Ecclesiastes 3:4-11 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

4. He sets the time for sorrow and the time for joy,the time for mourning and the time for dancing,

5. the time for making love and the time for not making love,the time for kissing and the time for not kissing.

6. He sets the time for finding and the time for losing,the time for saving and the time for throwing away,

7. the time for tearing and the time for mending,the time for silence and the time for talk.

8. He sets the time for love and the time for hate,the time for war and the time for peace.

9. What do we gain from all our work?

10. I know the heavy burdens that God has laid on us.

11. He has set the right time for everything. He has given us a desire to know the future, but never gives us the satisfaction of fully understanding what he does.
