31To every
thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:+2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted;+3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;+4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;+5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;+6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;+7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;+8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.+
God’s Works Remain Forever
9What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?+10I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.+11He 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.+12I know that
there is no good in them, but for
a man
to rejoice, and to do good in his life.+13And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it
is the gift of God.+14I 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.+15That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.+
From Dust to Dust
16And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment,
that
wickedness
was there; and the place of righteousness,
that iniquity
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 concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.+19For 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.+20All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.+21Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?+22Wherefore 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?+
