Ecclesiastes 3:1-9

Tree of Life Version

3 For everything there is a season
and a time for every activity under heaven:
² a time to give birth and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted;
³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear 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 scatter stones and a time to gather stones,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
⁶ a time to seek and a time to lose,
a time to keep and a time to discard;
⁷ a time to tear apart and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak;
⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
