To Everything There is a Season

To everything there is a season

A time for every purpose under Heaven

A time to be born

and a time to die

A time to plant

and a time to pluck what 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 cast away stones

and a time to gather stones

A time to embrace

and a time to refrain from embracing

A time to gain

and a time to lose

A time to keep

and a time to cast away

A time to tear

and a time to sew

A time to keep silence

and a time to speak

A time of love

and a time of hate

A time of war

and a time of peace
