1~~
Every thing has an allotted time.There is a time for every
pleasure under heaven: 2~~
A
time to be born, and a time to die.
A
time to plant and a time to destroy that which was planted. 3~~
A
time to kill and a time to heal.
A
time to demolish and a time to build. 4~~
A
time to weep and a time to laugh.
A
time to mourn and a time to dance. 5~~
A
time to throw stones and a time to gather stones.
A
time for sex and a time to be far away from sex. 6~~
A
time to be aggressive and a time to give up as lost.
A
time to keep and a time to throw away. 7~~
A
time to rip apart and a time to sew together.
A
time to be silent and a time to speak. 8~~
A
time to love and a time to hate.
A
time for war and a time for peace.
9~~
What profit to the one in the field of monotonous and wearisome
labor?
10~~
I have researched the occupation of time, which the God has given to
the sons of men to be occupied in it.
11~~
He has manufactured out of doctrine every thing good in its own
time. Also he has given the eternal doctrine in their right lobes,
without which doctrine, mankind can not perceive that which the God
has made from the beginning even to the end of history.
12~~
I know that there is nothing better for them in time than to possess
inner happiness from doctrine and to manufacture out of doctrine,
divine good in his lifetime.
13~~
And, also that every man {in time} who eats and who
drinks
. . . even he . . . shall see good {freedom, privacy and 'live and
let live'} for all of his hard work . . . it is the gift of God.
