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 ReubenH7205 returnedH7725 unto the pitH953; and, behold, JosephH3130 was not in the pitH953; and he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
So they sat downH3427 with him upon the groundH776 sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 nightsH3915, and none spakeH1696 a wordH1697 unto him: for they sawH7200 that his griefH3511 was veryH3966 greatH1431.
Then JudahH3063 came nearH5066 unto him, and saidH559, OhH994 my lordH113, let thy servantH5650, I pray thee, speakH1696 a wordH1697 in my lord'sH113 earsH241, and let not thine angerH639 burnH2734 against thy servantH5650: for thou art even as PharaohH6547.
And JacobH3290 rentH7167 his clothesH8071, and putH7760 sackclothH8242 upon his loinsH4975, and mournedH56 for his sonH1121 manyH7227 daysH3117.
I was dumbH481 with silenceH1747, I held my peaceH2814, even from goodH2896; and my sorrowH3511 was stirredH5916. {stirred: Heb. troubled}
For howH349 shall I go upH5927 to my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be not with me? lest peradventure I seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall come onH4672 my fatherH1. {come…: Heb. find my father}
Then DavidH1732 took holdH2388 on his clothesH899, and rentH7167 them; and likewise all the menH582 that were with him:
But they held their peaceH2790, and answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697: for the king'sH4428 commandmentH4687 was, sayingH559, AnswerH6030 him not.
And JonathanH3083 spakeH1696 goodH2896 of DavidH1732 unto SaulH7586 his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto him, Let not the kingH4428 sinH2398 against his servantH5650, against DavidH1732; because he hath not sinnedH2398 against thee, and because his worksH4639 have been to thee-ward veryH3966 goodH2896:
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097, and to all the peopleH5971 that were with him, RendH7167 your clothesH899, and girdH2296 you with sackclothH8242, and mournH5594 beforeH6440 AbnerH74. And kingH4428 DavidH1732 himself followedH1980+H310 the bierH4296. {bier: Heb. bed}
Why do we sit stillH3427? assembleH622 yourselves, and let us enterH935 into the defencedH4013 citiesH5892, and let us be silentH1826 there: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 hath put us to silenceH1826, and given us waterH4325 of gallH7219 to drinkH8248, because we have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068. {gall: or, poison}
For he did putH7760 his lifeH5315 in his handH3709, and slewH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and the LORDH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 salvationH8668 for all IsraelH3478: thou sawestH7200 it, and didst rejoiceH8055: wherefore then wilt thou sinH2398 against innocentH5355 bloodH1818, to slayH4191 DavidH1732 without a causeH2600?
And it came to pass, when AhabH256 heardH8085 those wordsH1697, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and putH7760 sackclothH8242 upon his fleshH1320, and fastedH6684, and layH7901 in sackclothH8242, and wentH1980 softlyH328.
And fellH5307 at his feetH7272, and saidH559, Upon me, my lordH113, upon me let this iniquityH5771 be: and let thine handmaidH519, I pray thee, speakH1696 in thine audienceH241, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of thine handmaidH589. {audience: Heb. ears}
LetH7760 not my lordH113, I pray thee, regardH3820 this manH376 of BelialH1100, even NabalH5037: for as his nameH8034 is, so is he; NabalH5037 is his nameH8034, and follyH5039 is with him: but I thine handmaidH519 sawH7200 not the young menH5288 of my lordH113, whom thou didst sendH7971. {regard: Heb. lay it to his heart} {Nabal: that is, Fool}
Now therefore, my lordH113, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, seeing the LORDH3068 hath withholdenH4513 thee from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 thyself with thine own handH3027, now let thine enemiesH341, and they that seekH1245 evilH7451 to my lordH113, be as NabalH5037. {avenging…: Heb. saving thyself}
And now this blessingH1293 which thine handmaidH8198 hath broughtH935 unto my lordH113, let it even be givenH5414 unto the young menH5288 that followH1980+H7272 my lordH113. {blessing: or, present} {follow…: Heb. walk at the feet of, etc}
I pray thee, forgiveH5375 the trespassH6588 of thine handmaidH519: for the LORDH3068 will certainlyH6213 makeH6213 my lordH113 a sureH539 houseH1004; because my lordH113 fightethH3898 the battlesH4421 of the LORDH3068, and evilH7451 hath not been foundH4672 in thee all thy daysH3117.
Yet a manH120 is risenH6965 to pursueH7291 thee, and to seekH1245 thy soulH5315: but the soulH5315 of my lordH113 shall be boundH6887 in the bundleH6872 of lifeH2416 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; and the soulsH5315 of thine enemiesH341, them shall he sling outH7049, as out of the middleH8432+H3709 of a slingH7050. {as out…: Heb. in the midst of the bought of a sling}
And it shall come to pass, when the LORDH3068 shall have doneH6213 to my lordH113 according to all the goodH2896 that he hath spokenH1696 concerning thee, and shall have appointedH6680 thee rulerH5057 over IsraelH3478;
That this shall be no griefH6330 unto thee, nor offenceH4383 of heartH3820 unto my lordH113, either that thou hast shedH8210 bloodH1818 causelessH2600, or that my lordH113 hath avengedH3467 himself: but when the LORDH3068 shall have dealt wellH3190 with my lordH113, then rememberH2142 thine handmaidH519. {no grief: Heb. no staggering, or, stumbling}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbigailH26, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which sentH7971 thee this dayH3117 to meetH7125 me:
And blessedH1288 be thy adviceH2940, and blessedH1288 be thou, which hast keptH3607 me this dayH3117 from comingH935 to shed bloodH1818, and from avengingH3467 myself with mine own handH3027.
