Dual Panel1To every [thing there is] a season <02165>_, and a time <06256> to every purpose <02656> under the heaven <08064>_:
2A time <06256> to be born <03205> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to die <04191> (8800)_; a time <06256> to plant <05193> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to pluck up <06131> (8800) [that which is] planted <05193> (8803)_; {to be...: Heb. to bear}
3A time <06256> to kill <02026> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to heal <07495> (8800)_; a time <06256> to break down <06555> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to build up <01129> (8800)_;
4A time <06256> to weep <01058> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to laugh <07832> (8800)_; a time <06256> to mourn <05594> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to dance <07540> (8800)_;
5A time <06256> to cast away <07993> (8687) stones <068>_, and a time <06256> to gather <03664> (0) stones <068> together <03664> (8800)_; a time <06256> to embrace <02263> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to refrain <07368> (8800) from embracing <02263> (8763)_; {to refrain from: Heb. to be far from}
6A time <06256> to get <01245> (8763)_, and a time <06256> to lose <06> (8763)_; a time <06256> to keep <08104> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to cast away <07993> (8687)_; {get: or, seek}
7A time <06256> to rend <07167> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to sew <08609> (8800)_; a time <06256> to keep silence <02814> (8800)_, and a time <06256> to speak <01696> (8763)_;

9What profit <03504> hath he that worketh <06213> (8802) in that wherein <0834> he laboureth <06001>_?
10I have seen <07200> (8804) the travail <06045>_, which God <0430> hath given <05414> (8804) to the sons <01121> of men <0120> to be exercised <06031> (8800) in it.
11He hath made <06213> (8804) every [thing] beautiful <03303> in his time <06256>_: also he hath set <05414> (8804) the world <05769> in their heart <03820>_, so that <01097> no man <0120> can find out <04672> (8799) the work <04639> that God <0430> maketh <06213> (8804) from the beginning <07218> to the end <05490>_.
12I know <03045> (8804) that [there is] no good <02896> in them, but for [a man] to rejoice <08055> (8800)_, and to do <06213> (8800) good <02896> in his life <02416>_.
13And also that every man <0120> should eat <0398> (8799) and drink <08354> (8804)_, and enjoy <07200> (8804) the good <02896> of all his labour <05999>_, it [is] the gift <04991> of God <0430>_.
14I know <03045> (8804) that, whatsoever God <0430> doeth <06213> (8799)_, it shall be for ever <05769>_: nothing <0369> can be put <03254> (8687) to it, nor any thing taken <01639> (8800) from it: and God <0430> doeth <06213> (8804) [it], that [men] should fear <03372> (8799) before <06440> him.
15That which hath been is now <03528>_; and that which is to be hath already <03528> been; and God <0430> requireth <01245> (8762) that which is past <07291> (8737)_. {that which is past: Heb. that which is driven away}
16And moreover I saw <07200> (8804) under the sun <08121> the place <04725> of judgment <04941>_, [that] wickedness <07562> [was] there; and the place <04725> of righteousness <06664>_, [that] iniquity <07562> [was] there.
17I said <0559> (8804) in mine heart <03820>_, God <0430> shall judge <08199> (8799) the righteous <06662> and the wicked <07563>_: for [there is] a time <06256> there for every purpose <02656> and for every work <04639>_.
18I said <0559> (8804) in mine heart <03820> concerning the estate <01700> of the sons <01121> of men <0120>_, that God <0430> might manifest <01305> (8800) them, and that they might see <07200> (8800) that they <01992> themselves are beasts <0929>_. {that God...: or, that they might clear God, and see, etc}
19For that which befalleth <04745> the sons <01121> of men <0120> befalleth <04745> beasts <0929>_; even one thing <0259> befalleth <04745> them: as the one dieth <04194>_, so dieth <04194> the other <02088>_; yea, they have all one <0259> breath <07307>_; so that a man <0120> hath no preeminence <04195> above a beast <0929>_: for all [is] vanity <01892>_.
20All go <01980> (8802) unto one <0259> place <04725>_; all are of the dust <06083>_, and all turn <07725> (0) to dust <06083> again <07725> (8804)_.
21Who knoweth <03045> (8802) the spirit <07307> of man <01121> <0120> that goeth <05927> (8802) upward <04605>_, and the spirit <07307> of the beast <0929> that goeth <03381> (8802) downward <04295> to the earth <0776>_? {of man: Heb. of the sons of man} {goeth upward: Heb. is ascending, etc}
22Wherefore I perceive <07200> (8804) that [there is] nothing better <02896>_, than that a man <0120> should rejoice <08055> (8799) in his own works <04639>_; for that [is] his portion <02506>_: for who shall bring <0935> (8686) him to see <07200> (8800) what shall be after <0310> him?
