Ecclesiastes 3:1-10

1To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens:

2A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up;

4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain 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 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 1God hath given to the sons of men to toil in.
