Ecclesiastes 3:12-15

New American Standard Bible

¹² I know that there is ^(A)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 ^(B)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 ^[a](C)fear Him. ^15 (D)That which is, is what has already been, and that which will be has already been; and God ^[b]seeks what has passed by.
