Ecclesiastes study chapter

Ecclesiastes 3

c. 935 BC“For everything there is a season”; God makes all beautiful in its time and sets eternity in the heart.

The famous poem declares that “for everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven,” a time to be born and to die, to weep and to laugh, to keep and to cast away. God has made everything beautiful in its time and “put eternity into man’s heart,” yet man cannot grasp the whole of God’s work. So the Preacher again commends enjoying God’s gifts, trusting that what God does endures forever and that He will judge the righteous and the wicked.
