6 For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter,

though a person may be weighed down by misery.

6 For there is a time and a way for everything, although man’s trouble lies heavy on him.

6 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

6 for there is a time and a way for everything, even when a person is in trouble.

6 Because for every matter there is a time and judgment,

Though the misery of man increases greatly.

6 There is a right time and a right way for everything,

yet people often have many troubles.

6 for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him:

6 For to every purpose there is time and manner. For the misery of man is great upon him;

6 There is a right time and a right way ⌊to act⌋ in every situation. Yet, a terrible human tragedy hangs over people.

6 For every activity there is a right time and procedure, even though man’s troubles are heavy on him.

6 For every matter has its time and way, although the troubles of mortals lie heavy upon them.

6 For there is a proper time and right procedure for every matter,

even though the trouble of man weighs heavy upon him.

6 There’s a proper time and way for people to do everything.

That’s true even though a man might be suffering greatly.
