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,
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 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 to love, and
a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
