Jaa

So I commended enjoyment because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat, drink, and enjoy himself,  for this will accompany him in his labor during the days of his life that God gives him under the sun.

Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life,  I also know that it will go well with God-fearing people,  for they are reverent before him.

For every activity there is a right time and procedure,  even though a person’s troubles are heavy on him.

No one has authority over the wind  to restrain it,  and there is no authority over the day of death;  no one is discharged during battle, and wickedness will not allow those who practice it to escape.

Because the sentence against an evil act is not carried out quickly,  the heart of people is filled with the desire to commit evil.

There is a futility that is done on the earth: there are righteous people who get what the actions of the wicked deserve,  and there are wicked people who get what the actions of the righteous deserve.  I say that this too is futile.

Yet no one knows what will happen  because who can tell him what will happen?
