• For everything there is a season,
  And a time for every matter under heaven:
  A time to be born, and a time to die;
  A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what 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 throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
  A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
  A time to seek, and a time to lose;
  A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
  A time to tear, 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 for war, and a time for peace.
