Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

For everything there is a season,
and a time for every purpose under 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 to 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 seek, 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 for war, and a time for peace.
