Narrative:

Climbing to FL390 passing FL340 told by center to stop climb and turn right to 010 degrees. TCASII alert to stop climb then alert to descend. Told by center to turn left to 310 degrees then to 290 degrees. In descent another TCASII alert to stop descent. Traffic below us at 1400 ft below our altitude. Told to descend to FL310. Then clear of conflict and instructed to change to another ZJX frequency.
