Ecclesiastes 3:9-13 God's Word Translation (GW)

9. What do working people gain from their hard labor?

10. I have seen mortals weighed down with a burden that God has placed on them.

11. It is beautiful how God has done everything at the right time. He has put a sense of eternity in people’s minds. Yet, mortals still can’t grasp what God is doing from the beginning to the end ⌊of time⌋.

12. I realize that there’s nothing better for them to do than to be cheerful and enjoy what is good in their lives.

13. It is a gift from God to be able to eat and drink and experience the good that comes from every kind of hard work.
