2. A time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to uproot what was 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 throw away stones, and a time to gather stones;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6. A time to search, and a time to give something up as lost;a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
7. A time to rip, and a time to sew;a time to keep silent, and a time to speak.
