Ecclesiastes 3:1-9 - God Has Ordained The Ebb And Flow Of Human Activities

¹ There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven— ²
A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is 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 throw away 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 as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
⁷
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to keep 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 What profit is there for the worker from that in which he labors?
