1 To every thing there is a season 2165, and a time 6256 to every purpose 2656 under the heaven 8064:
2 A time 6256 to be born 3205, and a time 6256 to die 4191; a time 6256 to plant 5193, and a time 6256 to pluck up 6131 that which is planted 5193;
3 A time 6256 to kill 2026, and a time 6256 to heal 7495; a time 6256 to break down 6555, and a time 6256 to build up 1129;
4 A time 6256 to weep 1058, and a time 6256 to laugh 7832; a time 6256 to mourn 5594, and a time 6256 to dance 7540;
5 A time 6256 to cast away 7993 stones 68, and a time 6256 to gather 3664 0 stones 68 together 3664; a time 6256 to embrace 2263, and a time 6256 to refrain 7368 from embracing 2263;
6 A time 6256 to get 1245, and a time 6256 to lose 6; a time 6256 to keep 8104, and a time 6256 to cast away 7993;
7 A time 6256 to rend 7167, and a time 6256 to sew 8609; a time 6256 to keep silence 2814, and a time 6256 to speak 1696;
8 A time 6256 to love 157, and a time 6256 to hate 8130; a time 6256 of war 4421, and a time 6256 of peace 7965.
9 What profit 3504 hath he that worketh 6213 in that wherein 834 he laboureth 6001?
10 I have seen 7200 the travail 6045, which God 430 hath given 5414 to the sons 1121 of men 120 to be exercised 6031 in it.
11 He hath made 6213 every thing beautiful 3303 in his time 6256: also he hath set 5414 the world 5769 in their heart 3820, so that 1097 no man 120 can find out 4672 the work 4639 that God 430 maketh 6213 from the beginning 7218 to the end 5490.
12 I know 3045 that there is no good 2896 in them, but for a man to rejoice 8055, and to do 6213 good 2896 in his life 2416.
13 And also that every man 120 should eat 398 and drink 8354, and enjoy 7200 the good 2896 of all his labour 5999, it is the gift 4991 of God 430.
14 I know 3045 that, whatsoever God 430 doeth 6213, it shall be for ever 5769: nothing 369 can be put 3254 to it, nor any thing taken 1639 from it: and God 430 doeth 6213 it, that men should fear 3372 before 6440 him.
15 That which hath been is now 3528; and that which is to be hath already 3528 been; and God 430 requireth 1245 that which is past 7291.
16 And moreover I saw 7200 under the sun 8121 the place 4725 of judgment 4941, that wickedness 7562 was there; and the place 4725 of righteousness 6664, that iniquity 7562 was there.
17 I said 559 in mine heart 3820, God 430 shall judge 8199 the righteous 6662 and the wicked 7563: for there is a time 6256 there for every purpose 2656 and for every work 4639.
18 I said 559 in mine heart 3820 concerning the estate 1700 of the sons 1121 of men 120, that God 430 might manifest 1305 them, and that they might see 7200 that they 1992 themselves are beasts 929.
19 For that which befalleth 4745 the sons 1121 of men 120 befalleth 4745 beasts 929; even one thing 259 befalleth 4745 them: as the one dieth 4194, so dieth 4194 the other 2088; yea, they have all one 259 breath 7307; so that a man 120 hath no preeminence 4195 above a beast 929: for all is vanity 1892.
20 All go 1980 unto one 259 place 4725; all are of the dust 6083, and all turn 7725 0 to dust 6083 again 7725.
21 Who knoweth 3045 the spirit 7307 of man 1121 120 that goeth 5927 upward 4605, and the spirit 7307 of the beast 929 that goeth 3381 downward 4295 to the earth 776?
22 Wherefore I perceive 7200 that there is nothing better 2896, than that a man 120 should rejoice 8055 in his own works 4639; for that is his portion 2506: for who shall bring 935 him to see 7200 what shall be after 310 him?
