Ecclesiastes 3:3-14

³A time to slay, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to builde.

⁴A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance.

⁵A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones: a time to embrace, and a time to be farre from embracing.

⁶A time to seeke, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away.

⁷A time to rent, and a time to sowe: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake.

⁸A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace.

⁹What profite hath hee that worketh of the thing wherein he trauaileth?

¹⁰I haue seene the trauaile that God hath giuen to ye sonnes of men to humble them thereby.

¹¹He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also he hath set the worlde in their heart, yet can not man finde out the worke that God hath wrought from the beginning euen to the end.

¹²I know that there is nothing good in them, but to reioyce, and to doe good in his life.

¹³And also that euery man eateth and drinketh, and seeth the commoditie of all his labour. this is the gift of God.

¹⁴I knowe that whatsoeuer God shall doe, it shalbe for euer: to it can no man adde, and from it can none diminish: for God hath done it, that they should feare before him.
