Kaz 3, 1-22

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 "A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; " 3 "A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; " 4 "A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; " 5 "A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; " 6 "A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; " 7 "A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; " 8 "A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. " 9 What profit has he that works in that wherein he labours? 10 I have seen the travail, which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11 He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end. 12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God does, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God does it, that men should fear before him. 15 "That which has been is now; and that which is to be has already been; and God requires that which is past. " 16 "And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. " 17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19 "For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. " 20 "All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. " 21 Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that goes downward to the earth? 22 "Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? "

Verš 9

What profit has he that works in that wherein he labours?

Kaz 1:3 - What profit has a man of all his labour which he takes under the sun?

Verš 20

"All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. "

Gn 3:19 - "In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, till you return unto the ground; for out of it were you taken: for dust you are, and unto dust shall you return. "

Verš 5

"A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; "

1Kor 7:5 - "Defraud all of you not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that all of you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. "

Kaz 3,1-9 - Kazateľ uvádza mnoho prípadov z ľudského života, na ktorých každý vidí, že všetky udalosti ľudského života podliehajú zákonitosti, ktorou Boh nezmeniteľne spravuje všetko na svete.

Kaz 3,5 - Porov. 2 Kr 3,25; Iz 5,2.

Kaz 3,9 - Porov. 1,1–8.

Kaz 3,11 - Verš svojou osnovou pôsobí značné ťažkosti pre výklad. Vg prekladá "svet vydal ich hádaniu (ich hádkam)".

Kaz 3,12 - Porov. 2,24.

Kaz 3,14 - Nie jednotlivé Božie diela sú nezničiteľné, ale zákony prírody ostávajú trvalo tie isté a nezmeniteľné. Boh je pôvodcom týchto zákonov. Táto večnosť Božieho zákona vedie človeka k bázni Božej (porov. Sir 18,5–6).

Kaz 3,15 - "Boh sa vie vypomstiť za prenasledovaného." Vg.: "Boh obnovuje, čo sa pominulo", t. j. akoby sa Boh časom vracal na cesty, ktoré zdanlivo opustil. Hebr. text poukazuje však na večnú spravodlivosť Božiu: dopustí aj neprávosť, ale súčasne bdie nad mravným poriadkom, ktorý vytvorila jeho svätá vôľa.

Kaz 3,19 - Práve tak ako človek podriaďujú sa zákonu pominuteľnosti aj zvieratá. (Iba v tomto zmysle je človek rovný zvieraťu.) Dych života rovnako uniká pri smrti, či hovoríme o ľuďoch alebo o zvieratách. Nesmrteľnosť ľudskej duše nie je na tomto mieste dotknutá, lebo keď ju Kazateľ aj výslovne nehlása, v ničom ju nepopiera. Inde však (9,10) aj Kazateľ spomína, že duša človeka zostupuje do podsvetia (šeolu), kde už niet radosti. S týmto náhľadom sa stretáme aj v žalme 104,29–30.

Kaz 3,21 - V dobe Kazateľovej ujímal sa náhľad, že životný dych ľudí vystupuje k Bohu, kým dych zvierat zostupuje pod zem.
