Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

To everything 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

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.
