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 awaystones, and a time to gatherstonestogether ; 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.

What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
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 Godmaketh from the beginning to the end.
