2. A time to give birth, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.
3. A time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to tear down, and a time to build.
4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.
6. A time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
7. A time to rend, and a time to sew;a time to be silent, and a time to speak.
8. A time to love, and a time to hate;a time of war, and a time of peace.
9. What profit have workers from their toil?
