Ecclesiastes 3:12 Context
10I haue seene the trauaile which God hath giuen to the sonnes of men, to be exercised in it. 11He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also hee hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can finde out the worke that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to reioyce, and to doe good in his life. 13And also that euery man should eate and drinke, and enioy the good of all his labour: it is the gift of God. 14I know that whatsoeuer God doeth, it shalbe for euer: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doth it, that men should feare before him.
