Book 21 : ECCLESIASTES - Chapter 003
003:001
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a
time to pluck up that which is planted
003:002
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and
a time to build up
003:003
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a
time to dance
003:004
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones
together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from
embracing
003:005
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time
to cast away
003:006
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and
a time to speak
003:007
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time
of peace
003:008
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth
003:009
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of
men to be exercised in it
003:010
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
003:011
I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to
rejoice, and to do good in his life
003:012
And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the
good of all his labour, it is the gift of God
003:013
I 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
003:014
That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath
already been; and God requireth that which is past
003:015
And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that
wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that
iniquity was there
003:016
I 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
003:017
I 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
003:018
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; so that a man hath no
preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity
003:019
All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to
dust again
003:020
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the
spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth
003:021
Wherefore 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
