Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1Everything has its own time, and there is a specific time for every activity under heaven:

2a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pull out what was planted,

3a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build up,

4a time to cry and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to hug and a time to stop hugging,

6a time to start looking and a time to stop looking, 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 quiet and a time to speak out,

8a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
