A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build up,
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance,
A time to gather stones and a time to scatter them,
A time to embrace and a time to refrain,
A time to search and a time to give up,
A time to keep and a time to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend,
A time to be silent and a time to speak,
A time to love and a time to hate,
A time for war and a time for peace.
What does the worker gain from their toil? I have seen the burden that God has laid on humans. God has made everything beautiful in Their time. They have also laid eternity in the hearts of humans; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that everything that God does will endure forever, nothing can be added to it and nothing can be taken away from it. God does it so that humans will revere Them.
This is the word of the LORD.
Thanks, trust, and praise be to God.
