There is a for everything,a time for every occupation under heaven:
a time for giving birth, a time for dying;a time for planting, a time for uprooting;a time for killing, a time for healing;a time for knocking down, a time for building.
A time for tears, a time for laughter;a time for mourning, a time for dancing.
A time for throwing stones away, a time for gathering them;a time for embracing, a time to refrain from embracing.
A time for searching, a time for losing;a time for keeping, a time for discarding.a time for tearing, a time for sewing;a time for keeping silent, a time for speaking.
A time for loving, a time for hating;a time for war, a time for peace.
