Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.

2A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.

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 grieve and a time to dance.

5A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away.

6A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away.

7A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak.

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