Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens:

and a time to die,

and a time to uproot,

a time to kill 

a time to tear down

a time to weep 

a time to mourn 

a time to scatter stones 

and a time to refrain from embracing,

and a time to give up,

and a time to throw away,

a time to tear 

and a time to speak,

a time for war 

and a time to hate,

a time to plant 

a time to be born 

and a time to heal,

 and a time to build,

and a time to laugh,

and a time to dance,

a time to love 

a time to search 

and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace 

a time to keep 

and a time to mend,

a time to be silent 

and a time for peace.
