\nTo everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven:<\/p>\n

A time to be born, and
\na time to die;
\na time to plant, and
\na time to pluck up
\nthat which is planted;<\/p>\n

A time to kill, and
\na time to heal;
\na time to break down, and
\na time to build up;<\/p>\n

A time to weep, and
\na time to laugh;
\na time to mourn, and
\na time to dance;<\/p>\n

A time to cast away stones, and
\na time to gather stones together;
\na time to embrace, and
\na time to refrain from embracing;<\/p>\n

A time to get, and
\na time to lose;
\na time to keep, and
\na time to cast away;<\/p>\n

A time to rend, and
\na time to sow;
\na time to keep silence, and
\na time to speak;<\/p>\n

A time to love, and
\na time to hate;
\na time of war; and
\na time of peace.<\/p>\n
