| Ecclesiastes 3:1 | For everything there is a season, and a time for very purpose under heaven: | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:2 | a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:3 | a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:4 | a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:5 | a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:6 | a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:7 | a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:8 | a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:9 | What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth? | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:10 | I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:11 | He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:12 | I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:13 | And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:14 | I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God hath done it, that men should fear before him. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:15 | That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:16 | And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:17 | I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:18 | I said in my 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:19 | 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; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:20 | All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:21 | Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goeth downward to the earth? | |||||||||||||||
| Ecclesiastes 3:22 | Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him [back] to see what shall be after him? | |||||||||||||||
