1. There’s a season for everythingand a time for every matter under the heavens:
2. a time for giving birth and a time for dying,a time for planting and a time for uprooting what was planted,
3. a time for killing and a time for healing,a time for tearing down and a time for building up,
4. a time for crying and a time for laughing,a time for mourning and a time for dancing,
5. a time for throwing stones and a time for gathering stones,a time for embracing and a time for avoiding embraces,
6. a time for searching and a time for losing,a time for keeping and a time for throwing away,
7. a time for tearing and a time for repairing,a time for keeping silent and a time for speaking,
8. a time for loving and a time for hating,a time for war and a time for peace.
