New King James Version

Ecclesiastes 3:6-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

6. A time to gain,And a time to lose;A time to keep,And a time to throw away;

7. A time to tear,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 has the worker from that in which he labors?

10. I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied.

11. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
