        <b>1.  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 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;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 3.  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 4.  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 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;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 6.  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 7.  A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 8.  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in 
        it.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>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.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 12.  I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in 
        his life.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 13.  And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his 
        labour, it is the gift of God.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>15.  That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God 
        requireth that which is past.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> </b>
      
      
        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.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>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.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         20.  All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>21.  Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that 
        goeth downward to the earth?</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>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?</b>
