Seasons Change. People Change

Ecclesiastes 3 International Standard Version (ISV)

The Purposes in God’s Timing

3 There is a season for everything,
and a time for every event under heaven:[a]
2 a time to be born, and a time to die;
    a time to plant, and a time to uproot 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 weep, and a time to laugh;
    a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to scatter stones, and a time to gather stones;
    a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to search, and a time to give up searching;[b]
    a time to keep, and a time to discard;
7 a time to tear, and a time to mend;
    a time to be silent, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
    a time for war, and a time for peace.
