1 For, every thing, there is a season,and a time for every pursuit, under the heavens:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die,A time to plant, and a time to uproot what 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 wail, and a time to dance for joy;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to heap up stones,A time to embrace, and a time to be far from loving embrace;

6 A time to seek, and a time to give up as lost,A time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew,A time to be silent, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love and a time to hate,A time of war, and a time of peace.
