No One Understands God's Mysterious Plan

13 Though indeed, that any man should eat and drink, and see blessedness, in all his toil, it is, the gift of God. 14 I know, that, whatsoever God doeth, the same, shall be age-abiding, unto it, there is nothing to add, and, from it, there is nothing to take away, - and, God, hath done it, that men should stand in awe before him. 15 That which was, already, had been, and, that which shall be, already, shall have been, - but, God, seeketh that which hath been chased away.
