There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die, A time to plant and a time to uproot, A time to kill and a time to heal...
A time to tear down and a time to build. A time to weep and a time to laugh, A time to mourn and a time to dance, A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them.
A time to embrace and a time to refrain. A time to search and a time to give up, A time to tear and a time to mend, A time to be silent and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate, A time for war and a time for peace.
[God] has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere Him.
So I saw that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot from God.
