Ecclesiastes 3 — UBES
3Verse 1To all things there is a time,
And a season for every matter under heaven.
Verse 2A time of birth, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what has been planted;
Verse 3A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to pull down, and a time to build up;
Verse 4A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to lament, and a time to dance;
Verse 5A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to abstain from embracing;
Verse 6A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Verse 7A time to rend, and a time to sew;
A time to be silent, and a time to speak;
Verse 8A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.Verse 9What advantage has he that works in those things wherein he labors?Verse 10I have seen all the trouble,
Which God has given to the sons of men to be troubled with.
Verse 11All the things which he has made are beautiful in his time:
He has also set the whole world in their heart,
That man might not find out
The work which God has wrought from the beginning even to the end.
Verse 12I know that there is no good in them,
Except for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.Verse 13Also in the case of every man who shall eat and drink,
And see good in all his labor,
This is a gift of God.
Verse 14I know that whatsoever things God has done,
They shall be forever:
It is impossible to add to it,
And it is impossible to take away from it:
And God has done it, that men may fear before him.
Verse 15That which has been is now;
And whatever things are appointed to be have already been;
And God will seek out that which is past.Verse 16And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment,
There was the ungodly one;
And the place of righteousness,
There was the godly one.
Verse 17And I said in my heart,
God will judge the righteous and the ungodly:
For there is a time there for every action
And for every work.Verse 18I said in my heart,
Concerning the speech of the sons of man,
God will judge them,
And that to show that they are beasts.
Verse 19Also to them is the event of the sons of man,
And the event of the brute;
One event befalls them:
As is the death of the one, so also the death of the other;
And there is one breath to all:
And what has the man more than the brute?
Nothing; for all is vanity.
Verse 20All go to one place;
All were formed of the dust,
And all will return to dust.
Verse 21And who has seen the spirit of the sons of man,
Whether it goes upward?
And the spirit of the beast,
Whether it goes downward to the earth?
Verse 22And I saw that there was no good,
But that wherein a man shall rejoice in his works,
For it is his portion,
For who shall bring him to see anything of that which shall be after him?
And a season for every matter under heaven.
