To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the 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, 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 get, 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 of love, and a time of
hate, a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
