Ecclesiastes 3




jps@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @ A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @ A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @ A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @ A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:8 @ A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @ What profit hath he that worketh in that he laboureth?

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the task which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He hath made every thing beautiful in its time; also He hath set the world in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to get pleasure so long as they live.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ But also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy pleasure for all his labour, is the gift of God.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it; and God hath so made it, that men should fear before Him.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @ That which is hath been long ago, and that which is to be hath already been; and God seeketh that which is pursued.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart: 'The righteous and the wicked God will judge; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.'

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @ I said in my heart: 'It is because of the sons of men, that God may sift them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.'

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ 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 man hath no pre-eminence above a beast; for all is vanity.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @ All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all return to dust.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knoweth the spirit of man whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast whether it goeth downward to the earth?

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ Wherefore I perceived that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion; for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
