What advantage
hath the
doer
in that which
he is
labouring
at
?
What profit
hath he
that
worketh
in that wherein
he laboureth
?
I have seen the travail that
God hath given to the sons of man
to be humbled
by
it.
I have seen the travail ,
which
God hath given to the sons of men
to be exercised
in
it.
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 hath made every
thing
beautiful in his
time:
also he hath set
the
world
in their heart ,
so
that
no
man can
find
out the work that God maketh
from the beginning to
the 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 no good in
them ,
but
for
a
man
to rejoice ,
and to do good in
his
life .
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 enjoy
the
good of
all his labour, it 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withdrawn;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 ,
whatsoever
God doeth
, it shall
be
for
ever:
nothing can
be put
to
it
, nor
any
thing
taken
from it :
and God doeth
it,
that men
should
fear before 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
.
That which hath been is now;
and that which is to be hath already been ;
and God requireth that which is past
.
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
.
And moreover
I saw
under the sun the place of judgment ,
that
wickedness
was
there; and the place of righteousness ,
that
iniquity
was
there.
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 mine
heart, God
shall
judge
the righteous and the wicked :
for there
is
a time there
for
every purpose
and for every work.
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 in mine
heart concerning the estate
of the sons of men,
that God might manifest
them, and
that
they
might
see that they themselves are 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 that
which
befalleth
the sons of men
befalleth
beasts ;
even one thing
befalleth
them :
as the one
dieth
, so dieth
the other
; yea
, they
have
all
one
breath;
so
that
a
man hath
no
preeminence
above a
beast :
for all
is vanity.
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
unto one place ;
all
are
of
the dust, and all
turn
to
dust again
.
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 knoweth the spirit of man that goeth
upward
, and the spirit of the beast that goeth
downward
to 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?
Wherefore
I perceive
that there is nothing better ,
than that a
man should
rejoice in his own
works ;
for that
is his portion :
for who shall
bring him to see
what
shall
be
after him?
