Աստվածաշնչի հայտնի հատվածներ Ecclesiastes 8-ից

Կիսվել

So I decided it was more important to enjoy life. The best that people can do here on earth is to eat, drink, and enjoy life, because these joys will help them do the hard work God gives them here on earth.

Though a sinner might do a hundred evil things and might live a long time, I know it will be better for those who honor God.

There is a right time and a right way for everything, yet people often have many troubles.

No one can control the wind or stop his own death. No soldier is released in times of war, and evil does not set free those who do evil.

When evil people are not punished right away, it makes others want to do evil, too.

Sometimes something useless happens on earth. Bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. I say that this is also useless.

They do not know what the future holds, and no one can tell them what will happen.
