¹To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens: ²A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; ³A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; ⁴A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; ⁵A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; ⁶A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to cast away; ⁷A time to rend, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; ⁸A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace. ⁹What profit hath he that worketh from that wherein he laboureth? ¹⁰I have seen the travail that God hath given to the sons of men to toil in.

¹¹He hath made everything beautiful in its time; also he hath set the world in their heart, so that man findeth not out from the beginning to the end the work that God doeth. ¹²I know that there is nothing good for them but to rejoice and to do well in their life; ¹³yea also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labour, it is the gift of God.
