For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
time to be born, and a time to die;
time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
time to kill, and a time to heal;
time to break down, and a time to build up;
time to weep, and a time to laugh;
time to mourn, and a time to dance;
time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
time to seek, and a time to lose;
time to keep, and a time to throw away;
time to tear, and a time to sew;
time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
time to love, and a time to hate,
time for war, and a time for peace.
