Ecclesiastes 3:1-2; 5; 8

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born and a time to die;

. . . A time to embrace, and a time refrain from embracing;

. . . A time for war and a time for peace."

Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

"I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to get pleasure so long as they live. But also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy pleasure for all his labour, is the gift of God."
