2A time of birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what has been planted;
3a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to pull down, and a time to build up;
4a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to lament, and a time to dance;
5a time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to abstain from embracing;
6a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak;
8a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9What advantage has he that works in those things wherein he labours?
10I have seen all the trouble, which God has given to the sons of men to be troubled with.
11All the things which he has made are beautiful in his time: he has also set the whole world in their heart, that man might not find out the work which God has wrought from the beginning even to the end.
12I know that there is no good in them, except for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13Also in the case of every man who shall eat and drink, and see good in all his labour, this is a gift of God.
14I know that whatsoever things God has done, they shall be for ever: it is impossible to add to it, and it is impossible to take away from it: and God has done it, that men may fear before him.
15That which has been is now; and whatever things are appointed to be have already been; and God will seek out that which is past.
16And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, there was the ungodly one; and the place of righteousness, there was the godly one.
