(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
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 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.
