[1]To every thing there is a seasonH2165, and a timeH6256 to every purposeH2656 under the heavenH8064:
[2]A timeH6256 to be bornH3205[H8800], and a timeH6256 to dieH4191[H8800]; a timeH6256 to plantH5193[H8800], and a timeH6256 to pluck upH6131[H8800] H5193that which is plantedH8803
[3]A timeH6256 to killH2026[H8800], and a timeH6256 to healH7495[H8800]; a timeH6256 to break downH6555[H8800], and a timeH6256 H1129to build upH8800
[4]A timeH6256 to weepH1058[H8800], and a timeH6256 to laughH7832[H8800]; a timeH6256 to mournH5594[H8800], and a timeH6256 H7540to danceH8800
[5]A timeH6256 to cast awayH7993[H8687] stonesH68, and a timeH6256 to gatherH3664 stonesH68 togetherH3664[H8800]; a timeH6256 to embraceH2263[H8800], and a timeH6256 to refrainH7368[H8800] H2263from embracingH8763
[6]A timeH6256 to getH1245[H8763], and a timeH6256 to loseH6[H8763]; a timeH6256 to keepH8104[H8800], and a timeH6256 H7993to cast awayH8687
[7]A timeH6256 to rendH7167[H8800], and a timeH6256 to sewH8609[H8800]; a timeH6256 to keep silenceH2814[H8800], and a timeH6256 H1696to speakH8763
[8]A timeH6256 to loveH157[H8800], and a timeH6256 to hateH8130[H8800]; a timeH6256 of warH4421, and a timeH6256 of peaceH7965.
[9]What profitH3504 hath he that workethH6213[H8802] in that whereinH834 he labourethH6001?
[10]I have seenH7200[H8804] the travailH6045, which GodH430 hath givenH5414[H8804] to the sonsH1121 of menH120 to be exercisedH6031 in itH8800.
[11]He hath madeH6213[H8804] every thing beautifulH3303 in his timeH6256: also he hath setH5414[H8804] the worldH5769 in their heartH3820, so thatH1097 no manH120 can find outH4672[H8799] the workH4639 that GodH430 makethH6213[H8804] from the beginningH7218 to the endH5490.
[12]I knowH3045[H8804] that there is no goodH2896 in them, but for a man to rejoiceH8055[H8800], and to doH6213[H8800] goodH2896 in his lifeH2416.
[13]And also that every manH120 should eatH398[H8799] and drinkH8354[H8804], and enjoyH7200[H8804] the goodH2896 of all his labourH5999, it is the giftH4991 of GodH430.
[14]I knowH3045[H8804] that, whatsoever GodH430 doethH6213[H8799], it shall be for everH5769: nothingH369 can be putH3254[H8687] to it, nor any thing takenH1639[H8800] from it: and GodH430 doethH6213[H8804] it, that men should fearH3372[H8799] before himH6440.
[15]That which hath been is nowH3528; and that which is to be hath alreadyH3528 been; and GodH430 requirethH1245[H8762] that which is pastH7291.[H8737]
[16]And moreover I sawH7200[H8804] under the sunH8121 the placeH4725 of judgmentH4941, that wickednessH7562 was there; and the placeH4725 of righteousnessH6664, that iniquity was thereH7562.
[17]I saidH559[H8804] in mine heartH3820, GodH430 shall judgeH8199[H8799] the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563: for there is a timeH6256 there for every purposeH2656 and for every workH4639.
[18]I saidH559[H8804] in mine heartH3820 concerning the estateH1700 of the sonsH1121 of menH120, that GodH430 might manifestH1305[H8800] them, and that they might seeH7200[H8800] that theyH1992 themselves are beastsH929.
[19]For that which befallethH4745 the sonsH1121 of menH120 befallethH4745 beastsH929; even one thingH259 befallethH4745 them: as the one diethH4194, so diethH4194 the otherH2088; yea, they have all oneH259 breathH7307; so that a manH120 hath no preeminenceH4195 above a beastH929: for all is vanityH1892.
[20]All goH1980[H8802] unto oneH259 placeH4725; all are of the dustH6083, and all turnH7725 to dustH6083 againH7725.[H8804]
[21]Who knowethH3045[H8802] the spiritH7307 of manH1121[H120] that goethH5927[H8802] upwardH4605, and the spiritH7307 of the beastH929 that goethH3381[H8802] downwardH4295 to the earthH776?
[22]Wherefore I perceiveH7200[H8804] that there is nothing betterH2896, than that a manH120 should rejoiceH8055[H8799] in his own worksH4639; for that is his portionH2506: for who shall bringH935[H8686] him to seeH7200[H8800] what shall be after himH310?
