Ecclesiastes 3:6-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
6
A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7
A time to tear 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 benefit
is there for
the worker
from that
in which he labors?
10
I have seen the task which God has given the sons of mankind with which to occupy themselves.
11
He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without
the possibility that
mankind will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
12
I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime;
King James Version
Chapter 3
6
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
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.
12
I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
6
a time to search and a time to count as lost;
a time to keep and a time to throw away;
7
a time to tear and a time to sew;
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 does the worker gain from his struggles?
10
I have seen the task that God has given the children of Adam to keep them occupied.
11
He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end.
12
I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and enjoy the good life.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
6
A time to search and a time to quit searching.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7
A time to tear and a time to mend.
A time to be quiet 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 do people really get for all their hard work?
10
I have seen the burden God has placed on us all.
11
Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
12
So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can.
