TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven:

A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted,
A time to hurt and a time to heal,
A time to destroy and a time to build,
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance,
A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones,
A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
A time to get and a time to lose,
A time to keep and a time to cast away,
A time to tear off and a time to sew,
A time to keep silence and a time to speak,
A time to love and a time to hate,
A time to give love and a time to be loved,
A time for war and a time for peace,
A time to sow and a time to reap.

I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time appointed for every matter and purpose and for every work under heaven.