For in very deedH199, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, which hath kept me backH4513 from hurtingH7489 thee, exceptH3884 thou hadst hastedH4116 and comeH935 to meetH7125 me, surely there had not been leftH3498 unto NabalH5037 by the morningH1242 lightH216 any that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023.
So DavidH1732 receivedH3947 of her handH3027 that which she had broughtH935 him, and saidH559 unto her, Go upH5927 in peaceH7965 to thine houseH1004; seeH7200, I have hearkenedH8085 to thy voiceH6963, and have acceptedH5375 thy personH6440.
And AbigailH26 cameH935 to NabalH5037; and, behold, he held a feastH4960 in his houseH1004, like the feastH4960 of a kingH4428; and Nabal'sH5037 heartH3820 was merryH2896 within him, for he was veryH3966 drunkenH7910: wherefore she toldH5046 him nothingH1697, lessH6996 or moreH1419, until the morningH1242 lightH216.
But it came to pass in the morningH1242, when the wineH3196 was gone outH3318 of NabalH5037, and his wifeH802 had toldH5046 him these thingsH1697, that his heartH3820 diedH4191 withinH7130 him, and he became as a stoneH68.
And it came to pass about tenH6235 daysH3117 after, that the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 NabalH5037, that he diedH4191.
And when DavidH1732 heardH8085 that NabalH5037 was deadH4191, he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, that hath pleadedH7378 the causeH7379 of my reproachH2781 from the handH3027 of NabalH5037, and hath keptH2820 his servantH5650 from evilH7451: for the LORDH3068 hath returnedH7725 the wickednessH7451 of NabalH5037 upon his own headH7218. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 and communedH1696 with AbigailH26, to takeH3947 her to him to wifeH802.
And when the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 were comeH935 to AbigailH26 to CarmelH3760, they spakeH1696 unto her, sayingH559, DavidH1732 sentH7971 us unto thee, to takeH3947 thee to him to wifeH802.
And she aroseH6965, and bowedH7812 herself on her faceH639 to the earthH776, and saidH559, Behold, let thine handmaidH519 be a servantH8198 to washH7364 the feetH7272 of the servantsH5650 of my lordH113.
And AbigailH26 hastedH4116, and aroseH6965, and rodeH7392 upon an assH2543, with fiveH2568 damselsH5291 of hers that wentH1980 afterH7272 her; and she wentH3212 afterH310 the messengersH4397 of DavidH1732, and became his wifeH802. {after her: Heb. at her feet}
DavidH1732 also tookH3947 AhinoamH293 of JezreelH3157; and they were also bothH8147 of them his wivesH802.
But SaulH7586 had givenH5414 MichalH4324 his daughterH1323, David'sH1732 wifeH802, to PhaltiH6406 the sonH1121 of LaishH3919, which was of GallimH1554.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had readH7121 the letterH5612, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and saidH559, Am I GodH430, to killH4191 and to make aliveH2421, that this manH2088 doth sendH7971 unto me to recoverH622 a manH376 of his leprosyH6883? whereforeH389 considerH3045, I pray you, and seeH7200 how he seeketh a quarrelH579 against me.
Therefore the prudentH7919 shall keep silenceH1826 in that timeH6256; for it is an evilH7451 timeH6256.
Then MordecaiH4782 commandedH559 to answerH7725 EstherH635, ThinkH1819 not with thyselfH5315 that thou shalt escapeH4422 in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, more than all the JewsH3064.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the womanH802, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899; and he passed byH5674 upon the wallH2346, and the peopleH5971 lookedH7200, and, behold, he had sackclothH8242 withinH1004 upon his fleshH1320.
And the songsH7892 of the templeH1964 shall be howlingsH3213 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: there shall be manyH7227 dead bodiesH6297 in every placeH4725; they shall cast them forthH7993 with silenceH2013. {shall be howlings: Heb. shall howl} {with…: Heb. be silent}
For if thou altogetherH2790 holdest thy peaceH2790 at this timeH6256, then shall there enlargementH7305 and deliveranceH2020 ariseH5975 to the JewsH3064 from anotherH312 placeH4725; but thou and thy father'sH1 houseH1004 shall be destroyedH6: and who knowethH3045 whether thou art comeH5060 to the kingdomH4438 for such a timeH6256 as this? {enlargement: Heb. respiration}
Yet they were not afraidH6342, nor rentH7167 their garmentsH899, neither the kingH4428, nor any of his servantsH5650 that heardH8085 all these wordsH1697.
TrustH539 ye not in a friendH7453, put ye not confidenceH982 in a guideH441: keepH8104 the doorsH6607 of thy mouthH6310 from her that liethH7901 in thy bosomH2436.
