Scripture

Ecclesiastes 3:1–8

To everything is a season, and a time to every purpose under Heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which was planted:
A time to kill and a time to heal: a time to break down, a time to build up:
A time to weep, and a time to laugh: time to mourn, a time to dance:
A time to cast stones, a time to gather stones together; 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 cast away:
A time to reap, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time of peace.
