Ecclesiastes 3:1-10 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven.

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. A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build.

4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.

5. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

6. A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away.

7. A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

8. A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.

9. What hath man more of his labour?

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