Library > Bible versions > NIV > Ecclesiastes > 3 > Ecclesiastes   3 : 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 3 : 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 : 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down 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 them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, 3 : 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 3 : 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 3 : 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. 3 : 9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 3 : 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 3 : 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 3 : 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 3 : 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil--this is the gift of God. 3 : 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him. 3 : 15 Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account. 3 : 16 And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment--wickedness was there, in the place of justice--wickedness was there. 3 : 17 I thought in my heart, "God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed." 3 : 18 I also thought, "As for men, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 3 : 19 Man`s fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath ; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. 3 : 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 3 : 21 Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?" 3 : 22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?
