Ecclesiastes 3:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible

14 I know that everything that God does continues for ever. Nobody can add anything to it. Nobody can take anything away from it. God does these things so that people will respect his authority.

15 Whatever is happening now has happened before.
    Everything that will happen in the future has already happened.
God causes the same things to happen again and again.[a]

Are people like animals?

16 I saw something else that happens on the earth.

Judges should choose what is right,
    but instead they choose what is wicked.
They should decide what is fair,
    but they do evil things.

Footnotes

  1. 3:15 God is the one who decides the right time for things to happen on the earth. We need to understand that he rules over all things. It is important to understand that God has a reason for all the things that he does. We will never understand everything that God does but we can enjoy our lives if we respect his authority.
