Ecclesiastes 3: ²¹ Who Knows if the Human Spirit Rises Upward and if the Spirit of the Animal Goes Down Into the Earth?” (3)

                                                                                                                     138

¹⁶ And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there. (7)

¹⁷ I said to myself, “GOD will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”

¹⁸ I also said to myself, “As for humans, GOD tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals.

                                                                                                                     369

⁷ a time to Tear and a time to Mend, a time to be Silent and a time to Speak, (7)
⁸ a time to Love and a time to Hate, a time for War and a time for Peace.

⁹ What do workers gain from their toil?

                                                                                                                     369

²² So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them? (4)

                                                                                                                     147

¹³ That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of GOD. (4)

¹⁴ I know that Everything GOD does will Endure Forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. GOD does it so that people will Fear Him.

¹⁵ Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and GOD will call the past to account.

                                                                                                                    369

⁴ a time to Weep and a time to Laugh, a time to Mourn and a time to Dance, (4)                           

⁵ a time to Scatter Stones and a time to Gather Them, a time to Embrace and a time to Refrain from Embracing,
⁶ a time to Search and a time to Give Up, a time to Keep and a time to Throw Away,

                                                                                                                    369

¹⁹ Surely the fate of Human beings is like that of the Animals; the Same fate awaits them both: As One Dies, so Dies the Other. All have the Same Breath; Humans have No Advantage over Animals. Everything is Meaningless. (1)

²⁰ All go to the Same Place; all Come from Dust, and to Dust all Return.

                                                                                                                    258

¹⁰ I have seen the burden GOD has laid on the human race. (1)

¹¹ He has made Everything Beautiful in its time. He has also set Eternity in the Human Heart; yet no one can fathom what GOD has done from Beginning to End.

¹² I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.

A Time for Everything

3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: (1)

² a time to be Born and a time to Die, a time to Plant and a time to Uproot,
³ a time to Kill and a time to Heal, a time to Tear Down and a time to Build,
                                                                                                                    138
