Ecclesiastes 3:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ I saw the ·hard work [task] God has given people to ·do [keep them occupied; 1:13]. ¹¹ God has ·given them a desire to know the future [^Lplaced eternity/an awareness of time/or ignorance in their hearts]. He ·does everything just right and on time [^Lmakes everything appropriate/beautiful in its time], but people can never ·completely understand what he is doing [^Ldiscover/find the work that God does from beginning to end; ^Chumans cannot discern the “right time”]. ¹² So I ·realize [know] that ·the best thing [^Lthere is nothing better] for them is to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live.
