To every thing there is a seasonH2165, and a timeH6256 to every purposeH2656 under the heavenH8064:
A timeH6256 to be bornH3205, and a timeH6256 to dieH4191; a timeH6256 to plantH5193, and a timeH6256 to pluck upH6131 that which is plantedH5193; {to be…: Heb. to bear}
A timeH6256 to killH2026, and a timeH6256 to healH7495; a timeH6256 to break downH6555, and a timeH6256 to build upH1129;
A timeH6256 to weepH1058, and a timeH6256 to laughH7832; a timeH6256 to mournH5594, and a timeH6256 to danceH7540;
A timeH6256 to cast awayH7993 stonesH68, and a timeH6256 to gatherH3664 stonesH68 togetherH3664; a timeH6256 to embraceH2263, and a timeH6256 to refrainH7368 from embracingH2263; {to refrain from: Heb. to be far from}
A timeH6256 to getH1245, and a timeH6256 to loseH6; a timeH6256 to keepH8104, and a timeH6256 to cast awayH7993; {get: or, seek}
A timeH6256 to rendH7167, and a timeH6256 to sewH8609; a timeH6256 to keep silenceH2814, and a timeH6256 to speakH1696;
A timeH6256 to loveH157, and a timeH6256 to hateH8130; a timeH6256 of warH4421, and a timeH6256 of peaceH7965.
What profitH3504 hath he that workethH6213 in that whereinH834 he labourethH6001?
I have seenH7200 the travailH6045, which GodH430 hath givenH5414 to the sonsH1121 of menH120 to be exercisedH6031 in it.
He hath madeH6213 every thing beautifulH3303 in his timeH6256: also he hath setH5414 the worldH5769 in their heartH3820, so thatH1097 no manH120 can find outH4672 the workH4639 that GodH430 makethH6213 from the beginningH7218 to the endH5490.
I knowH3045 that there is no goodH2896 in them, but for a man to rejoiceH8055, and to doH6213 goodH2896 in his lifeH2416.
And also that every manH120 should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and enjoyH7200 the goodH2896 of all his labourH5999, it is the giftH4991 of GodH430.
I knowH3045 that, whatsoever GodH430 doethH6213, it shall be for everH5769: nothingH369 can be putH3254 to it, nor any thing takenH1639 from it: and GodH430 doethH6213 it, that men should fearH3372 beforeH6440 him.
That which hath been is nowH3528; and that which is to be hath alreadyH3528 been; and GodH430 requirethH1245 that which is pastH7291. {that which is past: Heb. that which is driven away}
And moreover I sawH7200 under the sunH8121 the placeH4725 of judgmentH4941, that wickednessH7562 was there; and the placeH4725 of righteousnessH6664, that iniquityH7562 was there.
I saidH559 in mine heartH3820, GodH430 shall judgeH8199 the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563: for there is a timeH6256 there for every purposeH2656 and for every workH4639.
I saidH559 in mine heartH3820 concerning the estateH1700 of the sonsH1121 of menH120, that GodH430 might manifestH1305 them, and that they might seeH7200 that theyH1992 themselves are beastsH929. {that God…: or, that they might clear God, and see, etc}
For that which befallethH4745 the sonsH1121 of menH120 befallethH4745 beastsH929; even one thingH259 befallethH4745 them: as the one diethH4194, so diethH4194 the otherH2088; yea, they have all oneH259 breathH7307; so that a manH120 hath no preeminenceH4195 above a beastH929: for all is vanityH1892.
All goH1980 unto oneH259 placeH4725; all are of the dustH6083, and all turnH7725 to dustH6083 againH7725.
Who knowethH3045 the spiritH7307 of manH1121+H120 that goethH5927 upwardH4605, and the spiritH7307 of the beastH929 that goethH3381 downwardH4295 to the earthH776? {of man: Heb. of the sons of man} {goeth upward: Heb. is ascending, etc}
Wherefore I perceiveH7200 that there is nothing betterH2896, than that a manH120 should rejoiceH8055 in his own worksH4639; for that is his portionH2506: for who shall bringH935 him to seeH7200 what shall be afterH310 him?

And the timeH3117 drew nighH7126 that IsraelH3478 must dieH4191: and he calledH7121 his sonH1121 JosephH3130, and saidH559 unto him, If now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, putH7760, I pray thee, thy handH3027 under my thighH3409, and dealH6213 kindlyH2617 and trulyH571 with me; buryH6912 me not, I pray thee, in EgyptH4714:

TakeH3947 AaronH175 and EleazarH499 his sonH1121, and bring them upH5927 unto mountH2022 HorH2023:
And stripH6584 AaronH175 of his garmentsH899, and putH3847 them upon EleazarH499 his sonH1121: and AaronH175 shall be gatheredH622 unto his people, and shall dieH4191 there.

And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}

And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823: {trodden…: Heb. for a treading}

For ye rebelledH4784 against my commandmentH6310 in the desertH4057 of ZinH6790, in the strifeH4808 of the congregationH5712, to sanctifyH6942 me at the waterH4325 before their eyesH5869: that is the waterH4325 of MeribahH4809 in KadeshH6946 in the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790.

