(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.
