To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:

Read word by wordI have seen the burden that God has laid upon the sons of men to occupy them.
Read word by wordI know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,
Read word by wordI 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.

Read word by wordI said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
Read word by wordFor the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.

Read word by wordThere is a man all alone, without even a son or brother. And though there is no end to his labor, his eyes are still not content with his wealth: “For whom do I toil and bereave my soul of enjoyment?” This too is futile—a miserable task.
Read word by wordTwo are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.
Read word by wordFor if one falls down, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to help him up!

Read word by wordThere is no limit to all the people who were before them. Yet the successor will not be celebrated by those who come even later. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

Read word by wordSource alternate reference: 5.3

Furthermore, God has given riches and wealth to every man, and He has enabled him to enjoy them, to accept his lot, and to rejoice in his labor. This is a gift from God.
