"A Time for Everything Under Heaven"
(Ecclesiastes- link to the entire book)
1
To
every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under
the heaven:
2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant,
and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break
down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn,
and a time to dance;
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather
stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and
a time to cast away;
7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep
silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and
a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he
laboreth?
10 ¶ I have seen the travail, which God hath given to
the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 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.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for
a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and
enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.
14 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.
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be
hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.....
