New Testament

Kohelet 3:8-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

8. An et (season) to love, and an et (season) to hate; an et (season) of milchamah, and an et (season) of shalom.

9. What profit hath the worker from his amal (labor)?

10. I have seen the occupation, which Elohim hath given to the bnei HaAdam to keep them occupied.

11. Hashem hath made every thing yafeh in its et (season); also He hath set HaOlam in their lev, yet so that no adam can find out the ma'aseh that HaElohim hath done from the beginning to the end.

12. I have da'as that there is nothing better for adam, than that they have simchah and do tov while they live.

13. And also that kol haAdam should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his amal. This is a gift of Elohim.

14. I have da'as that, all that HaElohim doeth will endure l'olam; nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it; HaElohim doeth it, that men should fear before Him.
