Ecclesiastes 3:12-14
Lexham English Bible
12 So I realized that there is nothing better[a] for them than to rejoice and enjoy themselves[b] during their lives. 13 And for anyone to eat and drink, that is, to enjoy the fruit of all his toil,[c] this also is a gift of God.
14 I know everything God does endures forever;
nothing can be added to it, and nothing can be taken from it,
for God so acts that humans[d] might stand in awe before him.
