Everything, hath he made beautiful in its own time, - also, intelligence, hath he put in their heart, without which men could not find out the work which God hath wrought, from the beginning even unto the end.

I again saw under the sun, that not, to the swift, was the race, nor, to the strong, the battle, nay! nor, to the wise, food, nor yet, to the intelligent, riches, nor, even to the well-informed, comeliness, - for, time and accident, happened to them all.

A time to be born, and a time to die, - A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal, - A time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh, - A time to wail, and a time to dance for joy;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to heap up stones, - A time to embrace, and a time to be far from loving embrace;

A time to seek, and a time to give up as lost, - A time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew, - A time to be silent, and a time to speak;

A time to love and a time to hate, - A time of war, and a time of peace.

Here is one, without a second, even son or brother, he hath none, yet is there no end to all his toil, even his eye, is not satisfied with riches, - neither saith he For whom, am I toiling, and letting my soul want good? Even this, was vanity, yea a vexatious employment, it was!

For truly, many times, thy heart knoweth, - that, even thou thyself, hast reviled others.

For, indeed, man could not know his own time, like fishes which were caught in a cruel net, and like little birds which were caught in a trap, - like them, were ensnared the sons of men, by a time of misfortune, when it fell upon them suddenly.
