
is the
gift of God.
I have
known
that
all
that God doth
is
to
the
age,
to
it
nothing is
to
be added ,
and
from it nothing
is
to
be
withdrawn;
and
God hath
wrought
that they do
fear before
Him.
I know
that everything
God does
endures
forever;
nothing can
be added to
it
or
taken
from it .
God does
it
so
that they should
fear Him.
What is
that
which
hath
been?
already it
is
, and that
which
`is'
to
be hath
already been, and
God requireth
that
which
is
pursued
.
What exists
has
already been
, and what
will
be has
already been, for
God will
call
to
account
what
has
passed
.
And
again
, I have
seen
under the sun the place of judgment --
there `
is '
the
wicked;
and the place of righteousness --
there `
is '
the
wicked
.
Furthermore
, I saw
under the sun that
in
the place of judgment there is wickedness,
and in
the place of righteousness there is wickedness
.
I said in my heart, `
The righteous and the wicked doth
God
judge
, for
a time `is'
to
every matter
and for
every work
there
. '
I said in my heart, “God
will
judge
the righteous and the wicked, since
there
is
a time for
every activity
and every deed
. ”
I said in
my
heart
concerning
the
matter
of
the sons of man
that
God might
cleanse
them ,
so as
to
see
that they themselves `
are '
beasts.
I said to
myself,
“As
for
the sons of men,
God tests
them so that they may
see
for
themselves that
they
are but
beasts. ”
For an
event
`is
to'
the sons
of man,
and an
event
`is
to'
the
beasts ,
even
one
event
`is'
to
them;
as
the death
of
this
, so `is'
the death
of
that;
and
one
spirit
`is'
to
all ,
and
the advantage
of
man above
the beast
is
nothing
, for
the
whole
`
is '
vanity
.
For the fates
of both
men
and beasts are
the same:
As
one
dies
, so dies
the other—they
all have
the same
breath.
Man has
no
advantage
over
the animals
, since
everything
is futile
.
The
whole
are
going
unto
one place ,
the
whole
have
been
from the
dust, and the
whole
are
turning
back
unto
the
dust.
All
go
to
one place ;
all
come
from dust, and all
return
to
dust.
Who knoweth
the spirit of the
sons
of
man that
is
going
up
on
high,
and the spirit of the beast
that
is
going
down
below
to
the earth?
Who knows
if
the spirit of man rises
upward
and the spirit of the animal
descends
into
the earth?
And
I have seen that there is nothing better than
that
man rejoice
in
his works
, for
it
`
is '
his portion;
for who doth
bring him in
to look
on
that
which
is
after him?
I have seen that there is nothing better for
a
man than
to
enjoy
his work
, because
that
is his lot.
For who can
bring him to see
what
will
come
after him?
