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;
