Chap. III.
Contrarie thinges succede in their seasons, and passe away, 9. wherof man
getteth no perfect knowlege, how long soeuer he liueth, and laboreth to
know them: 16. neither wil there be equitie where it ought to be in
this world: 21. but in the next, good and euil shal be separated, and
iudged according to their desertes.
1 Al thinges haue a time, and in their spaces al thinges passe
vnder note heauen.
2 A time to be borne, & a time to dye.
A time to plant, & a time to pluck vp that which was planted.
3 A time to kil, and a time to heale. A time to destroy,
and a time to builde.
-- --
4 A time to wepe, & a time to laugh. A time to mourne,
and a time to dance.
5 A time to disperse stones, and a time to gather.
5 A time to embrace, and a time to be farre from embracings.
6 A time to gette, and a time to lose.
6 A time to kepe, and a time to cast away.
7 A time to rent, and a time to sow together.
7 A time to kepe silence, & a time to speake.
8 A time of loue, and a time of hatred. A time of warre,
and a time of peace.
9 noteWhat hath man more of his labour?
10 I haue sene the affliction, which God hath geuen to the
children of men, that they may be distracted in it.
11 He hath
made al thinges good in their time, and hath deliuered the
world to their disputation, and that man can not finde the
worke, which God hath wrought from the beginning vnto
the end.
12 And I haue knowne that there was no better
thing then to reioyce, and to do wel in his life.
13 For euerie
man, that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour,
this is the gift of God.
14 I haue lerned that al the workes,
which God hath made, perseuere for euer: we can not adde
anie thing, nor take away from those thinges, which God
hath made that he may be feared.
15 That which hath bene
made, the same is permanent: the thinges that shal be, haue
already bene: and God restoreth that which is past.
16 I saw
vnder the sunne in the place of iudgement impietie, and in the
place of iustice iniquitie.
17 And I sayde in my hart: the iust
and the impious God wil iudge, and then shal be the time of
euerie thing.
18 I sayd in my hart of the children of men, that
God would proue them, and shew them to be like beastes.
19 Therfore there is one death of man, and beastes, and the
condition of both equal: as man dieth, so they also dye: al
thinges breath alike, and man hath nothing more then beast:
al thinges are subiect to vanitie,
20 and al thinges passe to one
place: of earth they were made, and into earth they returne
together.
21 Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of
Adam ascend vpward, and if the spirite of beastes descend
downward?
22 And I haue found that nothing is better then
for a man to reioyce in his worke, and that this is his
portion. For who shal bring him, to know the thinges that
shal be after him?
