Ecclesiastes 3:13

God’s Works Remain Forever

12I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good while they live,13and also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor—this is the gift of God.14I 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.
