^9 (A)What benefit is there for the worker from that in which he labors? ¹⁰ I have seen the ^(B)task which God has given the sons of mankind with which to ^[a]occupy themselves.

God Set Eternity in the Heart of Mankind

¹¹ He has ^(C)made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without the possibility that mankind ^(D)will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.

¹² I know that there is ^(E)nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime; ¹³ moreover, that every person who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor—this is the ^(F)gift of God. ¹⁴ I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it. And God has so worked, that people will ^[b](G)fear Him.

²³ And they also, ^(A)if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.

¹¹ For we hear that some among you are ^(A)leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like ^(B)busybodies.
