Eccl. 3:1-17 (31 in 17 verses)

 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

 3:5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

 3:6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

 3:7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

 3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

 3:9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

 3:10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

 3:11 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.

 3:12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

 3:14 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.

 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

 3:16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

 3:17 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.
