To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven;
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to sow, and a time to harvest;
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 mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; 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 throw away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be quiet, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
