Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born , and a time to die ; a time to plant , and a time to pluck up that which 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 together ; a time to embrace , and a time to refrain from embracing ;
6 A time to get , and a time to lose ; a time to keep , and a time to cast away ;
7 A time to rend , and a time to sew ; a time to keep silence , and a time to speak ;
8 A time to love , and a time to hate ; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
