Eclesiastes 3

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 rent, 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.
