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,
⁵     a time for throwing stones and a time for gathering stones,
    a time for embracing and a time for avoiding embraces,
⁶     a time for searching and a time for losing,
    a time for keeping and a time for throwing away,
⁷     a time for tearing and a time for repairing,
    a time for keeping silent and a time for speaking,
⁸     a time for loving and a time for hating,
    a time for war and a time for peace.
