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 weep,
- And a time to laugh;
- A time to mourn,
- And a time to dance;
- 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 throw away;
- A time to tear,
- And a time to sew;
- A time to keep silence,
- And a time to speak;
- A time to love,
- And a time to hate;
- A time of war,
- And a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1‭-‬8 NKJV
