Ecclesiastes 3:1-13

Ec 3:1 ¶ To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Ec 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;

Ec 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

Ec 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

Ec 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;

Ec 3:6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

Ec 3:7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

Ec 3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ec 3:9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

Ec 3:10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

Ec 3:11 ¶ 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.

Ec 3:12 I know that [there is] no good in them, but for [a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

Ec 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it [is] the gift of God.
