Ecclesiastes 6:12

The Future Is Inscrutable To Humans

¹¹ Seeing there are things in abundance which make vanity abound, what profit hath man? ¹² For who knoweth what is good for a man throughout his life, for the number of the days of his life of vanity, seeing he will make them, like a shadow, - for who can tell a man, what shall be after him, under the sun?

On Earth

What is Good

In The Future
