Ecclesiastes 3:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible

15 Whatever is happening now has happened before.
    Everything that will happen in the future has already happened.
God causes the same things to happen again and again.[a]

Are people like animals?

16 I saw something else that happens on the earth.

Judges should choose what is right,
    but instead they choose what is wicked.
They should decide what is fair,
    but they do evil things.

17 I said to myself,

‘One day, God will judge everyone,
    righteous people and wicked people.
He has chosen a time for everything.
    So there is a right time when he will judge people.’

Footnotes

  1. 3:15 God is the one who decides the right time for things to happen on the earth. We need to understand that he rules over all things. It is important to understand that God has a reason for all the things that he does. We will never understand everything that God does but we can enjoy our lives if we respect his authority.
