12 I know the best thing we can do is to always enjoy life,
13 because God's gift to us is the happiness we get from our food and drink and from the work we do.
14 Everything God has done will last forever; nothing he does can ever be changed. God has done all this, so that we will worship him.
15 Everything that happenshas happened before,and all that will behas already been—God does everythingover and over again.
16 Everywhere on earth I saw violence and injustice instead of fairness and justice.
17 So I told myself that God has set a time and a place for everything. He will judge everyone, both the wicked and the good.
18 I know God is testing us to show us that we are merely animals.
