Ecc 3:1

Ecc 3:1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Ecc 3:2

Ecc 3:2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

Ecc 3:3

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

Ecc 3:4

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

Ecc 3:5

Ecc 3:5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

Ecc 3:6

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

Ecc 3:7

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

Ecc 3:8

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

Ecc 3:9

Ecc 3:9What profit hath he that worketh in that in which he laboreth?

Ecc 3:10

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

God Set Eternity in the Heart of Man

Ecc 3:11

Ecc 3:11He hath made every thing beautiful in its 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.

Ecc 3:12

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

Ecc 3:13

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

Ecc 3:14

Ecc 3:14I know that, whatever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

Ecc 3:15

Ecc 3:15That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Ecc 3:16

Ecc 3:16And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

Ecc 3:17

Ecc 3:17I 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.

Ecc 3:18

Ecc 3:18I said in my heart concerning the state of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

Ecc 3:19

Ecc 3:19For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yes, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no pre-eminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

Ecc 3:20

Ecc 3:20All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Ecc 3:21

Ecc 3:21Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

Ecc 3:22

Ecc 3:22Wherefore 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?
