To every thing there is a season,
and a time
to every purpose
under the heaven:
A time
to be born,
and a time
to die;
a time
to plant,
and a time
to pluck up
that which is planted;
A time
to kill,
and a time
to heal;
a time
to break down,
and a time
to build up;
A time
to weep,
and a time
to laugh;
a time
to mourn,
and a time
to dance;
A time
to cast away
stones,
and a time
to gather
stones
together;
a time
to embrace,
and a time
to refrain
from embracing;
A time
to get,
and a time
to lose;
a time
to keep,
and a time
to cast away;
A time
to rend,
and a time
to sew;
a time
to keep silence,
and a time
to speak;
A time
to love,
and a time
to hate;
a time
of war,
and a time
of peace.
What profit
hath he that worketh
in that wherein
he laboureth?
I have seen
the travail,
which God
hath given
to the sons
of men
to be exercised
in it.
He hath made
every thing beautiful
in his time:
also he hath set
the world
in their heart,
so that
no man
can find out
the work
that God
maketh
from the beginning
to the end.
I know
that there is no good
in them, but for a man to rejoice,
and to do
good
in his life.
And also that every man
should eat
and drink,
and enjoy
the good
of all his labour,
it is the gift
of God.
I know
that, whatsoever God
doeth,
it shall be for ever:
nothing
can be put
to it, nor any thing taken
from it: and God
doeth
it, that men should fear
before
him.
That which hath been is now;
and that which is to be hath already
been; and God
requireth
that which is past.
And moreover I saw
under the sun
the place
of judgment,
that wickedness
was there; and the place
of righteousness,
that iniquity
was there.
I 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.
I said
in mine heart
concerning the estate
of the sons
of men,
that God
might manifest
them, and that they might see
that they
themselves are beasts.
say
For that which befalleth
the sons
of men
befalleth
beasts;
even one thing
befalleth
them: as the one dieth,
so dieth
the other;
yea, they have all one
breath;
so that a man
hath no preeminence
above a beast:
for all is vanity.

All go
unto one
place;
all are of the dust,
and all turn
to dust
again.
Who knoweth
the spirit
of man
that goeth
upward,
and the spirit
of the beast
that goeth
downward
to the earth?
Wherefore I perceive
that there is nothing better,
than that a man
should rejoice
in his own works;
for that is his portion:
for who shall bring
him to see
what shall be after
him?