They that were fullH7649 have hired outH7936 themselves for breadH3899; and they that were hungryH7457 ceasedH2308: so that the barrenH6135 hath bornH3205 sevenH7651; and she that hath manyH7227 childrenH1121 is waxed feebleH535.
And I besoughtH2603 the LORDH3068 at that timeH6256, sayingH559,
O LordH136 GODH3069, thou hast begunH2490 to shewH7200 thy servantH5650 thy greatnessH1433, and thy mightyH2389 handH3027: for what GodH410 is there in heavenH8064 or in earthH776, that can doH6213 according to thy worksH4639, and according to thy mightH1369?
I pray thee, let me go overH5674, and seeH7200 the goodH2896 landH776 that is beyondH5676 JordanH3383, that goodlyH2896 mountainH2022, and LebanonH3844.
But the LORDH3068 was wrothH5674 with me for your sakes, and would not hearH8085 me: and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Let it sufficeH7227 thee; speakH1696 no moreH3254 unto me of this matterH1697.
At what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to pluck upH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6 it;
If that nationH1471, against whom I have pronouncedH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 unto them.
And at what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it;
If it doH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, that it obeyH8085 not my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, wherewith I saidH559 I would benefitH3190 them.
And he criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O altarH4196, altarH4196, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, a childH1121 shall be bornH3205 unto the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, JosiahH2977 by nameH8034; and upon thee shall he offerH2076 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 that burn incenseH6999 upon thee, and men'sH120 bonesH6106 shall be burntH8313 upon thee.

Thus shalt thou sayH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 saithH559 thus; Behold, that which I have builtH1129 will I break downH2040, and that which I have plantedH5193 I will pluck upH5428, even this whole landH776.
And he saidH559, About this seasonH4150, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416, thou shalt embraceH2263 a sonH1121. And she saidH559, Nay, my lordH113, thou manH376 of GodH430, do not lieH3576 unto thine handmaidH8198. {season: Heb. set time}
Is there not an appointed timeH6635 to manH582 upon earthH776? are not his daysH3117 also like the daysH3117 of an hirelingH7916? {an appointed…: or, a warfare}
He saidG5346 unto themG846, An enemyG2190+G444 hath doneG4160 thisG5124+G1161. The servantsG1401 saidG2036 unto himG846, Wilt thouG2309 thenG3767 that we goG565 and gatherG4816 themG846 upG4816?
He maketh the barren womanH6135 to keepH3427 houseH1004, and to be a joyfulH8056 motherH517 of childrenH1121. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {to keep…: Heb. to dwell in an house}
SeeingH518 his daysH3117 are determinedH2782, the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 are with thee, thou hast appointedH6213 his boundsH2706 that he cannot passH5674;
ButG1161 he saidG5346, NayG3756; lestG3379 while ye gather upG4816 the taresG2215, ye root upG1610 also the wheatG4621 withG260 themG846.
SingH7442, O barrenH6135, thou that didst not bearH3205; break forthH6476 into singingH7440, and cry aloudH6670, thou that didst not travail with childH2342: for moreH7227 are the childrenH1121 of the desolateH8074 than the childrenH1121 of the married wifeH1166, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
If a manH1397 dieH4191, shall he liveH2421 again? all the daysH3117 of my appointed timeH6635 will I waitH3176, till my changeH2487 comeH935.
The SonG5207 of manG444 shall send forthG649 hisG846 angelsG32, andG2532 they shall gatherG4816 out ofG1537 hisG846 kingdomG932 all thingsG3956 that offendG4625, andG2532 them which doG4160 iniquityG458; {things…: or, scandals}
ButG1161 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, FearG5399 notG3361, ZachariasG2197: forG1360 thyG4675 prayerG1162 is heardG1522; andG2532 thyG4675 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 shall bearG1080 theeG4671 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JohnG2491.
In those daysH3117 was HezekiahH2396 sickH2470 unto deathH4191. And IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Set thine houseH1004 in orderH6680: for thou shalt dieH4191, and not liveH2421. {Set…: Heb. Give charge concerning thy house}
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, EveryG3956 plantG5451, whichG3739 myG3450 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 hathG5452 notG3756 plantedG5452, shall be rooted upG1610.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thouG2071 shalt be dumbG4623, andG2532 notG3361 ableG1410 to speakG2980, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 these thingsG5023 shall be performedG1096, becauseG473+G3739 thou believestG4100 notG3756 myG3450 wordsG3056, whichG3748 shall be fulfilledG4137 inG1519 theirG846 seasonG2540.
GoH1980, and sayH559 to HezekiahH2396, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, I have seenH7200 thy tearsH1832: behold, I will addH3254 unto thy daysH3117 fifteenH2568+H6240 yearsH8141.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, thyG4675 cousinG4773 ElisabethG1665, sheG846 hathG4815 alsoG2532 conceivedG4815 a sonG5207 inG1722 herG846 old ageG1094: andG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the sixthG1623 monthG3376 with herG846, whoG3588 was calledG2564 barrenG4723.
ThenG3767 they soughtG2212 to takeG4084 himG846: butG2532 no manG3762 laidG1911 handsG5495 onG1909 himG846, becauseG3754 hisG846 hourG5610 wasG2064 not yetG3768 comeG2064.
A womanG1135 whenG3752 she is in travailG5088 hathG2192 sorrowG3077, becauseG3754 herG846 hourG5610 is comeG2064: butG1161 as soon asG3752 she is deliveredG1080 of the childG3813, she rememberethG3421 no moreG3765 the anguishG2347, forG1223 joyG5479 thatG3754 a manG444 is bornG1080 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
AndG2532 asG2596+G3745 it is appointedG606 unto menG444 onceG530 to dieG599, butG1161 afterG3326 thisG5124 the judgmentG2920:
ButG1161 whenG2531 the timeG5550 of the promiseG1860 drew nighG1448, whichG3739 GodG2316 had swornG3660 to AbrahamG11, the peopleG2992 grewG837 andG2532 multipliedG4129 inG1722 EgyptG125,
