2:24. Is it not better to eat and drink, and to shew his soul good
things of his labours? and this is from the hand of God.
2:25. Who shall so feast and abound with delights as I?
2:26. God hath given to a man that is good in his sight, wisdom, and
knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he hath given vexation, and
superfluous care, to heap up and to gather together, and to give it to
him that hath pleased God: but this also is vanity, and a fruitless
solicitude of the mind.
Ecclesiastes Chapter 3
All human things are liable to perpetual changes. We are to rest on
God's providence, and cast away fruitless cares.
3:1. All things have their season, and in their times all things pass
under heaven.
3:2. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to
pluck up that which is planted.
3:3. A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time
to build.
3:4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to
dance.
3:5. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace,
and a time to be far from embraces.
3:6. A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to
cast away.
3:7. A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a
time to speak.
3:8. A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of
peace.
3:9. What hath man more of his labour?
3:10. I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to
be exercised in it.
3:11. He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the
world to their consideration, so that man cannot find out the work which
God hath made from the beginning to the end.
3:12. And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice,
and to do well in this life.
3:13. For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his
labour, this is the gift of God.
3:14. I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue
for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which
God hath made that he may be feared.
3:15. That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that
shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past.
3:16. I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in
the place of justice iniquity.
3:17. And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the
wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing.
3:18. I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would
prove them, and shew them to be like beasts.
3:19. Therefore the death of man, and of beasts is one, and the
condition of them both is equal: as man dieth, so they also die: all
things breathe alike, and man hath nothing more than beast: all things
are subject to vanity.
Man hath nothing more, etc... Viz., as to the life of the body.
3:20. And all things go to one place: of earth they were made, and into
earth they return together.
