For everything there is an appointed time, even a time for every affair under the heavens: 2a time for birth and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot what was planted; 3a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build; 4a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to wail and a time to skip about; 5a time to throw stones away and a time to bring stones together; a time to embrace and a time to keep away from embracing; 6a time to seek and a time to give up as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away; 7a time to rip apart and a time to sew together; a time to keep quiet and a time to speak; 8a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace. 9What advantage is therefor the doer in what he is working hard at? 101 have seen the occupation that God has given to the sons of mankind in which to be occupied. IIEverything he has made put in their heart, that mankind may never find out the work that the (true) God has made from the start to the finish. 121 have come to know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good during ones life;
Ecclesiastes 3:1-12
