Ecclesiastes 3:7-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

7. a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

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

9. What benefit does the worker have in his toil?

10. I have seen the task that God has given to sons of men to be concerned with.

11. He has made everything beautiful in its appropriate time. He has also put obscurity in their hearts so that no one comes to know the work that God has done from the beginning to the end.

12. I experienced that there is nothing better for them than to be glad and do good in their life.

13. And also that everyone should eat and drink and experience good in all their labor. This is a gift of God.

14. I have perceived that everything that God has done will be lasting. And to this there is nothing to be added, and from it there is nothing to be taken away. And God has done this so that in His presence men fear Him.
