Ecclesiastes - Chapter: 3


3:1	To euery thing there is a season, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen.
3:2	A time to be borne, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to pluck vp that which is planted.
3:3	A time to kill, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to build vp.
3:4	A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance.
3:5	A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together: a time to imbrace, and a time to refraine from imbracing.
3:6	A time to get, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away.
3:7	A time to rent, and a time to sow: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake.
3:8	A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace.
3:9	What profite hath hee that worketh, in that wherein he laboureth?
3:10	I haue seene the trauaile which God hath giuen to the sonnes of men, to be exercised in it.
3:11	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.
3:12	I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to reioyce, and to doe good in his life.
3:13	And also that euery man should eate and drinke, and enioy the good of all his labour: it is the gift of God.
3:14	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.
3:15	That which hath beene, is now: and that which is to be, hath alreadie beene, and God requireth that which is past.
3:16	And moreouer, I sawe vnder the Sunne the place of iudgement, that wickednesse was there; and the place of righteousnesse, that iniquitie was there.
3:17	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.
3:18	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.
3:19	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.
3:20	All goe vnto one place, all are of the dust, and all turne to dust againe.
3:21	Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth vpward; and the spirit of the beast that goeth downeward to the earth?
3:22	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?


3:1	Euery thyng hath a tyme, yea all that is vnder the heaue hath his conuenient season
3:2	There is a tyme to be borne, and a tyme to dye: there is a tyme to plant, and a tyme to plucke vp the thyng that is planted
3:3	A tyme to slay, and a tyme to make whole: a tyme to breake downe, and a tyme to builde vp
3:4	A tyme to weepe, and a tyme to laugh: a tyme to mourne, & a tyme to daunce
3:5	A tyme to cast away stones, and a tyme to gather stones together: A tyme to imbrace, and a tyme to refrayne from imbracyng
3:6	A tyme to wynne, and a tyme to lose: A tyme to spare, and a tyme to spende
3:7	A tyme to cut in peeces, and a tyme to sowe together: A tyme to kepe scilence, and a tyme to speake
3:8	A tyme to loue, and a tyme to hate: A tyme of warre, and a tyme of peace
3:9	What hath a man els that doth any thyng, but weerinesse and labour
3:10	For as touchyng the trauayle and carefulnesse which God hath geuen vnto men, I see that he hath geuen it them to be exercised in it
3:11	All this hath he ordeyned marueilous goodly, to euery thyng his due tyme: He hath planted ignoraunce also in the heartes of men, that they shoulde not comprehende the ground of his workes which he doth from the begynnyng to the ende
3:12	So I perceaued that in those thinges there is nothyng better for a man then to be mery, and to do well as long as he lyueth
3:13	For all that a man eateth & drynketh, yea whatsoeuer a man enioyeth of all his labour: that same is a gyft of God
3:14	I considered also that whatsoeuer God doth, it continueth for euer: And that nothyng can be put vnto it, nor taken from it, & that God doth it to the intent that men shoulde feare hym
3:15	The thyng that hath ben, is nowe: and the thyng that is for to come, hath ben afore time: for God restoreth againe the thyng that was past
3:16	Moreouer, I sawe vnder the sunne vngodlynes in the steade of iudgement, & iniquitie in steade of righteousnesse
3:17	Then thought I in my mynde, God shall separate the ryghteous from the vngodly: and then shalbe the tyme and iudgement of all counsayles & workes
3:18	I communed with myne owne heart also concernyng the children of men, howe God hath chosen them, and yet letteth them appeare as though they were beastes
3:19	For it happeneth vnto men as it doth vnto beastes, euen one condition vnto them both: as the one dyeth so dyeth the other, yea they haue both one maner of breath: so that in this a man hath no preeminence aboue a beast, but are all subdued vnto vanitie
3:20	They go all vnto one place: for as they be all of dust, so shall they all turne vnto dust agayne
3:21	Who knoweth the spirite of man that goeth vpwarde, & the breath of the beast that goeth downe to the earth
3:22	Wherfore I perceaue that there is nothyng better for a man then to be ioyfull in his labour, for that is his portion: But who wyll bryng hym to see the thyng that shall come after hym


3:1	To all things there is an appointed time, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen.
3:2	A time to bee borne, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to plucke vp that which is planted.
3:3	A time to slay, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to builde.
3:4	A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance.
3:5	A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones: a time to embrace, and a time to be farre from embracing.
3:6	A time to seeke, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away.
3:7	A time to rent, and a time to sowe: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake.
3:8	A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace.
3:9	What profite hath hee that worketh of the thing wherein he trauaileth?
3:10	I haue seene the trauaile that God hath giuen to ye sonnes of men to humble them thereby.
3:11	He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also he hath set the worlde in their heart, yet can not man finde out the worke that God hath wrought from the beginning euen to the end.
3:12	I know that there is nothing good in them, but to reioyce, and to doe good in his life.
3:13	And also that euery man eateth and drinketh, and seeth the commoditie of all his labour. this is the gift of God.
3:14	I knowe that whatsoeuer God shall doe, it shalbe for euer: to it can no man adde, and from it can none diminish: for God hath done it, that they should feare before him.
3:15	What is that that hath bene? that is nowe: and that that shalbe, hath now bene: for God requireth that which is past.
3:16	And moreouer I haue seene vnder the sunne the place of iudgement, where was wickednesse, and the place of iustice where was iniquitie.
3:17	I thought in mine heart, God wil iudge the iust and the wicked: for time is there for euery purpose and for euery worke.
3:18	I considered in mine heart the state of the children of men that God had purged them: yet to see to, they are in themselues as beastes.
3:19	For the condition of the children of men, and the condition of beasts are euen as one condition vnto them. As the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: for they haue all one breath, and there is no excellency of man aboue ye beast: for all is vanitie.
3:20	All goe to one place, and all was of the dust, and all shall returne to the dust.
3:21	Who knoweth whether the spirit of man ascend vpward, and the spirit of the beast descend downeward to the earth?
3:22	Therefore I see that there is nothing better then that a man shoulde reioyce in his affaires, because that is his portion. For who shall bring him to see what shalbe after him?
