Ecclesiastes 3:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ I learned that anything God does will continue forever. People cannot add anything to the work of God, and they cannot take anything away from it. God did this so that people would respect him. ¹⁵ What happened in the past has happened, and what will happen in the future will happen. But God wants to help those who have been treated badly.^[a]

¹⁶ I also saw these things in this life^[b]: I saw that the courts should be filled with goodness and fairness, but there is evil there now.
