3:1 To every [thing there is] a season 2165, and a time 6256 to every purpose 2656 under the heaven 8064:

3:2 A time 6256 to be born 3205 8800, and a time 6256 to die 4191 8800; a time 6256 to plant 5193 8800, and a time 6256 to pluck up 6131 8800 [that which is] planted 5193 8803;(to be…: Heb. to bear)

3:3 A time 6256 to kill 2026 8800, and a time 6256 to heal 7495 8800; a time 6256 to break down 6555 8800, and a time 6256 to build up 1129 8800;

3:4 A time 6256 to weep 1058 8800, and a time 6256 to laugh 7832 8800; a time 6256 to mourn 5594 8800, and a time 6256 to dance 7540 8800;

3:5 A time 6256 to cast away 7993 8687 stones 68, and a time 6256 to gather 3664 0 stones 68 together 3664 8800; a time 6256 to embrace 2263 8800, and a time 6256 to refrain 7368 8800 from embracing 2263 8763;(to refrain from: Heb. to be far from)

3:6 A time 6256 to get 1245 8763, and a time 6256 to lose 6 8763; a time 6256 to keep 8104 8800, and a time 6256 to cast away 7993 8687;(get: or, seek)

3:7 A time 6256 to rend 7167 8800, and a time 6256 to sew 8609 8800; a time 6256 to keep silence 2814 8800, and a time 6256 to speak 1696 8763;

3:8 A time 6256 to love 157 8800, and a time 6256 to hate 8130 8800; a time 6256 of war 4421, and a time 6256 of peace 7965.

3:9 What profit 3504 hath he that worketh 6213 8802 in that wherein 834 he laboureth 6001?

3:10 I have seen 7200 8804 the travail 6045, which God 430 hath given 5414 8804 to the sons 1121 of men 120 to be exercised 6031 8800 in it.

3:11 He hath made 6213 8804 every [thing] beautiful 3303 in his time 6256: also he hath set 5414 8804 the world 5769 in their heart 3820, so that 1097 no man 120 can find out 4672 8799 the work 4639 that God 430 maketh 6213 8804 from the beginning 7218 to the end 5490.

3:12 I know 3045 8804 that [there is] no good 2896 in them, but for [a man] to rejoice 8055 8800, and to do 6213 8800 good 2896 in his life 2416.

3:13 And also that every man 120 should eat 398 8799 and drink 8354 8804, and enjoy 7200 8804 the good 2896 of all his labour 5999, it [is] the gift 4991 of God 430.

3:14 I know 3045 8804 that, whatsoever God 430 doeth 6213 8799, it shall be for ever 5769: nothing 369 can be put 3254 8687 to it, nor any thing taken 1639 8800 from it: and God 430 doeth 6213 8804 [it], that [men] should fear 3372 8799 before 6440 him.

3:15 That which hath been is now 3528; and that which is to be hath already 3528 been; and God 430 requireth 1245 8762 that which is past 7291 8737.(that which is past: Heb. that which is driven away)

3:16 And moreover I saw 7200 8804 under the sun 8121 the place 4725 of judgment 4941, [that] wickedness 7562 [was] there; and the place 4725 of righteousness 6664, [that] iniquity 7562 [was] there.

3:17 I said 559 8804 in mine heart 3820, God 430 shall judge 8199 8799 the righteous 6662 and the wicked 7563: for [there is] a time 6256 there for every purpose 2656 and for every work 4639.

3:18 I said 559 8804 in mine heart 3820 concerning the estate 1700 of the sons 1121 of men 120, that God 430 might manifest 1305 8800 them, and that they might see 7200 8800 that they 1992 themselves are beasts 929.(that God…: or, that they might clear God, and see, etc)

3:19 For that which befalleth 4745 the sons 1121 of men 120 befalleth 4745 beasts 929; even one thing 259 befalleth 4745 them: as the one dieth 4194, so dieth 4194 the other 2088; yea, they have all one 259 breath 7307; so that a man 120 hath no preeminence 4195 above a beast 929: for all [is] vanity 1892.

3:20 All go 1980 8802 unto one 259 place 4725; all are of the dust 6083, and all turn 7725 0 to dust 6083 again 7725 8804.

3:21 Who knoweth 3045 8802 the spirit 7307 of man 1121 120 that goeth 5927 8802 upward 4605, and the spirit 7307 of the beast 929 that goeth 3381 8802 downward 4295 to the earth 776?(of man: Heb. of the sons of man)(goeth upward: Heb. is ascending, etc)

3:22 Wherefore I perceive 7200 8804 that [there is] nothing better 2896, than that a man 120 should rejoice 8055 8799 in his own works 4639; for that [is] his portion 2506: for who shall bring 935 8686 him to see 7200 8800 what shall be after 310 him?
