Ecclesiastes
3:1-8 (NKJV)
[1]
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
[2
A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
[3]
A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
[4]
A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
[5]
A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
[6]
A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
[7]
A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
[8]
A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.
