1 Всѣ̑мъ вре́мѧ и҆ вре́мѧ всѧ́цѣй ве́щи под̾ небесе́мъ: 2 вре́мѧ ражда́ти и҆ вре́мѧ ᲂу҆мира́ти, вре́мѧ сади́ти и҆ вре́мѧ и҆сторга́ти сажде́ное, 3 вре́мѧ ᲂу҆бива́ти и҆ вре́мѧ цѣли́ти, вре́мѧ разрꙋша́ти и҆ вре́мѧ созида́ти, 4 вре́мѧ пла́кати и҆ вре́мѧ смѣѧ́тисѧ, вре́мѧ рыда́ти и҆ вре́мѧ ликова́ти, 5 вре́мѧ размета́ти ка́менїе и҆ вре́мѧ собира́ти ка́менїе, вре́мѧ ѡ҆быма́ти и҆ вре́мѧ ᲂу҆далѧ́тисѧ ѿ ѡ҆быма́нїѧ, 6 вре́мѧ и҆ска́ти и҆ вре́мѧ погꙋблѧ́ти, вре́мѧ храни́ти и҆ вре́мѧ ѿрѣ́ѧти, 7 вре́мѧ раздра́ти и҆ вре́мѧ сши́ти, вре́мѧ молча́ти и҆ вре́мѧ глаго́лати, 8 вре́мѧ люби́ти и҆ вре́мѧ ненави́дѣти, вре́мѧ бра́ни и҆ вре́мѧ ми́ра. 9 Ко́е и҆з̾ѻби́лїе творѧ́щагѡ, въ ни́хже са́мъ трꙋди́тсѧ; 10 Ви́дѣхъ попече́нїе всѧ́ческое, є҆́же дадѐ бг҃ъ сынѡ́мъ человѣ́чєскимъ, є҆́же пещи́сѧ въ не́мъ. 11 Всѧ́чєскаѧ, ꙗ҆̀же сотворѝ, дѡбра̀ (сꙋ́ть) во вре́мѧ своѐ, и҆́бо всѧ́кїй вѣ́къ да́лъ є҆́сть въ се́рдце и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да не ѡ҆брѧ́щетъ человѣ́къ сотворе́нїѧ, є҆́же сотворѝ бг҃ъ ѿ нача́ла и҆ да́же до конца̀. 12 Оу҆разꙋмѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть бла́го въ ни́хъ, но то́кмѡ є҆́же весели́тисѧ и҆ є҆́же твори́ти бла́го въ животѣ̀ свое́мъ: 13 и҆́бо всѧ́къ человѣ́къ, и҆́же ꙗ҆́стъ и҆ пїе́тъ и҆ ви́дитъ благо́е во все́мъ трꙋдѣ̀ свое́мъ, сїѐ даѧ́нїе бж҃їе є҆́сть. 14 Разꙋмѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка сотворѝ бг҃ъ, сїѧ̑ бꙋ́дꙋтъ во вѣ́къ: къ тѣ̑мъ нѣ́сть приложи́ти и҆ ѿ тѣ́хъ нѣ́сть ѿѧ́ти, и҆ бг҃ъ сотворѝ, да ᲂу҆боѧ́тсѧ ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀: 15 бы́вшее ᲂу҆жѐ є҆́сть, и҆ є҆ли̑ка и҆́мꙋтъ бы́ти, ᲂу҆жѐ бы́ша, и҆ бг҃ъ взы́щетъ гони́маго. 16 И҆ є҆щѐ ви́дѣхъ под̾ со́лнцемъ мѣ́сто сꙋда̀, та́мѡ нечести́вый, и҆ мѣ́сто првⷣнагѡ, та́мѡ бл҃гочести́вый. 17 И҆ рѣ́хъ а҆́зъ въ се́рдцы мое́мъ: првⷣнаго и҆ нечести́ваго сꙋ́дитъ бг҃ъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́мѧ всѧ́цѣй ве́щи и҆ на всѧ́цѣмъ сотворе́нїи та́мѡ. 18 Рѣ́хъ а҆́зъ въ се́рдцы мое́мъ ѡ҆ глаго́ланїи сынѡ́въ человѣ́ческихъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ разсꙋ́дитъ и҆̀хъ бг҃ъ: и҆ є҆́же показа́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ сі́и ско́ти сꙋ́ть: 19 и҆́бо и҆ тѣ̑мъ ꙗ҆́коже слꙋ́чай сынѡ́въ человѣ́ческихъ и҆ слꙋ́чай ско́тскїй, слꙋ́чай є҆ди́нъ и҆̀мъ: ꙗ҆́коже сме́рть тогѡ̀, та́кѡ и҆ сме́рть сегѡ̀, и҆ дꙋ́хъ є҆ди́нъ во всѣ́хъ: и҆ что̀ и҆зли́шше и҆́мать человѣ́къ па́че скота̀; ничто́же: ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́чєскаѧ сꙋета̀. 20 Всѧ̑ и҆́дꙋтъ во є҆ди́но мѣ́сто: всѧ̑ бы́ша ѿ пе́рсти и҆ всѧ̑ въ пе́рсть возвраща́ютсѧ. 21 И҆ кто̀ вѣ́сть дꙋ́хъ сынѡ́въ человѣ́ческихъ, а҆́ще то́й восхо́дитъ горѣ̀; и҆ дꙋ́хъ ско́тскїй, а҆́ще низхо́дитъ то́й до́лꙋ въ зе́млю; 22 И҆ ви́дѣхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть бла́го, но то́кмѡ є҆́же возвесели́тсѧ человѣ́къ въ творе́нїихъ свои́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сїѧ̀ ча́сть є҆гѡ̀: поне́же кто̀ приведе́тъ є҆го̀ ви́дѣти то̀, є҆́же бꙋ́детъ по не́мъ;

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 3:21 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIII, Chapters 21–23)

    … knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?" or of beast, as in the book of Solomon, "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?" or of that physical spirit which is called wind, for so the Psalmist calls it: …

  2. Quotes verse 3:2 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XX)

    And what Solomon spoke of others will suit you also; for he said, in that case, There is a time to bear and a time to die; but to you, in the reverse order, there was a time to die and a time to be born; and one and the same time effected both of these, and your birth …

  3. Quotes verse 3:1 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The First Theological Oration)

    As of even honey repletion and satiety, though it be of honey, produce vomiting; and, as Solomon says and I think, there is a time for every thing, and that which is good ceases to be good if it be not done in a good way; just as a flower is quite out of season in winter, and just as …

  4. Quotes verse 3:7 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters XXVIII–XXIX)

    Or perhaps this was the time for silence spoken of by Solomon the wise. For, when life is buffeted by so fierce a storm that all the intelligence of those who are instructed in the word is filled with the deceit of false reasoning and confounded, like an eye filled with dust, when men are stunned by strange and awful …

  5. Quotes verse 3:5 Augustine of Hippo, On Christian Doctrine (Book III, Chapters 17–21)

    And, accordingly, if these last had been still alive at the advent of our Lord, when the time not of casting stones away but of gathering them together had come, they would have immediately made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.
