Ecclesiastes 3

There Is a Time for Everything

1 There is a time for everything.
There's a time for everything that is done on earth.

2 There is a time to be born.
And there's a time to die.
There is a time to plant.
And there's a time to pull up what is planted.

3 There is a time to kill.
And there's a time to heal.
There is a time to tear down.
And there's a time to build up.

4 There is a time to cry.
And there's a time to laugh.
There is a time to be sad.
And there's a time to dance.

5 There is a time to scatter stones.
And there's a time to gather them.
There is a time to hug.
And there's a time not to hug.

6 There is a time to search.
And there's a time to stop searching.
There is a time to keep.
And there's a time to throw away.

7 There is a time to tear.
And there's a time to mend.
There is a time to be silent.
And there's a time to speak.

8 There is a time to love.
And there's a time to hate.
There is a time for war.
And there's a time for peace.
