To every thing there is a season, and aa time to every bpurpose under the heaven:

2  A time †to be born, and a time to cdie;

A time to plant, and a time to dpluck 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 eto laugh;

A time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5  A time fto cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;

A time to embrace, and a time g†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 hrend, and a time to sew;

A time ito 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  jWhat profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

10 I have seen the ktravail, which lGod hath given to the sons of men kto be exercised in it. 11 He hath made every thing mbeautiful nin his time: also he hath oset the world in their heart, so that pno man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
