Ecclesiastes 3:13 in Context — Ecclesiastes 3
11 Il fait toute chose bonne en son temps; même il a mis dans leur cœur la pensée de l’éternité, bien que l’homme ne puisse pas saisir l’œuvre que Dieu fait, du commencement jusqu’à la fin.
12 J’ai reconnu qu’il n’y a de bonheur pour eux qu’à se réjouir et à se donner du bien-être pendant leur vie;
13 mais que, si un homme mange et boit et jouit du bien-être au milieu de tout son travail, c’est là un don de Dieu.
14 J’ai reconnu que tout ce que Dieu fait durera toujours, qu’il n’y a rien à y ajouter et rien à en retrancher, et que Dieu agit ainsi afin qu’on le craigne.
15 Ce qui est a déjà été, et ce qui sera a déjà été, et Dieu ramène ce qui est passé.
