3:1 For everything there is a season,

and a time for every matter under heaven;

3:2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant,

and a time to pluck up what is planted;

3:3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;

a time to break down, and a time to build up;

3:4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;

a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

3:5 a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;

a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

3:6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;

a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

3:7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;

a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

3:8 a time to love, and a time to hate;

a time for war, and a time for peace.
