Ecclesiastes 3:6-12 New International Version (NIV)

6. a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7. a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8. a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

9. What do workers gain from their toil?

10. I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race.

11. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

12. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.
