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?

LoH7200, this onlyH905 have I foundH4672, that GodH430 hath madeH6213 manH120 uprightH3477; but they have sought outH1245 manyH7227 inventionsH2810.
He alsoG1161 that received seedG4687 amongG1519 the thornsG173 isG2076 he thatG3778 hearethG191 the wordG3056; andG2532 the careG3308 of thisG5127 worldG165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, andG2532 he becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175.
Then I beheldH7200 all the workH4639 of GodH430, that a manH120 cannotH3201 find outH4672 the workH4639 that is doneH6213 under the sunH8121: becauseH834 thoughH7945 a manH120 labourH5998 to seek it outH1245, yet he shall not findH4672 it; yea further; though a wiseH2450 man thinkH559 to knowH3045 it, yet shall he not be ableH3201 to findH4672 it.
And GodH430 sawH7200 every thing thatH834 he had madeH6213, and, behold, it was veryH3966 goodH2896. And the eveningH6153 and the morningH1242 were the sixthH8345 dayH3117.
BecauseG1360 that which may be knownG1110 of GodG2316 isG2076 manifestG5318 inG1722 themG846; forG1063 GodG2316 hath shewedG5319 it unto themG846. {in them: or, to them}

He is the RockH6697, his workH6467 is perfectH8549: for all his waysH1870 are judgmentH4941: a GodH410 of truthH530 and without iniquityH5766, justH6662 and rightH3477 is he.
ForG1063 the invisible thingsG517 of himG846 fromG575 the creationG2937 of the worldG2889 are clearly seenG2529, being understoodG3539 by the things that are madeG4161, evenG5037 hisG846 eternalG126 powerG1411 andG2532 GodheadG2305; soG1519 that theyG846 areG1511 without excuseG379: {so…: or, that they may be}
Touching the AlmightyH7706, we cannot find him outH4672: he is excellentH7689 in powerH3581, and in judgmentH4941, and in plentyH7230 of justiceH6666: he will not afflictH6031.
AndG2532 were beyond measureG5249 astonishedG1605, sayingG3004, He hath doneG4160 all thingsG3956 wellG2573: he makethG4160 bothG2532 the deafG2974 to hearG191, andG2532 the dumbG216 to speakG2980.
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}
