4: a season [G2540] the [G3588] to weep [G2799], and [G2532] a season [G2540] the [G3588] to laugh [G1070]; a season [G2540] the [G3588] to lament [G2875], and [G2532] a season [G2540] the [G3588] to dance [G3738];
5: a season [G2540] the [G3588] to throw stones [G3037], and [G2532] a season [G2540] the [G3588] to gather [G4863] stones [G3037]; a season [G2540] the [G3588] to embrace , and [G2532] a season [G2540] the [G3588] to be far from embrace ;
6: a season [G2540] the [G3588] to seek [G2212], and [G2532] a season [G2540] the [G3588] to lose ; a season [G2540] the [G3588] to keep [G5442], and [G2532] a season [G2540] the [G3588] to cast out [G1544];

9: What [G5100] advantage [G4050] of the [G3588] [one] doing [things] [G4160] in [G1722] which [G3739] he [G1473] makes an effort ?
10: I saw [G1492] with [G4862] the [G3588] distraction which [G3739] God gave [G1325] the [G3588][G2316] to the [G3588] sons [G5207] of the [G3588] men the [G3588] to be distracting [G4049] to [G1722] him [G1473].
11: All which [G3739] he made [G4160] [is] good [G2570] in [G1722] his season [G2540][G1473]; and [G2532] indeed [G1065] with [G4862] the [G3588] age (term) ` he gave [G1325] in [G1722] their heart [G2588][G1473], so that [G3704] should not [G3361] find [G2147] the [G3588] man the [G3588] action [G4161] which [G3739] God did [G4160] the [G3588][G2316] from beginning till [G3360] end [G5056].
12: I knew [G1097] that [G3754] there not [G3756] is good in [G1722] them [G1473], except [G1508] the [G3588] to be glad [G2165] and [G2532] the [G3588] to do [G4160] good in [G1722] his life [G2222][G1473].
13: And [G2532] indeed [G1065], every [G3956] the [G3588] man who [G3739] will eat [G2068] and [G2532] will drink [G4095] and [G2532] should look [at] [G1492] good in [G1722] all [G3956] his effort [G3449][G1473] -- a gift [G1390] of God '[G2316] it is .
14: I knew [G1097] that [G3754] all [things] [G3956] as many as [G3745] God did [G4160] the [G3588][G2316], they [G1473] will be into [G1519] the [G3588] age (term) `. Unto [G1909] them [G1473] it not [G3756] is to add [G4369], and [G2532] from them [G1473] it not [G3756] is to remove . And [G2532] the [G3588] God '[G2316] did [G4160] that [G2443] they should fear [G5399] from in front [G4383] of him [G1473].
15: the [thing] [G3588] becoming [G1096], already [G2235] is ; and [G2532] as much as [G3745] the [G3588]re is to be [G1096], already [G2235] has become [G1096]; and [G2532] the [G3588] God '[G2316] will seek [G2212] the [thing] [G3588] pursuing [G1377].
16: And [G2532] still [G2089] I looked [at] [G1492] under [G5259] the [G3588] sun [G2246] place [G5117] of of the [G3588] judgment [G2920] -- there [G1563] the [G3588] impious [one ; and [G2532] a place [G5117] of the [G3588] just [G1342] -- there [was [G1563] the [G3588] pious [one [G2152].
17: I said [G2036][G1473] in [G1722] my heart [G2588][G1473], With [G4862] the [G3588] just [G1342] and [G2532] with [G4862] the [G3588] impious , God will judge [G2919] the [G3588][G2316], for [G3754] [there is] a season [G2540] for the [G3588] every [G3956] thing [G4229], and [G2532] for [G1909] every [G3956] the [G3588] action [G4161] there [G1563].
18: I said [G2036][G1473] in [G1722] my heart [G2588][G1473], concerning [G4012] speech [G2981] of the [G3588] sons [G5207] of the [G3588] man , that [G3754] will examine [G1252] them [G1473] the [G3588] God '[G2316], and [G2532] the [G3588] to show [G1166] that [G3754] they [G1473] are beasts [G2934].
19: And [G2532] indeed [G1065] to them [G1473] event of sons [G5207] of the [G3588] man , and [G2532] event of the [G3588] beast [G2934] [is] event one [G1520] to them [G1473]; as [G5613] the [G3588] death [G2288] of this [one [G3778], so [G3779] also [G2532] the [G3588] death [G2288] of this [other one [G3778]; and [G2532] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] one [G1520] the [G3588] to all [G3956]. And [G2532] what [G5100] abounded [G4052] the [G3588] man more than [G3844] the [G3588] cattle [G2934]? Nothing [G3762]. For [G3754] all [things] the [G3588][G3956] [are] folly [G3153].
20: All [things] the [G3588][G3956] go [G4198] to [G1519] place [G5117] one [G1520]; all [things] the [G3588][G3956] came [G1096] from the [G3588] dirt [G5522], and [G2532] all [things] the [G3588][G3956] return [G1994] to [G1519] the [G3588] dirt [G5522].
21: And [G2532] who [G5100] has known [G1492] the [G3588] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] of sons [G5207] of the [G3588] man , if [G1487] it ascends itself [G1473] upward ? and [G2532] the [G3588] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] of the [G3588] beast [G2934], if [G1487] it goes down [G2597] itself [G1473] below [G2736] into [G1519] the [G3588] land '[G1093]?
22: And [G2532] I saw [G1492] that [G3754] there is no [G3756] good , except [G1508] where [G3739] will be glad [G2165] man in [G1722] his actions [G4161][G1473]; for [G3754] it [is [G1473] his portion [G3310][G1473]. For [G3754] who [G5100] will convey ' him [G1473] the [G3588] to see [G1492] in [G1722] what [G3739] ever should take place [G1096] after [G3326] him [G1473]?
