A season is set for everything,
a time for every experience under heaven:
A time for being born and a time for dying
A time for planting and a time for uprooting the planted
A time for slaying and a time for healing
A time for tearing down and a time for building up
A time for weeping and a time for laughing
A time for wailing and a time for dancing
A time for throwing stones and a time for gathering stone
A time for embracing and a time for shunning embraces
A time for seeking and a time for losing
A time for keeping and a time for discarding
A time for ripping and a time for sewing
A time for silence and a time for speaking
A time for loving and a time for hating
A time for war and a time for peace
These are the things YHWH gave man to be concerned with.
He brings everything to pass precisely at its time.
He puts the idea of eternity in our minds without us knowing it,
from the beginning to the end, He brings all things to pass.
Lets do what is good in our lifetime
and realize that what we have (food, water, shelter)
is a gift from YHWH.
He tends always to our needs.
Whatever He brings to pass will recur evermore:
Nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it
and He does what He says so that man shall revere Him.
What is happening has happened long since
and what it to occur occurred long since.
Alongside justice and righteousness there is wickedness.
All the labor and skillful enterprise come from
men's envy of each other
(nothing more than the chasing of the wind)
Better a poor but wise youth
than an old but foolish king
who no longer has the sense
to heed warnings.
