ECCLESIASTES 3:15-18

¹⁵That which is hath been already; and that which is to be hath already been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away.

¹⁶And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

¹⁷I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

¹⁸I said in mine heart, It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.
