Ecclesiastes 3:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² There is a time to be born.
    And there’s a time to die.
There is a time to plant.
    And there’s a time to pull up what is planted.
³ There is a time to kill.
    And there’s a time to heal.
There is a time to tear down.
    And there’s a time to build up.
⁴ There is a time to weep.
    And there’s a time to laugh.
There is a time to be sad.
    And there’s a time to dance.
