To every
thing
there is
a season, and a time to every
purpose under the
heaven: A
time to
be born,
and a
time to
die; a
time to
plant, and a time to pluck up that
which is
planted; A
time to
kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down,
and a
time to
build up; A
time to
weep, and a time to
laugh; a
time to
mourn, and a time to
dance; A
time to
cast away stones,
and a
time to
gather stones together;
a time
to embrace, and a time to refrain
from embracing; A
time to
get, and
a time
to lose;
a time
to keep,
and a
time to
cast away; A
time to
rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence,
and a
time to
speak; A
time to
love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
