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?

The counselH6098 of the LORDH3068 standethH5975 for everH5769, the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 to allH1755 generationsH1755. {to all…: Heb. to generation and generation}
Surely the wrathH2534 of manH120 shall praiseH3034 thee: the remainderH7611 of wrathH2534 shalt thou restrainH2296.
And all menH120 shall fearH3372, and shall declareH5046 the workH6467 of GodH430; for they shall wisely considerH7919 of his doingH4639.

There are manyH7227 devicesH4284 in a man'sH376 heartH3820; nevertheless the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that shall standH6965.
According toH5921 their deedsH1578, accordingly he will repayH7999, furyH2534 to his adversariesH6862, recompenceH1576 to his enemiesH341; to the islandsH339 he will repayH7999 recompenceH1576. {deeds: Heb. recompences}
So shall they fearH3372 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 from the westH4628, and his gloryH3519 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121. When the enemyH6862 shall come inH935 like a floodH5104, the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall lift up a standardH5127 against him. {lift…: or, put him to flight}
DeclaringH5046 the endH319 from the beginningH7225, and from ancient timesH6924 the things that are not yet doneH6213, sayingH559, My counselH6098 shall standH6965, and I will doH6213 all my pleasureH2656:
WhoG5101 shallG5399 notG3364 fearG5399 theeG4571, O LordG2962, andG2532 glorifyG1392 thyG4675 nameG3686? forG3754 thou onlyG3441 art holyG3741: forG3754 allG3956 nationsG1484 shall comeG2240 andG2532 worshipG4352 beforeG1799 theeG4675; forG3754 thyG4675 judgmentsG1345 are made manifestG5319.
And at the endH7118 of the daysH3118 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 lifted upH5191 mine eyesH5870 unto heavenH8065, and mine understandingH4486 returnedH8421 unto meH5922, and I blessedH1289 the most HighH5943, and I praisedH7624 and honouredH1922 him that livethH2417 for everH5957, whose dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, and his kingdomH4437 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859:
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the LordH136 hath performedH1214 his whole workH4639 upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 and on JerusalemH3389, I will punishH6485 the fruitH6529 of the stoutH1433 heartH3824 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and the gloryH8597 of his highH7312 looksH5869. {punish: Heb. visit upon} {stout…: Heb. greatness of the heart}
For he saithH559, By the strengthH3581 of my handH3027 I have doneH6213 it, and by my wisdomH2451; for I am prudentH995: and I have removedH5493 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971, and have robbedH8154 their treasuresH6259+H6264, and I have put downH3381 the inhabitantsH3427 like a valiantH47+H3524 man: {a valiant…: or, many people}
And my handH3027 hath foundH4672 as a nestH7064 the richesH2428 of the peopleH5971: and as one gatherethH622 eggsH1000 that are leftH5800, have I gatheredH622 all the earthH776; and there was none that movedH5074 the wingH3671, or openedH6475 the mouthH6310, or peepedH6850.
Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286 itself against him that hewethH2672 therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431 itself against him that shakethH5130 it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130 itself against them that lift it upH7311, or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311 itself, as if it were no woodH6086. {the rod…: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if…: or, that which is not wood}
And allH3606 the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772 are reputedH2804 as nothingH3809: and he doethH5648 according to his willH6634 in the armyH2429 of heavenH8065, and among the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772: and noneH3809 canH383 stayH4223 his handH3028, or sayH560 unto him, WhatH4101 doestH5648 thou?

HimG5126, being deliveredG1560 by the determinateG3724 counselG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316, ye have takenG2983, and byG1223 wickedG459 handsG5495 have crucifiedG4362 and slainG337:
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4474, and doH6213 according to his willH7522.
And when he shall stand upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; and not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruledH4910: for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked upH5428, even for othersH312 beside those.
For to doG4160 whatsoeverG3745 thyG4675 handG5495 andG2532 thyG4675 counselG1012 determined beforeG4309 to be doneG1096.
ThenG3767 saithG3004 PilateG4091 unto himG846, Speakest thouG2980 notG3756 unto meG1698? knowest thouG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 I haveG2192 powerG1849 to crucifyG4717 theeG4571, andG2532 haveG2192 powerG1849 to releaseG630 theeG4571?
ForG3754 ofG1537 himG846, andG2532 throughG1223 himG846, andG2532 toG1519 himG846, are all thingsG3956: to whomG846 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {whom: Gr. him}
JesusG2424 answeredG611, Thou couldest haveG2192 noG3756 powerG1849 at all againstG3762+G2596 meG1700, exceptG1508 it wereG2258 givenG1325 theeG4671 from aboveG509: thereforeG5124+G1223 he that deliveredG3860 meG3165 unto theeG4671 hathG2192 the greaterG3187 sinG266.
According toG2596 the eternalG165 purposeG4286 whichG3739 he purposedG4160 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962:
AfterG3326 thisG5124, JesusG2424 knowingG1492 thatG3754 all thingsG3956 wereG5055 nowG2235 accomplishedG5055, thatG2443 the scriptureG1124 might be fulfilledG5048, saithG3004, I thirstG1372.
NowG3767 there was setG2749 a vesselG4632 fullG3324 of vinegarG3690: andG1161 they filledG4130 a spungeG4699 with vinegarG3690, andG2532 put it uponG4060 hyssopG5301, and putG4374 it to hisG846 mouthG4750.
WhenG3753 JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 had receivedG2983 the vinegarG3690, he saidG2036, It is finishedG5055: andG2532 he bowedG2827 his headG2776, and gave upG3860 the ghostG4151.
The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767, becauseG1893 it wasG2258 the preparationG3904, thatG3363 the bodiesG4983 shouldG3306 notG3363 remainG3306 uponG1909 the crossG4716 onG1722 the sabbath dayG4521, (forG1063 thatG1565 sabbath dayG4521 wasG2258 an highG3173 dayG2250,) besoughtG2065 PilateG4091 thatG2443 theirG846 legsG4628 might be brokenG2608, andG2532 that they might be taken awayG142.
ThenG3767 cameG2064 the soldiersG4757, andG2532 brakeG2608 the legsG4628 of theG3303 firstG4413, andG2532 of the otherG243 whichG3588 was crucified withG4957 himG846.
ButG1161 whenG5613 they cameG2064 toG1909 JesusG2424, and sawG1492 that heG846 was deadG2348 alreadyG2235, they brakeG2608 notG3756 hisG846 legsG4628:
ButG235 oneG1520 of the soldiersG4757 with a spearG3057 piercedG3572 hisG846 sideG4125, andG2532 forthwithG2117 came there outG1831 bloodG129 andG2532 waterG5204.
AndG2532 he that sawG3708 it bare recordG3140, andG2532 hisG846 recordG3141 isG2076 trueG228: and heG2548 knowethG1492 thatG3754 he saithG3004 trueG227, thatG2443 yeG5210 might believeG4100.
ForG1063 these thingsG5023 were doneG1096, thatG2443 the scriptureG1124 should be fulfilledG4137, A boneG3747 of himG846 shallG4937 notG3756 be brokenG4937.
AndG2532 againG3825 anotherG2087 scriptureG1124 saithG3004, They shall lookG3700 onG1519 him whomG3739 they piercedG1574.
InG1909 hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 GodG2316, that cannot lieG893, promisedG1861 beforeG4253 the worldG166 beganG5550; {In: or, For}
