Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 30+ TLB


Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 There is a right time for everything:

A time to be born; A time to die; A time to plant; A time to harvest:

A time to kill; A time to heal; A time to destroy; A time to rebuild;

A time to cry; A time to laugh; A time to grieve; A time to dance;

A time for scattering stones; A time for gathering stones; A time to hug; A time not to hug;

A time to find; A time to lose; A time for keeping; A time for throwing away;

A time to tear; A time to repair; A time to be quiet; A time to speak up;

A time for loving; A time for hating; A time for war; A time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:16-17 Moreover, I noticed that throughout the earth justice is giving way to crime, and even the police courts are corrupt.

I said to myself, "In due season God will judge everything man does, both good and bad."

Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 So I decided that there was nothing better for a man to do than to enjoy his food and drink and his job. Then I realized that even this pleasure is from the hand of God. For who can eat or enjoy apart from him? For God gives those who please him wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but if a sinner becomes wealthy, God takes the wealth away from him and gives it to those who please him. So here, too, we see an example of foolishly chasing the wind.

Ecclesiastes 8:6-7 Yes, there is a time and a way for everything, though man's trouble lies heavy upon him; for how can he avoid what he doesn't know its going to happen?

Genesis 37:29-33 Some time later, Reuben (who was away when the traders came by) returned to get Joseph out of the well. When Joseph wasn't there, he ripped at his clothes in anguish and frustration.

"The child is gone; and I, where shall I go now?" he wet to his brothers.

Then the brothers killed a goat and spattered its blood on Joseph's coat,

and took the coat to their father and asked him to identify it.

"We found this in the field" they told him "Is it Joseph's coat or not?

Their father recognized it at once.

Exodus 15:20-21 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine and led the women in dances.

And Miriam sang this song: Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and rider have been drowned in the sea.

Exodus 20:12-17 " Honor your father and mother, that you may have a long, good life in the land the Lord your God will give you.

You must not murder.

You must not commit adultery.

You must not steal.

You must not lie.

"You must not be envious of your neighbor's house, or want to sleep with his wife, or want to own his slaves, oxen, donkeys, or anything else he has."

Esther 4:14 If you keep quiet at a time like this, God will deliver the Jews from some other source, but you and your relatives will die; what's more, who can say but that God has brought you into the palace for just such a time as this?"

2 Samuel 3:31-32 Then David said to Joab and to all those who were with him, "Go into deep mourning for Abner." And King David accompanied the bier to the cemetery.

They buried Abner in Hebron. And the king and all the people wept at the graveside.

2 Samuel 11:1 In the spring of the following year, at the time when wars begin, David sent Joab and the Israeli army to destroy the Ammonites. They began by laying siege to the city of Rabbah. But David stayed in Jerusalem.
