Solomon: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (To Everything There Is A Season)

 

To everything there is a season,

and a time to every purpose under the heavens:



 

A time to be born, and a time to die;

a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;



 

A time to kill, and a time to heal;

a time to break down, and a time to build up;



 

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;

a time to mourn, and a time to dance;



 

A time to cast away stones,

and 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 rend, 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 of war, and a time of peace.
