Ecclesiastes 3:15 Context
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. 15That which hath beene, is now: and that which is to be, hath alreadie beene, and God requireth that which is past. 16¶ And moreouer, I sawe vnder the Sunne the place of iudgement, that wickednesse was there; and the place of righteousnesse, that iniquitie was there. 17I said in mine heart, God shall iudge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there, for euery purpose and for euery worke.
