Ecclesiastes 8:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ But sometimes something senseless happens on earth. Bad things happen to good people. Good things happen to bad people. This is truly senseless. ¹⁵ So I decided it was more important to enjoy life. The best that people can do here on earth is to eat, drink and enjoy life. These joys will help people do the hard work God gives them here on earth.

We Cannot Understand All God Does

¹⁶ I used my mind to learn about all that happens on earth. I saw how busy people are. They work day and night and hardly ever sleep.
