Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV)
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: ~a time to be born and a time to die, ~a time to plant and a time to uproot, ~a time to kill and a time to heal, ~a time to tear down and a time to build, ~a time to weep and a time to laugh, ~a time to mourn and a time to dance, ~a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, ~a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, -a time to search and a time to give up, ~a time to keep and a time to throw away, ~a time to tear and a time to mend, ~a time to be silent and a time to speak, ~a time to love and a time to hate,
~a time for war and a time for peace.”
