1.There is a time for everything, And a season for every activity under heaven. 2. A time to be born, And a time to die, A time to plant and a time to uproot. 3. A time to kill and a time to heal, A time to tear down and a time to build; 4. A time to weep and a time to laugh, A time to mourn and a time to rejoice. 5. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, A time to embrace and a time to refrain. 6. A time to search and a time to give up, A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7. A time to tear and a time to mend, A time to be silent and a time to speak. 8. A time to love and a time to hate, A time for war and a time for peace 9. What does the work gain from his toil? 10. I have seen the burden God has laid on man. 11. He has made everything beautiful in its time, He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; Yet they can't fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12. I know that there is nothing better for men, Then to be happy and do good while they live. 13. That everyone may eat and drink, And find satisfacition in all his toil; This is the gift of God. 14. I know everything God does will endure forever; Nothing taken from it. God does it so men will revere him. Ecclesiastes 3:1-14 |
