Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Contemporary English Version

1Everything on earth has its own time and its own season.
2There is a time for birth and death, planting and reaping,
3for killing and healing, destroying and building,
4for crying and laughing, weeping and dancing,
5for throwing stones and gathering stones, embracing and parting.
6There is a time for finding and losing, keeping and giving,
7for tearing and sewing, listening and speaking.
8There is also a time for love and hate, for war and peace.
