There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

a time to be born and a time to die, 

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal, 

                   a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh, 

                  a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, 

                  a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up, 

                  a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend, 

                  a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate, 

                  a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
