There is time for everything

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens:

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 from embracing, 
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
