(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?
