rsv Ecclesiastes:3:1-15
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @ a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @ a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
rsv@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;
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @ a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @ a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:8 @ a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @ What gain has the worker from his toil?
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the business that God has given to the sons of men to be busy with.
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He has made everything beautiful in its time; also he has put eternity into man's mind, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live;
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ also that it is God's gift to man that every one should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil.
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that whatever God does endures for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has made it so, in order that men should fear before him.
rsv@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @ That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.
