What more does a man have from his labor?
I have seen the affliction that God has given to the sons of men, in order that they may be occupied by it.
He has made all things good in their time, and he has handed over the world to their disputes, so that man may not discover the work which God made from the beginning, even until the end.
And I realize that there is nothing better than to rejoice, and to do well in this life.
For this is a gift from God: when each man eats and drinks, and sees the good results of his labor.
I have learned that all the works which God has made continue on, in perpetuity. We are not able to add anything, nor to take anything away, from those things which God has made in order that he may be feared.
What has been made, the same continues. What is in the future, has already existed. And God restores what has passed away.
