1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to seek, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to cast away;
7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
