Ecclesiastes Chapter 3
All human things are liable to perpetual changes. We are to rest on
God's providence, and cast away fruitless cares.
3:1. All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.
3:2. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
3:3. A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.
3:4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
3:5. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
3:6. A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.
3:7. A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
3:8. A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.
