Ветхий Завет (Библия), Книга Екклесиаста, по преданию, написана, мудрым царем Соломоном (гл. 3, ст., 1—8)

For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
time to be born,
And a time to die; 
time to plant,
And a time to pluck up that which 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 cast 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 cast 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.
