Ecclesiastes 3:16-18

Contemporary English Version

The Future Is Known Only to God

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.
