A time to put to death and a time to make well; a time for pulling down and a time for building up;

Whatever is has been before, and what is to be is now; because God makes search for the things which are past.

So I saw that there is nothing better than for a man to have joy in his work--because that is his reward. Who will make him see what will come after him?
