Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1For everything there is an appointed time, and an appropriate time for every activity on earth:

2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what was planted;

3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break 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 something up as lost; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;

7A time to rip, and a time to sew; 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.
