There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born
and a time to die,
a time to plant
and a time to uproot,
a time to kill
and a time to heal,
a time to tear
down and a time to build,
a time to weep
and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn
and a time to dance,
a time to scatter
stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace
and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search
and a time to give up,
a time to keep and
a time to throw away,
a time to tear
and a time to mend,
a time to be
silent and a time to speak,
a time to love
and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden
God has laid on the human race. He has
made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human
heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people
than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and
drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. Ecclesiastes 3:1-13
