Ecclesiastes 3
0 1 By the necessary change of times, vanitie is added to humane trauaile. 11 There is an excellencie in Gods workes: 16 But as for man, God shall iudge his workes there, and here he shalbe like a beast. III ¶ To euery thing there is a season, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen. 2 [fn]A time to be borne, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to pluck vp that which is planted. 3 A time to kill, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to build vp. 4 A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance. 5 [fn]A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together: a time to imbrace, and a time to refraine from imbracing. 6 [fn]A time to get, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away. 7 A time to rent, and a time to sow: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake. 8 A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace. 9 [fn]What profite hath hee that worketh, in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I haue seene the trauaile which God hath giuen to the sonnes of men, to be exercised in it. 11 He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also hee hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can finde out the worke that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to reioyce, and to doe good in his life. 13 And also that euery man should eate and drinke, and enioy the good of all his labour: it is the gift of God. 14 I know that whatsoeuer God doeth, it shalbe for euer: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doth it, that men should feare before him. 15 [fn][fn]That which hath beene, is now: and that which is to be, hath alreadie beene, and God requireth that which is past. 16 ¶ And moreouer, I sawe vnder the Sunne the place of iudgement, that wickednesse was there; and the place of righteousnesse, that iniquitie was there. 17 [fn]I said in mine heart, God shall iudge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there, for euery purpose and for euery worke. 18 [fn]I said in my heart concerning the estate of the sonnes of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselues are beasts. 19 [fn]For that which befalleth the sonnes of men, befalleth beastes, euen one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea they haue all one breath, so that a man hath no preheminence aboue a beast; for all is vanitie. 20 All goe vnto one place, all are of the dust, and all turne to dust againe. 21 [fn][fn]Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth vpward; and the spirit of the beast that goeth downeward to the earth? 22 [fn]Wherefore I perceiue that there is nothing better, then that a man should reioyce in his owne workes: for that is his portion; for who shall bring him to see what shalbe after him?
