ECCLESIASTES 12:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”
The closing statement that God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing (whether good or evil), asserts that God's justice ultimately encompasses all actions despite the apparent injustice observable in the present world. The final appeal to divine judgment defers resolution of theodicy to God's ultimate tribunal. This verse concludes Ecclesiastes with affirmation of final accountability before God, the only certain promise offered amidst life's vanity.
