Ecclesiastes 3:1

← Ecclesiastes 2:26	Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)	Ecclesiastes 3:2 →
For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.	To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:	A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;
