Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3 – Douay Version

 

All things have their season: and in their times all things pass under heaven

A time to be born, and a time to die.

A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.

A time to kill, and a time to heal.

A time to destroy, 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.

A time to embrace and a time to be far from embraces.

A time to get, and a time to lose.

A time to keep, and a time to cast away.

A time to rend, and a time to sew.

A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

A time of love and a time of hatred.

A time of  war, and a time of peace.
