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	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?


3:1	Euery thinge hath a tyme, yee all that is vnder the heauen, hath his conuenient season.
3:2	There is a tyme to be borne, and a tyme to dye. There is a tyme to plante and a tyme to pleke vp the thing, that is planted.
3:3	A time to slaye, and a time to make whole. A tyme to breake downe, & a tyme to build vp.
3:4	A tyme to wepe, and a tyme to laugh: A tyme to mourne, and a tyme to daunse.
3:5	A time to cast awaye stones, and a tyme to gather stones together. A tyme to embrace, and a tyme to refrayne from embracing.
3:6	A tyme to wynne, and a tyme to lese. A tyme to spare, and a tyme to spende.
3:7	A tyme to cut in peces, and a tyme to sowe together.
3:8	A tyme to loue, and a tyme to hate.
3:9	What hath a man els (that doth any thing) but werynesse & labour?
3:10	For as touchinge the trauayle and carefulnesse whych God hath geuen vnto men, I se that he hath geuen it them, to be excercised in it.
3:11	All thys hath he ordened maruelous goodly, to euery thing his due tyme. He hath planted ignoraunce also in the hertes of men, that they shuld not comprehende the ground of hys worckes, which he doth from the begynning to the ende.
3:12	So I perceaued, that in these thinges there is nothing better for a man, then to be mery and to do well so longe as he lyueth.
3:13	For all that a man eateth & dryncketh, yee whatsoeuer a man enioyeth of all his labour, that same is a gyfte of God.
3:14	I consydered also that whatsoeuer God doth, it continueth for euer and that nothing can be put vnto it, nor taken from it, and that God doth it to the intent, that men shuld feare hym.
3:15	The thing that hath bene is nowe: and the thyng that is for to come, hath bene afore time, for God restoreth agayne the thynge that was past
3:16	Moreouer, I sawe vnder the Sunne vngodlynesse in the steade of iudgement, and iniquyte in steade of ryghteousnesse.
3:17	Then thought I in my minde: God shal separate the ryghteous from the vngodly, and then shalbe the tyme and iudgement of all councels and worckes.
3:18	I commened with myne awne hert also, concernynge the children of men: how God hath chosen them, & yet letteth them apeare: as though they were beastes:
3:19	for it happeneth vnto men as it doth vnto beastes, and as the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: yee they haue both one maner of breth: so that (in this) a man hath no preemynence aboue a beast, but all are subdued vnto vanytie.
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 sprete of man that goeth vpwarde, and the breth of the beast that goeth downe into the earth?
3:22	Wherfore I perceaue, that there is nothing better for a man, then to be ioyfull in hys laboure, for that is hys porcyon. But who wyll brynge him to se the thinge that shall come after hym?
