To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven A time to plant, and a time to reap; 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, 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 tear and a time to sew A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; To everything there is a season, A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven. |
