TIME
To all there is a season and a time to every desire under the heavens; 2 a time to birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot the planted; 3 a time to slaughter and a time to heal; a time to breach and a time to build; 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to chop and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to be far from embracing; 6 a time to seek and a time to destroy; a time to guard and a time to cast; 7 a time to rip and a time to sew; a time to hush and a time to word; 8 a time to love and a time to hate; a time of war and a time of shalom. 9 What advantage has he who works in that wherein he toils? 10 I saw the drudgery Elohim gave to the sons of humanity to be humbled therein. 11 He worked all beautiful in his time; also he gave eternally in their heart, so that no human can find out the work Elohim works from the top to the end. 12 I know that there is no good for them, but to cheer and to work good in their life. 13 And also that all humanity eat and drink and see the good of all his toil, - the gift of Elohim. 14 I know that whatever Elohim works, is eternal; neither augmented; nor diminished: and Elohim works so that they awe at his face. 15 What became, already is; and what becomes, already became: and Elohim seeks what is pursued. 16 And again, I saw under the sun the place of judgment - that wickedness was there; and the place of justness - that wickedness was there. 17 I said in my heart, Elohim judges the just and the wicked; for there is a time for every desire and for every work. 18 I said in my heart concerning the word of the sons of humanity, that Elohim purify them - that they see that they themselves are animals. 19 For what happens to the sons of humanity happens to animals - even this happens to them; as this dies, thus that dies; yes, they all have one spirit; so that humanity has no advantage over an animal; for all is vanity. 20 All go to one place; all became of dust; all return to dust. 21 Who knows the spirit of the son of humanity that ascends; and the spirit of the animal that descends to the earth? 22 I see there is naught better, than for a human to cheer in his own works; for that is his allotment; for who brings him to see what becomes after him?
