Ecclesiastes 3:7-14

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

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

⁹What profit hath he that worketh from that wherein he laboureth?

¹⁰I have seen the travail that God hath given to the sons of men to toil in.

¹¹He hath made everything beautiful in its time; also he hath set the world in their heart, so that man findeth not out from the beginning to the end the work that God doeth.

¹²I know that there is nothing good for them but to rejoice and to do well in their life;

¹³yea also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labour, it is the gift of God.

¹⁴I know that whatever God doeth, it shall be for ever; there is nothing to be added to it, nor anything to be taken from it; and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
