Times And Seasons ( Holy Still)

TIMES  AND  SEASONS

Eccl.3:1-17

Whatever GOD does is forever

I know it shall be forever.

Nothing can be added to it,

And nothing taken from it.

It is GOD who does it,

So fear and honor Him

Whatever GOD does is forever

And all has already been

That which is now

And what is to be

And GOD requires an account

Of what is past.

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, 

And a time to die;  

A time to plant, 

And a time to uproot

A time to embrace, 

And a time to reject

A time to love,  

And a time to hate;

A time to break down, 

And a time to build up;

A time to keep,  

And a time to discard

A time to weep,  

And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,  

And a time to dance;

A time to gain,  

And a time to lose;

A time to tear,  

And a time to sew;

A time to keep silence,  

And a time to speak;

A time to throw stones, 

And a time to gather them;

A time of war,  

And a time of peace;

A time to kill,  

And a time to heal.

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under the heaven

I saw under the sun

I saw under the sun

In the place of judgment, 

Wickedness was there;  

And in the place of righteousness,

Iniquity was there.

And I said in my heart

And I said in my heart

“GOD shall judge the righteous

And He shall judge the wicked,

For there is a time and season for

Every purpose and for every work.”

A time to be born, 

And a time to die;

A time to plant, 

And a time to uproot

A time to embrace, 

And a time to reject

A time to love,  

And a time to hate;

A time to break down, 

And a time to build up;

A time to keep,  

And a time to discard

A time to weep,  

And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,  

And a time to dance;

A time to gain,  

And a time to lose;

A time to tear,  

And a time to sew;

A time to keep silence,  

And a time to speak;

A time to throw stones, 

And a time to gather them;

A time of war,  

And a time of peace;

A time to kill,  

And a time to heal.

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under the heaven

1.25

ECCLISIASTES  3  (KJV)

1  To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

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 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

⁴ A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

⁵ A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

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.

¹³ And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of GOD.

¹⁴ I know that, whatsoever GOD doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and GOD doeth it, that men should fear before Him.

¹⁵ That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and GOD requireth that which is past.

¹⁶ And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

¹⁷ I said in mine heart, GOD shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
