For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
3:2 a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3:3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
3:4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
3:5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
3:6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
3:7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
3:8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
