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.
9. What gain has the worker from his toil?
