Ecclesiastes 3:1-4

Common English Bible

3 There’s a season for everything
    and a time for every matter under the heavens:
²     a time for giving birth and a time for dying,
    a time for planting and a time for uprooting what was planted,
³     a time for killing and a time for healing,
    a time for tearing down and a time for building up,
⁴     a time for crying and a time for laughing,
    a time for mourning and a time for dancing,
