Ecclesiastes 3 (kjv)

To every thing there is a season^H2165, and a time^H6256 to every purpose^H2656 under the heaven^H8064:²A time^H6256 to be born^H3205, and a time^H6256 to die^H4191; a time^H6256 to plant^H5193, and a time^H6256 to pluck up^H6131 that which is planted^H5193;³A time^H6256 to kill^H2026, and a time^H6256 to heal^H7495; a time^H6256 to break down^H6555, and a time^H6256 to build up^H1129;⁴A time^H6256 to weep^H1058, and a time^H6256 to laugh^H7832; a time^H6256 to mourn^H5594, and a time^H6256 to dance^H7540;⁵A time^H6256 to cast away^H7993 stones^H68, and a time^H6256 to gather^H3664 stones^H68 together^H3664; a time^H6256 to embrace^H2263, and a time^H6256 to refrain^H7368 from embracing^H2263;⁶A time^H6256 to get^H1245, and a time^H6256 to lose^H6; a time^H6256 to keep^H8104, and a time^H6256 to cast away^H7993;⁷A time^H6256 to rend^H7167, and a time^H6256 to sew^H8609; a time^H6256 to keep silence^H2814, and a time^H6256 to speak^H1696;⁸A time^H6256 to love^H157, and a time^H6256 to hate^H8130; a time^H6256 of war^H4421, and a time^H6256 of peace^H7965.⁹What profit^H3504 hath he that worketh^H6213 in that wherein^H834 he laboureth^H6001?¹⁰I have seen^H7200 the travail^H6045, which God^H430 hath given^H5414 to the sons^H1121 of men^H120 to be exercised^H6031 in it.

¹¹He hath made^H6213 every thing beautiful^H3303 in his time^H6256: also he hath set^H5414 the world^H5769 in their heart^H3820, so that^H1097 no man^H120 can find out^H4672 the work^H4639 that God^H430 maketh^H6213 from the beginning^H7218 to the end^H5490.¹²I know^H3045 that there is no good^H2896 in them, but for a man to rejoice^H8055, and to do^H6213 good^H2896 in his life^H2416.¹³And also that every man^H120 should eat^H398 and drink^H8354, and enjoy^H7200 the good^H2896 of all his labour^H5999, it is the gift^H4991 of God^H430.¹⁴I know^H3045 that, whatsoever God^H430 doeth^H6213, it shall be for ever^H5769: nothing^H369 can be put^H3254 to it, nor any thing taken^H1639 from it: and God^H430 doeth^H6213 it, that men should fear^H3372 before^H6440 him.¹⁵That which hath been is now^H3528; and that which is to be hath already^H3528 been; and God^H430 requireth^H1245 that which is past^H7291.

¹⁶And moreover I saw^H7200 under the sun^H8121 the place^H4725 of judgment^H4941, that wickedness^H7562 was there; and the place^H4725 of righteousness^H6664, that iniquity^H7562 was there.¹⁷I said^H559 in mine heart^H3820, God^H430 shall judge^H8199 the righteous^H6662 and the wicked^H7563: for there is a time^H6256 there for every purpose^H2656 and for every work^H4639.¹⁸I said^H559 in mine heart^H3820 concerning the estate^H1700 of the sons^H1121 of men^H120, that God^H430 might manifest^H1305 them, and that they might see^H7200 that they^H1992 themselves are beasts^H929.¹⁹For that which befalleth^H4745 the sons^H1121 of men^H120 befalleth^H4745 beasts^H929; even one thing^H259 befalleth^H4745 them: as the one dieth^H4194, so dieth^H4194 the other^H2088; yea, they have all one^H259 breath^H7307; so that a man^H120 hath no preeminence^H4195 above a beast^H929: for all is vanity^H1892.²⁰All go^H1980 unto one^H259 place^H4725; all are of the dust^H6083, and all turn^H7725 to dust^H6083 again^H7725.²¹Who knoweth^H3045 the spirit^H7307 of man^{H1121 H120} that goeth^H5927 upward^H4605, and the spirit^H7307 of the beast^H929 that goeth^H3381 downward^H4295 to the earth^H776?²²Wherefore I perceive^H7200 that there is nothing better^H2896, than that a man^H120 should rejoice^H8055 in his own works^H4639; for that is his portion^H2506: for who shall bring^H935 him to see^H7200 what shall be after^H310 him?
