Ecclesiastes 3:12
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,
In context
10 I have seen the burden that God has laid upon the sons of men to occupy them.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end.
12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,
13 and also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor—this is the gift of God.
14 I know that everything God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God does it so that they should fear Him.
