Lyrics
1 To every thing there
is a season, and a
time to every purpose
under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a
time to die; a time to
plant, and a time to pluck
up that which is
planted;
3 A time to kill, and a
time to heal; a time to
break 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 cast away
stones, and a time to
gather stones together; a
time to embrace, and a
time to refrain from
embracing;
6 A time to get, and a
time to lose; a time to
keep, and a time to cast
away;
7 A time to rend, and a
time to sew; a time to
keep silence, and a time
to speak;
8 A time to love, and a
time to hate; a time of
war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that
worketh in that wherein he
laboureth?
10 I have seen the
travail, which God hath
given to the sons of men
to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every
thing beautiful in his
time: also he hath set the
world in their heart, so
that no man can find out
the work that God maketh
from the beginning to the
end.
12 I know that there is
no good in them, but for
a man to rejoice,
and to do good in his
life.
13 And also that every man
should eat and drink, and
enjoy the good of all his
labour, it is the
gift of God.
14 I know that, whatsoever
God doeth, it shall be for
ever: nothing can be put
to it, nor any thing taken
from it: and God doeth
it, that men
should fear before him.
15 That which hath been is
now; and that which is to
be hath already been; and
God requireth that which
is past.
16 And moreover I saw
under the sun the place of
judgment, that
wickedness was
there; and the place of
righteousness, that
iniquity was there.
17 I said in mine heart,
God shall judge the
righteous and the wicked:
for there is a time
there for every purpose
and for every work.
18 I said in mine heart
concerning the estate of
the sons of men, that God
might manifest them, and
that they might see that
they themselves are
beasts.
19 For that which
befalleth the sons of men
befalleth beasts; even one
thing befalleth them: as
the one dieth, so dieth
the other; yea, they have
all one breath; so that a
man hath no preeminence
above a beast: for all
is vanity.
20 All go unto one place;
all are of the dust, and
all turn to dust again.
21 Who knoweth the spirit
of man that goeth upward,
and the spirit of the
beast that goeth downward
to the earth?
22 Wherefore I perceive
that there is
nothing better, than that
a man should rejoice in
his own works; for that
is his portion: for
who shall bring him to see
what shall be after him?
