Bible verses about "seasons" | ISV

¹⁰ “For just as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, yielding seed for the sower and bread for eating, ¹¹ so will my message be that goes out of my mouth— it won’t return to me empty. Instead, it will accomplish what I desire, and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

⁶ You greatly rejoice in this, even though you have to suffer various kinds of trials for a little while,

⁹ Let’s not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.

⁷ He answered them, “It isn’t for you to know what times or periods the Father has fixed by his own authority.

²² “Never again, as long as the earth exists, will sowing and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night ever cease.”

¹ The Purposes in God’s Timing There is a season for everything, and a time for every event under heaven: ² a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what was planted; ³ a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build up; ⁴ a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; ⁵ a time to scatter stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; ⁶ a time to search, and a time to give up searching; a time to keep, and a time to discard; ⁷ a time to tear, and a time to mend; a time to be silent, and a time to speak; ⁸ a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
⁹ The Purpose of LifeWhat benefit does the worker gain from what he undertakes? ¹⁰ I have observed the burdens placed by God on human beings in order to perfect them. ¹¹ He made everything appropriate in its time. He also placed eternity within them—yet, no person can fully comprehend what God is doing from beginning to end.
¹² I have concluded that the only worthwhile thing for them is to take pleasure in doing good in life; ¹³ moreover, every person should eat, drink, and enjoy the benefits of everything that he undertakes, since it is a gift from God.
¹⁴ I have concluded that everything that God undertakes will last for eternity—nothing can be added to it nor taken away from it—and that God acts this way so that people will fear him. ¹⁵ That which was, now is; and that which will be, already is; and God examines what has already taken place.
¹⁶ From Dust to DustI also examined on earth: where the halls of justice were supposed to be, there was lawlessness; and where the righteous were supposed to be, there was lawlessness. ¹⁷ I told myself, “God will judge both the righteous and the wicked, because there is a time set to judge every event and every work.”
¹⁸ “As for human beings,” I told myself, “God puts them to the test, that they might see themselves as mere animals.” ¹⁹ For what happens to people also happens to animals—a single event happens to them: just as someone dies, so does the other. In fact, they all breathe the same way, so that a human being has no superiority over an animal. All of this is pointless. ²⁰ All of them go to one place: all of them originate from dust, and all of them return to dust.
²¹ Who knows whether the spirit of human beings ascends, and whether the spirit of animals descends to the earth? ²² I concluded that it is worthwhile for people to find joy in their accomplishments, because that is their inheritance, since who can see what will exist after them?
