3:1 A right time for everything

3 There’s an appointed time for everything,

and an appropriate time for every activity in this world:

2 A time to give birth and a time to die.

A time to plant and a time to pull out what was 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 cry and a time to laugh.

A time to mourn and a time to dance.

5 A time to throw stones and a time to pick up stones.

A time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing.

6 A time to search and a time to lose.

A time to keep and a time to toss out.

7 A time to tear and a time to mend.

A time to be silent and a time to speak up.

8 A time to love and a time to hate.

A time for war and a time for peace.

3 Belongs_to_everything an_appointed_time and_a_time to/from_all/each/any/every matter under the_heavens.
