Ecclesiastes 3:1-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. There is an occasion for everything,and a time for every activity under heaven:

2. a time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot;

3. a time to kill and a time to heal;a time to tear down 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 to embrace and a time to avoid embracing;

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 people to keep them occupied.
