Ecclesiastes 3:9 in Context — Ecclesiastes 3

7 un temps pour déchirer, et un temps pour coudre; un temps pour se taire, et un temps pour parler;

8 un temps pour aimer, et un temps pour haïr; un temps pour la guerre, et un temps pour la paix.

9 Quel avantage celui qui travaille retire-t-il de sa peine?

10 J’ai vu à quelle occupation Dieu soumet les fils de l’homme.

11 Il fait toute chose bonne en son temps; même il a mis dans leur cœur la pensée de l’éternité, bien que l’homme ne puisse pas saisir l’œuvre que Dieu fait, du commencement jusqu’à la fin.
