There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven:

A time for giving birth, a time for dying; a time for planting, a

time for uprooting what has been planted.

A time for killing, a time for healing; a time for knocking down, a time for

building. A time for tears, a time for laughter; a time for

mourning, a time for dancing. A time for throwing stones

away, a time for gathering them; a time for embracing, a time

to refrain from embracing. A time for searching, a time for

losing; a time for keeping, a time for discarding. A time for

tearing, a time for sowing; a time for keeping silent, a time

for speaking. A time for loving, a time for hating; a time for

war, a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 3, 1-8
