Ecclesiastes 3

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Eccl. 3:1-8 1. There is a season for everything, And a [right] time for eveything under heaven.

A time to be born, and a time to die, [A time for birth, and a time for death.] A time to plant, and a time pulling up what has been planted. [A time for planting, and a time for harvest.]

A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to break down, and a time to build up. [A time for tearing down, and a time for building.]

A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.

A time to throw stones away, and a time to gather stones together. A time to embrace, and a time not to embrace. [A time to hug, and a time for parting.]

A time to a search for things, and a time to give up searching. [A time to look for things, and a time to give up as lost.] A time to keep, and a time to throw away.

A time to tear apart, and a time to mend together. A time to keep quiet, and a time to speak up. [A time to listen, and a time to speak.]

A time to love, and a time to hate. A time for war, and a time for peace.
