1 To every thing there is a season, its time to every purpose under sky.
2 There is a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot the plants.
3 A time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build.
4 A time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance.
5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.
6 a time to seek and a time to lose,
a time to keep and a time to throw away.
7 A time to tear and a time to sew,
a time to be silent and a time to talk.
8 A time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
9 What profit hath given you to do with fatigue?
10 I considered the job that God has given to men, because they occupy in it. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time, but he has put eternity in their heart, without which men can understand the work accomplished by God from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for them to enjoy and to do good in their lives; 13 but that a man should eat, drink and enjoy his work is a gift from God 14 recognize that whatever God does is immutable, and there is nothing to add, nothing to remove. God does so because it is afraid of him. 15 What has already been, what will be, already is; God what research has already passed.
