15 Whatever is has already been,(A)
    and what will be has been before;(B)
    and God will call the past to account.[a]

16 And I saw something else under the sun:

    in the place of justice—wickedness was there.

“God will bring into judgment(C)
    both the righteous and the wicked,
for there will be a time for every activity,
    a time to judge every deed.”(D)
