1. To everything--a season, and a time to every delight under the heavens:
2. A time to bring forth, And a time to die. A time to plant, And a time to eradicate the planted.
3. A time to slay, 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 skip.
5. A time to cast away stones, And a time to heap up stones. A time to embrace, And a time to be far from embracing.
6. A time to seek, And a time to destroy. A time to keep, And a time to cast away.
7. A time to rend, And a time to sew. A time to be silent, And a time to speak.
