Bible Verses about 'Ecclesiastes 3'
- To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven. - He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
- I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
- Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.
- Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor. - For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up. - Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken. - When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed. - He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity. - When goods increase,
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes? - As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return,
To go as he came;
And he shall take nothing from his labor
Which he may carry away in his hand. - Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage.
- As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
- Do not say,
“Why were the former days better than these?”
For you do not inquire wisely concerning this. - In the day of prosperity be joyful,
But in the day of adversity consider:
Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other,
So that man can find out nothing that will come after him. - For there is not a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin. - Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
- Go, eat your bread with joy,
And drink your wine with a merry heart;
For God has already accepted your works. - The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious,
But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up. - As you do not know what is the way of the wind,
Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything. - Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
And put away evil from your flesh,
For childhood and youth are vanity. - Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,
Before the difficult days come,
And the years draw near when you say,
“I have no pleasure in them” - Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God and keep His commandments,
For this is man’s all. - For in much wisdom is much grief,
And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
