14. I know that whatever Elohim does is forever. There is no adding to it, and there is no taking from it. Elohim does it, that men should fear before Him.
15. Whatever is has already been, and what shall be has been before. But Elohim seeks out what has been pursued.
16. Then again I saw under the sun: In the place of right-ruling, wrongness was there. And in the place of righteousness, wrongness was there.
17. I said in my heart, “Elohim judges the righteous and the wrong, for there is a time for every matter and for every work.”
18. I said in my heart, “Concerning the matter of the sons of men, Elohim selects them, so as to see that they themselves are beasts.”
