In context

11All the things which he has made are beautiful in his time: He has also set the whole world in their heart, That man might not find out The work which God has wrought from the beginning even to the end.

12I know that there is no good in them, Except for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

— Ecclesiastes 3:13 —

14I know that whatsoever things God has done, They shall be forever: It is impossible to add to it, And it is impossible to take away from it: And God has done it, that men may fear before him.

15That which has been is now; And whatever things are appointed to be have already been; And God will seek out that which is past.
