21:003:005 A time to cast away stones, and a time
to gather stones
together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from
embracing;
21:003:006 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time
to keep, and a time
to
cast away;
21:003:007 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time
to keep silence, and
a
time to speak;
21:003:008 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time
of war, and a time
of
peace.
21:003:009 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
21:003:010 I have seen the travail, which God hath
given to the sons of
men
to be exercised in it.
21:003:011 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.
21:003:012 I know that there is no good in them, but
for a man to
rejoice,
and to do good in his life.
21:003:013 And also that every man should eat and
drink, and enjoy the
good
of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
21:003:014 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.
21:003:015 That which hath been is now; and that which
is to be hath
already
been; and God requireth that which is past.
21:003:016 And moreover I saw under the sun the place
of judgment, that
wickedness
was there; and the place of righteousness, that
iniquity
was there.
21:003:017 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the
righteous and the
wicked:
for there is a time there for every purpose and for
every
work.
21:003:018 I said in mine heart concerning the estate
of the sons of men,
that
God might manifest them, and that they might see that
they
themselves are beasts.
21:003:019 For that which befalleth the sons of men
befalleth beasts;
even
one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so
dieth the
other;
yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no
preeminence
above a beast: for all is vanity.
21:003:020 All go unto one place; all are of the dust,
and all turn to
dust
again.
21:003:021 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth
upward, and the
spirit
of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
21:003:022 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing
better, than that a
man
should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion:
for
who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
21:004:001 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions
that are
done
under the sun: and behold the tears of such as
were
oppressed,
and they had no comforter; and on the side of their
oppressors
there was power; but they had no comforter.
