「传道者说：虚空的虚空，虚空的虚空，凡事都是虚空。」（传道书1:2）
- 1
凡事都有定期，天下万务都有定时。
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: - 2
生有时，死有时；栽种有时，拔出所栽种的也有时；
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, - 3
杀戮有时，医治有时；拆毁有时，建造有时；
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, - 4
哭有时，笑有时；哀恸有时，跳舞有时；
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, - 5
抛掷石头有时，堆聚石头有时；怀抱有时，不怀抱有时；
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, - 6
寻找有时，失落有时；保守有时，舍弃有时；
a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, - 7
撕裂有时，缝补有时；静默有时，言语有时；
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, - 8
喜爱有时，恨恶有时；争战有时，和好有时。
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. - 9
这样看来，作事的人在他的劳碌上有什么益处呢？
What does the worker gain from his toil? - 10
我见 神叫世人劳苦，使他们在其中受经练。
I have seen the burden God has laid on men. - 11
神造万物，各按其时成为美好，又将永生安置在世人心里（“永生”原文作“永远”）。然而 神从始至终的作为，人不能参透。
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