For we are soldH4376, I and my peopleH5971, to be destroyedH8045, to be slainH2026, and to perishH6. But ifH432 we had been soldH4376 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198, I had held my tongueH2790, although the enemyH6862 could not countervailH7737 the king'sH4428 damageH5143. {to be destroyed…: Heb. that they should destroy, and kill, and cause to perish}
And rendH7167 your heartH3824, and not your garmentsH899, and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentethH5162 him of the evilH7451.
Now ElihuH453 had waitedH2442 till JobH347 had spokenH1697, because they were elderH2205+H3117 than he. {waited…: Heb. expected Job in words} {elder: Heb. elder for days}
When ElihuH453 sawH7200 that there was no answerH4617 in the mouthH6310 of these threeH7969 menH582, then his wrathH639 was kindledH2734.
And ElihuH453 the sonH1121 of BarachelH1292 the BuziteH940 answeredH6030 and saidH559, I am youngH6810+H3117, and ye are very oldH3453; wherefore I was afraidH2119, and durstH3372 not shewH2331 you mine opinionH1843. {young: Heb. few of days} {durst…: Heb. feared}
I saidH559, DaysH3117 should speakH1696, and multitudeH7230 of yearsH8141 should teachH3045 wisdomH2451.
ButH403 there is a spiritH7307 in manH582: and the inspirationH5397 of the AlmightyH7706 giveth them understandingH995.
Great menH7227 are not always wiseH2449: neither do the agedH2205 understandH995 judgmentH4941.
Therefore I saidH559, HearkenH8085 to me; I also will shewH2331 mine opinionH1843.
Behold, I waitedH3176 for your wordsH1697; I gave earH238 to your reasonsH8394, whilst ye searched outH2713 what to sayH4405. {reasons: Heb. understandings} {what…: Heb. words}
Yea, I attendedH995 unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convincedH3198 JobH347, or that answeredH6030 his wordsH561:
Lest ye should sayH559, We have found outH4672 wisdomH2451: GodH410 thrusteth him downH5086, not manH376.
Now he hath not directedH6186 his wordsH4405 against me: neither will I answerH7725 him with your speechesH561. {directed: or, ordered}
They were amazedH2865, they answeredH6030 no more: they left offH6275 speakingH4405. {left…: Heb. removed speeches from themselves}
When I had waitedH3176, (for they spakeH1696 not, but stood stillH5975, and answeredH6030 no more;)
I said, I will answerH6030 also my partH2506, I also will shewH2331 mine opinionH1843.
For I am fullH4390 of matterH4405, the spiritH7307 withinH990 me constrainethH6693 me. {matter: Heb. words} {spirit…: Heb. spirit of my belly}
Behold, my bellyH990 is as wineH3196 which hath no ventH6605; it is ready to burstH1234 like newH2319 bottlesH178. {hath…: Heb. is not opened}
I will speakH1696, that I may be refreshedH7304: I will openH6605 my lipsH8193 and answerH6030. {be…: Heb. breathe}
Let me not, I pray you, acceptH5375 any man'sH376 personH6440, neither let me give flattering titlesH3655 unto manH120.
For I knowH3045 not to give flattering titlesH3655; in so doing my makerH6213 would soonH4592 take me awayH5375.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 aroseG450 and went withG4905 themG846. When heG3739 was comeG3854, they brought himG321 intoG1519 the upper chamberG5253: andG2532 allG3956 the widowsG5503 stood byG3936 himG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 shewingG1925 the coatsG5509 andG2532 garmentsG2440 whichG3745 DorcasG1393 madeG4160, while she wasG5607 withG3326 themG846.
If thou forbearH2820 to deliverH5337 them that are drawnH3947 unto deathH4194, and those that are readyH4131 to be slainH2027;
If thou sayestH559, Behold, we knewH3045 it not; doth not he that ponderethH8505 the heartH3826 considerH995 it? and he that keepethH5341 thy soulH5315, doth not he knowH3045 it? and shall not he renderH7725 to every manH120 according to his worksH6467?
OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310 for the dumbH483 in the causeH1779 of all such as are appointedH1121 to destructionH2475. {such…: Heb. the sons of destruction}
OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310, judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664, and pleadH1777 the cause of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
And when heG846 was come nighG1448, evenG1161 nowG2235 atG4314 the descentG2600 of the mountG3735 of OlivesG1636, the wholeG537 multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 beganG756 to rejoiceG5463 and praiseG134 GodG2316 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 forG4012 allG3956 the mighty worksG1411 thatG3739 they had seenG1492;
SayingG3004, BlessedG2127 be the KingG935 that comethG2064 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962: peaceG1515 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 gloryG1391 inG1722 the highestG5310.
AndG2532 someG5100 of the PhariseesG5330 fromG575 among the multitudeG3793 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, MasterG1320, rebukeG2008 thyG4675 disciplesG3101.
AndG2532 he answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, I tellG3004 youG5213 thatG3754, ifG1437 theseG3778 should hold their peaceG4623, the stonesG3037 would immediately cry outG2896.
