To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
