Ecclesiastes 3

Qohelet declares that for everything there is an appointed time under heaven, listing 14 pairs of opposites such as a time to be born and to die, to kill and to heal, to weep and to laugh, reflecting the cyclic order of life under divine sovereignty[1][2][3]. He observes the permanence of God's works, humanity's eternity in the heart yet inability to fathom it, injustice under the sun, the common fate of humans and beasts in death, and the certainty of divine judgment for every deed[1][2][4][6].
