Ecclesiastes 3:1
Eccl. 3:1-8
1.
There is a season for everything,
And a [right] time for eveything under heaven.
2.
A time to be born, and a time to die,
[A time for birth, and a time for death.]
A time to plant, and a time pulling up what has been planted.
[A time for planting, and a time for harvest.]
3.
A time to kill, and a time to heal.
A time to break down, and a time to build up.
[A time for tearing down, and a time for building.]
4.
A time to weep, and a time to laugh.
A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5.
A time to throw stones away, and a time to gather stones together.
A time to embrace, and a time not to embrace.
[A time to hug, and a time for parting.]
6.
A time to a search for things, and a time to give up searching.
[A time to look for things, and a time to give up as lost.]
A time to keep, and a time to throw away.
7.
A time to tear apart, and a time to mend together.
A time to keep quiet, and a time to speak up.
[A time to listen, and a time to speak.]
8.
A time to love, and a time to hate.
A time for war, and a time for peace.
