Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven—

2A time to be born and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.

3A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up.

4A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance.

5A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.

6A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away.

7A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to keep silent and a time to speak.

8A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace.
