To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
2
A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
3
A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;
4
A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
5
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
6
A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
