« Ecclesiastes 2 | Ecclesiastes 3 | Ecclesiastes 4 »

A Time for Everything
  3:1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
2
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up 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 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; 8
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
