"And I said in my heart: “God will judge the just and the impious, and then the time for each matter shall be.” "
— Ecclesiastes 3:17, Catholic Public Domain Version
“I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”
“I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. ”
“I said in my heart, "God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."”
“I thought to myself,“God will judge both the righteous and the wicked; for there is an appropriate time for every activity, and there is a time of judgment for every deed.”
“And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing.”
“I said in my heart, God will be judge of the good and of the bad; because a time for every purpose and for every work has been fixed by him.”
“I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”
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.
I saw under the sun: instead of judgment, impiety, and instead of justice, iniquity.
And I said in my heart: “God will judge the just and the impious, and then the time for each matter shall be.”
I said in my heart, about the sons of men, that God would test them, and reveal them to be like wild animals.
For this reason, the passing away of man and of beasts is one, and the condition of both is equal. For as a man dies, so also do they die. All things breathe similarly, and man has nothing more than beast; for all these are subject to vanity.
And all things continue on to one place; for from the earth they were made, and unto the earth they shall return together.
