To everything
there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. A time to be born
and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot; 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 scatter stones
and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace and a time to refrain
from embracing. A time to seek and 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 silent and a time
to speak; a time of love and a time of hate; a time for war and a time for
peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
