Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

To every thing there is a season, and a time for

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.
