To everything 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.
