Ecclesiastes 3

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

12 Ref I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live.

13 Ref And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

14 Ref I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God hath done it, that men should fear before him.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

12 Ref I have known that there is no good for them except to rejoice and to do good during their life,

13 Ref yea, even every man who eateth and hath drunk and seen good by all his labour, it `is' a gift of God.

14 Ref I have known that all that God doth is to the age, to it nothing is to be added, and from it nothing is to be withdrawn; and God hath wrought that they do fear before Him.
