Ecclesiastes 3:14 in Context — Ecclesiastes 3

12 Tenho percebido que não há coisa melhor para eles do que se alegrarem e fazerem o bem em suas vidas;

13 E também que todo homem coma, beba e fique contente com todo o seu trabalho; [isto] é um presente de Deus.

14 Eu sei que tudo quanto Deus faz durará para sempre; a isso nada será acrescentado e nada será diminuído; e Deus faz [assim] para que haja temor perante sua presença.

15 O que tem sido agora, já foi antes; e o que vier a ser [também] já foi; Deus busca [de volta] o que foi passado.

16 Vi mais abaixo do sol: que no lugar do juízo havia ali perversidade; e que no lugar da justiça havia ali perversidade.
